The group of “8” gave a harsh response to the post of SYRIZA president Stefanos Kasselakis, with the “civil war” in SYRIZA escalating. “SYRIZA is humiliated daily by Stefanos Kasselakis who thrives on building internal enemies,” sources said.

“We will not follow him down, in concealing financial data and populism. He can continue arguing on his own. Panic is a bad adviser” they add emphatically.

It is recalled that eight prominent members of the Political Secretariat, close to “87”left the body’s meeting on Thursday expressing loud disagreement with the SYRIZA president’s choices, by submitting their own text.

The text is signed by: Olga Gerovasili, Alekos Flambouraris, Yannis Ragousis, Thanasis Theocharopoulos, Kostas Zachariadis, Zoe Karkoulia, Eleni Symeonidou and Katerina Notopoulou.

“Organized plan to humiliate SYRIZA to choose a savior of the entanglement”

For “organized plan of daily humiliation of SYRIZA” earlier Stefanos Kasselakis accused the “8” in his new post, claiming that the aim of this plan is to disappoint the voters and the party to “liquefy into a cloudy Center-Left” and then select a “savior from the entanglement”.

Mr. Kasselakis testifies that “will not allow” such a development, and he emphasizes that he has a duty “to keep the dignity of SYRIZA and above all the dignity of the world of SYRIZA”.

“SYRIZA, or will it become the party of the members, of the citizens, of the open society, or it will become a residue that time has passed,” notes the president of SYRIZA.

In detail what Stefanos Kasselakis stated in his new post

“‘He’s confused.’ ”It’s inadequate”. This is what the 8 write today about the president of the party they belong to. I don’t have a problem with insults, but the issue for me is: how are some people in a party who talk about any party president the way ND would talk about him? How is it that there are some in a party who did not put their hands in their pockets to pay the workers, when they know what we received financially, and when I told them: “Contribute the maximum amount you can, and I will personally put in double the amount, in order to be paid wages and leave allowances”.

How are some people in a party who for 5 days, when we were in the field of destruction, did not bother to be even for a moment next to the people who lost their lives? For a year now, every time we are in opposition, every time we table proposals, like yesterday on civil protection, I find in front of me a number: the 53, the 6+6, the 87, the 8 of the 87. Never the 150,000 that lined up for hours to elect their next president.

There is an organized plan: The daily humiliation of SYRIZA until the congress, so that no one stays, you are disappointed first of all, you stop supporting, and SYRIZA, completely discredited, on the one hand does not change, and on the other hand is liquidated into a nebulous “Center Left” with a “savior” chosen by the Entanglement.

For these shapes only through intrigue appear.

My position does not allow me to allow it.

I am President of all. Not of one faction. My duty is to keep the dignity of SYRIZA and above all the dignity of the SYRIZA world.

If they have even a little respect for the world of SYRIZA, let them all reveal their sincere intentions NOW”.

I will not allow them to burn our hopes for 2 months until the conference, and leave, leaving a trail. Personally, I will go as far as human strength permits in a constitutional convention in which everything will be changed.

SYRIZA will either become the party of the members, of the citizens, of the open society, or it will become a relic out of date. Let’s all respect the people who supported us and are struggling. They do not owe anything to be dragged to the bottom of personal selfishness. Dignity now, for there to be an opposition now, because despite all the internal party efforts to discredit, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, even today, is afraid of one because he does not control him: yours, ours SYRIZA”.
