The situation in Koumoundourou is chaotic again after the Kasselakis – Gerovasilis fight at the meeting of the Central Organizing Committee of the SYRIZA Congress yesterday and the departure of the “guard” Tsipras.

The new scene of tension was caused where no one expected it, in a typical, online meeting on the technical issues of the upcoming conference.

According to information, Olga Gerovasili, Socrates Famellos and other officials raised an issue with the date of the SYRIZA congress, which coincides with the PASOK elections.

In fact, Stefanos Kasellakis had not connected initially and when he connected, the episode was caused,

Mr. Ragousis he referred to the proposed changes he is preparing for the statute, while other officials told the SYRIZA president to hold the conference two weeks later.

At this point, the party president reportedly told the executives that “anyone who doesn’t agree with me, get up and leave.”

The president’s admonition caused a lot of backlash and some called for him to retract. Then the eight executives who had signed the previous week’s text left. Among them were Mrs. Gerovasili, Mr. FlambourarisMr. Ragousis, Mr. Theocharopoulos and Mr. Zachariadis.

The deepest causes of the crisis in the party

According to the report by Antonis Anzoletou, behind the lawless situation that was created yesterday, deeper issues are hidden – in relation to the physiognomy of SYRIZA the next day, perhaps even a name change in the statute – than the disagreements about when the congress will take place and whether it will be called extraordinary or permanent.

Some see that SYRIZA is changing – and indeed very much compared to the party it was before – and all the concerns, attitudes and different opinions are slowly beginning to be articulated.

Kasselakis is unmoved on the matter of the date

After the episodic interruption of the CET, which will be repeated on Friday, Stefanos Kasselakis contacted Olga Gerovasilis, Katerina Notopoulou and other officials, about what took place.

Sources of Koumoundourou said that “we must all respect and implement the decisions of the bodies, therefore also of the KE which decided that the conference will take place on October 4-6”.

Regarding the opinion of Olga Gerovasilis, that it is unfair to hold the conference on the same day as the PASOK conference, party sources emphasized that “SYRIZA does not differentiate itself even according to its party procedures in relation to other parties”.
