“If it’s not me against the new would-be subversives, it will be someone else. They will call him “skydiving“, but society will have brought him, as it brought me. Society brought me” writes Stefanos Kasselakis, simultaneously publishing a series of his photos.

According to information from SKAI, the President of SYRIZA-PS, entering the Congress arena, passed in front of the table where the signatures for the postponement of the elections were being collected.

Then the bystanders said to him: “President, will you sign?” and Mr. Kasselakis replied, according to information: “I’m sorry I can’t. I can’t be Iphigenia.”

Stefanos Kasselakis stated in his speech that “he is not president under a deadline and if an opponent is found, the leader will be elected again from the grassroots”, responding to the intervention of Alexis Tsipras shortly before the Congress began. However, even after the ferments of yesterday that brought Olga Gerovasilis as a possible opponent of Mr. Kasselakis, at the Congress a proposal tends to be formed by some executives according to which the election of the leader will have negative consequences for the unity of SYRIZA and should to be moved to after the European elections.

Sources close to Stefanos Kasselakis mentioned this proposal “the answer is: clean solutions” and they explained that this means appealing to the base of the party to clarify the landscape.
