Giorgos Tsipras spoke to K. Laskaratos on the “Prime” program of ERTNews after the termination of the employment contract by SYRIZA.

“I don’t think there is a need to go into details. I have made a relevant statement. That is, after a radio interview with the NRA, I was notified after ten minutes that my employment contract was being terminated. There was some leak from Koumoundourou circles, which I don’t want to answer because Koumoundourou did not have an official announcement. All I want to say is that it is seven sentences, seven lies. They are atrocities and even childish character assassination,” he initially stated.

“If they dare, let them make an official announcement,” he said later.

Mr. Tsipras stated that he acquired a salaried relationship with the party after the election of Kasselakis and said that no, it “fell from the clouds” with today’s decision, as “the list may have already existed before the election and others may follow.” “That is, anyone who is absolutely not of the president’s opinion. The reasons, however, have nothing to do with what is mentioned,” he explained.

He said in a statement that for the phone to ring right away, it was a coincidence, following other coincidences: “There have been quite a few coincidences throughout the past about people who are not identified with anything that one, two people say.” .

For reconstitution of the progressive space, George Tsipras emphasized that: “There are two issues that concern all the processes that will follow in the next period and have already started after the European elections. The one issue is whether there is a will to turn in this direction of the Center-Left reconstitution. And the second issue is with which strategy. That is, the first thing is to have the will. It is not a matter of saying that “if situations arise, etc. we will be present”. The issue is what is our opinion, what should be done. From my entire campaign tour, one thing I received from the people is that a very large percentage, an overwhelming majority of 70, 80, 90%, say that you guys have to do something, meaning the whole progressive space.

He added that, “it will be very difficult. It is neither a matter of welding, nor is it a matter of a summit meeting. It’s a lot of things together, but everyone says it. So it is a request of the times.”

Mr. Tsipras even explained that in the previous fifteen years it seemed difficult to have a coexistence and unity of some forces, which finally happened. “Life itself led to a certain way of doing it and I think we are facing such a situation,” he said.

At the same time, he explained that there may be an individual problem of the parties themselves in that they cannot find a common “walk”. “This was even said yesterday by Alexis Tsipras at the Institute. That is, obviously part of the responsibility also concerns us. If the world considered us or PASOK an alternative perspective, there would be less abstention and there would be an upvote. We are also part of the unreliability of the political system, obviously much less than the government.”

About who can “win” K. Mitsotakis, Mr. Tsipras said: “We need a serious alternative proposal. To convince the Greek people. When you don’t convince you have a problem, the Greek people don’t. When this proposal is put together, it will be possible to defeat Mitsotakis or any of his successors.”

As far as whether Alexis Tsipras will “play” any role in this process Mr. Tipras explained that, “I don’t know if he wants it himself and obviously he should be asked himself. But there is no one left. He is human, he can still offer a lot. A lot of people refer to him.”
