According to many, the president of SYRIZA is trying to do a total “clearing” in order to move forward with his own agenda towards the October conference.
This is definitely not that simple. OR reinstatement of Pavlos Polakis in the parliamentary group was the last and third act of the counterattack that he prepared as a whole to the internal party opposition. After the alliance with Nikos Pappa and his designation as head of the parliamentary group and its deletion Athena Linouthe reinstatement of the MP from Chania in KO was a clear “signal” of the president that he does not want him as his opponent.
Epimythium? THE Pavlos Polakis he is the absolute “winner” of the conflict with Stefanos Kasselakis regardless of what he does in three days. He can effectively impose his own agenda by interfering with leadership.
Can she not question him? Based on what he has attributed to him so far, it would be very difficult to turn 180 degrees. Unless he balances with words and whether the change in policy that is required and requested by all in the last days also requires a change in leadership.
In his post yesterday, in relation to the “bombshell” about the name change, he said: “Finally stop the pointless confrontation. The name doesn’t have the grace, the clear program does. Organizational changes serve the implementation of the political plan of change that you advocate. Not the control of the mechanism you want to impose.”
It is a fact that the internal party opposition is waiting in the “corner” both for Pavlos Polakis, in case he does not proceed with a motion of censure, and for Stefanos Kasselakis, as in this case they estimate that there will have been a secret agreement between the two former allies. The “87” will have drawn the line they will follow by Friday, while it is considered possible to draw up a new text to be submitted.
The confrontation in the Central Committee is expected to be tough and in relation with the proposal for consultation by Stefanos Kasselakis in the Statute Committee to change the name to “Coalition of the Contemporary Left”.
What does the president of SYRIZA do? By undertaking sweeping changes, it starts with the name and the “brand” which has been identified with the period of hegemony of Alexis Tsipras. He leaves behind the term “radical”, but also the “Progressive Alliance” in which the former prime minister had invested. According to information at yesterday’s meeting, he was asked about this “omission” and answered, according to the same sources, that it is covered by the term “Coalition”.
Last night executives of “87” were commenting that Stefanos Kasselakis’ proposal for organizational changes is accompanied by his desire to build a personal party of his own.
Because the recommendation of the Ethics Committee to the Central Committee, as it emerged from the meeting that ended late on Tuesday night, will foresee a heavy penalty (suspension of party status or expulsion) it was decided to call Christos Spirtzis again for an apology on Thursday at five o’clock afternoon.
