THE SYRIZA he failed to “write” in front of his percentage the number 2, as he had stated Stefanos Kasselakiswho, however, in his statements last night, emphasized that the difference with the ND was reduced to 13 points and that from now on, until the 2027 elections, SYRIZA has received time credit from the Greek people for an alternative government proposal.

However, it is a common secret that in Koumoundourou the executives do have a higher morale compared to last year at this time, but on the other hand we cannot say that they are sailing in a sea of ​​happiness for 14.92%, with the ” mutterings” and mild grumblings should not be absent from the statements of the party’s leading officials.

They believe that although they maintained the second position despite the double split and the internal turmoil of the previous interval, however, the result is still disappointing compared to the expectations that had been created.

“Fever” of initiatives and announcements for the formation of the “great Center Left”

“SYRIZA endured, with the election result being a clear disapproval of the government,” the party’s press representative told SKAI on Sunday evening. Voula Kehagiaadding that “we are clearly the second political force in the country, at a time when some were saying we would be third, including some polls”.

He then pointed out that they will appeal to the left and progressive forces in the coming days, as the result confirms that “SYRIZA is the leading force in the space of the Center Left, the progressive Center and the Left”.

“And from now on we can, with the appropriate government program, which we will present in the next period, convince the citizens, who have not been convinced so far, as we have had only two months of clear progress in relation to our internal parties “, concluded Mrs. Kehagia, setting the tone for the new “great Center Left”.

And indeed, before the integration of 100% of the departments was completed, a series of prominent executives of Koumoundourou raised from the first moment the question of restructuring the progressive space, observing that yesterday’s sum of SYRIZA and PASOK falls short of the percentage of ND.

On Monday morning, in a joint written statement, the Dionysis Tebonerasmember of the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA PS, and Antonis Kotsakas.

As they point out in the announcement, “we are troubled by the fact that the citizens who are freed from ND and right-wing policies, did not clearly trust our political proposals” and concludes that there must be “democratic processes of political and social osmosis, away from hegemonies, entrenchments and internal party records”.

On the same wavelength, both the SYRIZA member of parliament, Katerina Notopoulouwhich characterized the convergence of the progressive space as necessary, as did the former deputy secretary of the party, George Vasiliadis, characterizing the abstention as a message to all, saying that the ND suffered a defeat, but the progressive forces fall short.

“Complaints” and “nails” in the assessment of the election result

On the other side, there were not a few voices of those who were not only not satisfied with the election result, but did not hesitate to express their displeasure at the fact that SYRIZA failed to “harness” the admittedly great corruption of the government.

In particular, the MEP candidate was clear in his position, George Tsipras, who appeared on SKAI television very critical of the message of the people, stating that the party did not reach its goal. “I don’t think that we have won from today’s elections, political upheaval means that when the government wears out, you will have to step up too.”

“We have a SYRIZA that has lost three units, we have to look at the big picture. Let’s admit that no one can do it on their own”, he emphasized Kostas Zachariadis, while the vice-president of the ParliamentOlga Gerovasili focus on that “the numbers are relentless and we must read them not as it suits us, but really read them” .

Mrs. Gerovasili also focused on the issue of abstinence. “Today (yesterday) there is no winner, the winner is abstention,” he stressed, without excluding SYRIZA from the impasse. “We all have to change,” he observed.
