Yesterday’s reversal with his statement is complete Othona Iliopoulos how does he not leave his seat in Parliament by overturning all the information that existed? Arriving at the event presented by Stefanos Kasselakis entitled “for another Europe”, he told reporters: “I remain a fighting MP of SYRIZA-PS. We are working with the President of the official opposition, Stefanos Kasselakis, to give Greek women and men a way out.” A little later the same leaked from Koumoundourou.

It is recalled that the oncology professor had opened the issue himself, stating last week that the workload will lead him at some point to make a decision on what to leave and what to keep. All yesterday in the Parliament, the subject of the imminent resignation of Othon Iliopoulos monopolized. And among executives of Koumoundourou, there seems to have been surprise initially from yesterday’s announcement based on the image they had formed. There was, after all, no refutation of the information that Mr. Iliopoulos’ place would be taken by the fourth runner-up, Popi Tsapanidou. For some executives, the Oncology professor, who inspires respect for everyone in SYRIZA, may want more time to think about what to do. Whatever the case may be, the mystery will be solved in the coming days, as it is a fact that leaks maintained for a long time are not good for the party at a time when it is on the rise.

Popi Tsapanidou was elected MP in last May’s elections as fourth on the State ballot, however the drop in SYRIZA’s percentage from 20.07% to 17.8% brought her out of Parliament in June. She herself has not positioned herself in relation to the information that brings her to take the position of Mr. Iliopoulos.

A few hours before appearing in Thebes to fulfill his military obligations, Stefanos Kasselakis continues to send many political messages. At the 3rd annual conference of “the Upfront Initiative” he said: “half of PASOK is center-right, not center-left” and called the KKE a homophobic party. On the occasion of Pavlos Polakis’ stance on the bill for same-sex couples, he “nailed” New Democracy, commenting that “he will climb with me to 400 meters altitude, have no doubt. Deal with the other parties that have a third of their caucus abstain and allow such behaviors that drive people to suicide.” Before presenting tomorrow at the Thebes camp, he will speak early at noon in the central square of the city.

According to information from SYRIZA sources, the deadline for those who want to register for the Eurolist expires on Sunday. On March 22, the list of candidates who will participate in the preliminary ballots will be announced. On April 14, the intra-party referendum will probably be held in a hybrid way.
