With a “boiling cauldron” he seems to resemble SYRIZAsince the morning has been meeting in high tones the Central Committee of the party in a central hotel in Athens.
While there are not a few “nails” from first-class executives of Koumoundourou to his own face Stefanou Kasselakisa full-length discussion is underway on all the important issues from the course of SYRIZA, the collaborations, the strategic choices of the leadership and the proposals for radical cuts in the structures and the functioning of the party bodies.
Episode between Kasselakis-Georgopoulos – Review by Gerovasilis, Spirtzis and Theocharopoulos
Earlier, Mr Thanassis Theocharopoulos directed his “fires” at the president of the party for the negative result of the European elections. “In the elections, we got 3 percentage points and 340,000 votes less than the very negative result we got a year ago, which led to the resignation of the former president,” said Mr. Theocharopoulos and added:
“There were many pre-election mistakes. Post-election even more. Posts with insinuations about the transparency of the party, with insinuations about subversives up to the former president, with political persecutions. And of course by closing the Dawn ‘with a switch’ like the “black” of ERT. And then the previous ones, the workers and the next ones are to blame.”
On the same wavelength and Olga Gerovasiliwho commented in her speech that “it is not possible to go with a logic that anyone who does not keep silent is a subversive”, adding at the same time that the collective is not a weakness.
“The discussion, the dialogue, the opinions, the experiences, the specialized knowledge of each and every one are a wealth”, underlined Mrs. Gerovasili, while the sharp was also Christos Spirtziswho emphasized that “liquidation of a party in operation for the first time we will watch”.
Earlier there was a minor incident when the former financial director and member of the Central Committee Thymios Georgopoulos he was discussing with the journalists about positions formulated on the finances of the party.
At that moment Stefanos Kasselakis told him that what he is doing violates the statute, with Mr. Georgopoulos replying that he is talking exactly about the points of his speech in the meeting.
Then, in fact, the former financial director, addressing Mr. Kasselakis, emphasized that “SYRIZA managed its finances during the Alexis Tsipras era with clean hands.”
Disagreement between Polakis and Ragousis on the single organization of the Center-Left
At the same time, the discussion turned to the reorganization of the progressive space, with the member of parliament of Chania Pavlos Polakis to point out that “in order for there to be an alternative pole of government and for Mitsotakis not to win again, we must first of all convince the 1,000,000 voters of the left democratic camp that we lost to abstention, to return to active political action and vote in the next elections”.
“Based on this program as the new modern social contract, we will call upon the social and political forces for cooperation.” “Otherwise, the logic of uniting as with PASOK in order not to be lost, is a line that leads to disaster,” he concluded.
His disagreement with the above opinion was expressed by Yannis Ragousis,
“The greatest strength we can have against the extra-institutional centers is that only the referendum can give it to us,” Mr. Ragousis also noted, pointing out that “the one who does not want the reorganization of the Progressive space is Maximou and the extra-institutional centers”.
Then, he noted that “a strong opponent to the ND will not be formed by disbanding the parties that will participate, but by a body that will submit unified ballots to the Supreme Court, in order to claim the bonus of parliamentary seats provided for by the electoral law” and concluded that “on the night of the next national elections, if for the first time in the post-colonial period, the ND wins for the third time in a row, then the question will be one: “who is to blame?”. Let everyone choose what they want to be attributed to them.”
