Another difficult day for Koumoundourou is today.

At one o’clock in the afternoon, the Political Secretariat meets where Pavlos Polakis, as well as the eight representatives of the internal party opposition of “87” are expected to open some of their “papers” in view of the Central Committee of the weekend.

They are certainly waiting with interest to hear what the president of the party has to say regarding the latest developments.

SYRIZA has passed a very critical turning point and everything seems to be hanging by a thread.

The organizational changes proposed by Stefanos Kasselakis did not work as a pacifier, nor as a distraction if there was such an intention.

On the contrary, they opened a new front which also extended to the level of “allies”.

Executives and parliamentarians who are in the wider environment of the president did not see with a positive eye the possibility that a debate on the name would now be opened, but neither should this issue concern the upcoming congress.

Neither side seems willing to back down. The leadership refutes those who ring election “bells” and urge Stefanos Kasselakis to lift the “gauntlet” to put an end to introversion.

Pavlos Polakis may have stayed away from social media yesterday, but it will not be easy to back down from what he has said. A “swing” should be sufficient justification for his many supporters, while the “87” also take a wait-and-see attitude.

Today’s meeting Ethics Committee and the announcement of the proposed sentence for Christos Spirtzis will greatly influence their attitude.

The information that speaks of a tough decision will be the guide for the internal party opposition in order to make critical decisions in relation to how they will act within the Central Committee, but possibly also in relation to their future in the party. An important role will also be played by Stefanos Kasselakis’ presentation to the Central Committee on Saturday, starting the work of the leading governing body.

As far as the balances are concerned, there is also a portion of executives within the “300” of K.E. who are also unaffiliated and are tired of the constant disputes. The last thing they would want at the moment is to resort to new elections.

That audience may tip the scales on developments at the weekend meeting. Yesterday until late at night the Statute Committee was meeting and discussing the proposed changes that have been tabled.
