Stefanos Kasselakis attacked, among others, Antonis Samaras on the occasion of his placement in the War Museum yesterday – What did he say about Alexis Tsipras and the closing of “Avgi”
“To stop the discussion about mergers and acquisitions and liquidation, and even outside the party’s organs”, demanded the president of SYRIZA-PS, Stefanos Kasselakis in an interview he gave to Alpha TV after his return from the United States.
He said of his trip that it was aimed at creating the “infrastructure with contacts to support the efforts of the progressive world. We saw the wave in favor of the Far Right in Europe”.
Subsequently attacked Antonis Samaras on the occasion of his statement yesterday at the War Museum: “I agree with Mr. Samaras that Europe has become a director. But his own strategy is based on intolerance and a return to the past. We have a long way to go in the progressive space to wake up the people.” He agreed with Mr. Samaras’ reports on the VAT reduction and added that “he agreed with us that there are cartels and oligopolies”.
Continuing, he said: “I saw the room applauding with joy the intolerant reports of Mr. Samaras. The ND lost not only from the marriage to the right, but also from the centrist space. We didn’t reap as much as we should from the reduction, but we will build credibility and reap it.”
In his crucial matter “black money” quoted by his post as saying: “It’s interesting that when a new person outside the system says these words there is a panic in the system.” Explaining, he referred to the debt of the ND: “We do not know the debt of the ND, how it is regulated, how it pays its pre-election expenses. I proposed that internationally renowned companies come in to audit the finances over the course of a decade. So many people who are at risk of losing their homes cannot have such an arrangement. Where do the resources come from?’
He explained that “I am referring to the options that were proposed to me so that there would not be the persistent choice of rationalization that also concerns the Media. I don’t know that there is any issue of black money, but you need to speak to the previous CFO.”
For “Dawn”
Regarding the “Avgi” newspaper, Mr. Kasselakis noted that announcements will be made to the institutions in the coming days regarding the closure of its daily paper and pointed out that state funding has been greatly reduced.
At the same time, he said that Avgi can continue to produce journalistic work, but on the site and invited the party officials to strengthen the party media.
For Alexis Tsipras
Regarding his relationship with Alexis Tsipras Mr. Kasselakis said: “My relationship with Alexis Tsipras is purely political, the work he did is very good, I honor it and it is the legacy that we must follow,” noted Stefanos Kasselakis.
When asked if he felt he was being undermined by Alexis Tsipras, and about the change he made to his controversial post, he said he made the change because he felt the second wording was more accurate. “The honest position for everyone is to say that the official opposition is entitled to be a leader in these negotiations. And this includes Mr. Tsipras. The leader of the official opposition must be the leader in any scheme of agreement. If PASOK wishes to cooperate in a parliamentary project. we are here”.
Mr. Kasselakis also said that he does not have new internal party elections in mind, however, he said that changes will be made to the instruments.
