“The Center-Left is not a matter of persons, we must focus on how and not on who” – What he said about “Avgi” and Tsipras
“I believe that there is obviously no conflict at the top of SYRIZA, there are no conflicts”, pointed out, among other things, the MP of the party, Olga Gerovasili.
Speaking to and to “Today“, Mrs. Gerovasili said that Mr Stefanos Kasselakis he single-handedly opened a leadership issue, as no one else raised such an issue in the official opposition party. “The president himself spoke to the Parliamentary Group, he said that if polls are opened in the Center-Left he will be a candidate, the next day he said that he will be a candidate again if Alexis Tsipras is also there, then of course he also said “Alexis, shall we go? “, as he said.
“It is particularly dangerous to pose artificial dilemmas like the one raised by Mr. Kasselakis “either you won’t talk or you are subversives”, added the SYRIZA member of parliament, while at the same time leaving “tips” for the closure of “Dawn“, clarifying that the decision was indeed taken in January 2022 under the leadership of Alexis Tsipras, however it did not concern the closure of the newspaper, but the continuation of its operation with a specific plan to consolidate the Administration, including voluntary departures and reduction of staff.
“The Center Left is not a matter of persons, we must focus on how and not on who”
Regarding the developments in Center leftOlga Gerovasili noted that this is a discussion that opened after the European elections, stressing:
“We must all, if we want to be useful in our country, take a position and respond away from small parties and hegemony. It’s not about persons, we need to focus on how and not who. I want my party to have a leading role in the discussion on progressive governance of the country.”
When asked if he made a mistake when he backed down on the SYRIZA leadership claim at the February conference, he said that “at that time I had the opinion that we were not on the right track and I expressed it in my speech”, adding that ” We definitely have a lot of problems at the moment, but we can get better.”
In closing, he refrained from commenting on his latest moves Alexis Tsiprasstating that “only he will decide when and how to act on anything.”
