We turn the page to SYRIZAcommented speaking to SKAI o Kostas Zachariadiswho added that a cycle was completed and that no one disputes the result of the specific process in the Central Committee.

SYRIZA is moving forward, the crucial thing that must be broadcast in these critical hours is to send a message of unity and promotional dialogue, noted Mr. Zachariadis saying that the party is not disintegrating.

“Presidents are not on pedestals. Parties are collective democratic bodies. The decision was made with a large majority because there were specific reasons, because we judged those who voted in favor of the proposal that SYRIZA with its current leadership is not going in the right direction”. It is a shallow analysis to say that only the president is responsible, said Mr. Zachariadis.

He went on to say that “what we need to do is discuss where we want to go. The official opposition needs to strengthen, to become concrete. I appreciate that we can change, regroup and become protagonists in the political life of the country again.”

He added that it is important to discuss policies and that it was a mistake that last year during the selection of the leader the discussion was more about the faces.

The positions of the party leadership that were being revealed were dramatically mismatched, he said.

He noted that we must unite the party, we are all 300 members of the KE together, all the scenarios of splits and degeneration of the party fell into the void, while he added that the shrinking of the last interval occurred because the discussion did not take place around politics. We need to be a political leader for the problems of the world, punctuality, housing, poor quality in health and education.

In question if there is possibility of the return of Alexis TsiprasMr. Zachariadis replied that he will say this himself, based on what I know, there is currently no such issue.

“Tsipras has not left. As he said last year, he stepped aside, he didn’t leave. With a horizon, Tsipras can and is present for the country’s issues, but I will not make suggestions to Alexis Tsipras. We in SYRIZA must learn to walk without Alexis Tsipras holding our hand, who is here,” he said characteristically.

Finally, he concluded by saying that our area must play a role so that in the 2027 elections the ND has a worthy opponent.
