The “knives” are out SYRIZA both sides put all their “weapons” on the table. Tactical and strategic moves take place in order to see the weaknesses of the “opponent” or to “scare” him on the way to the polls. THE Stefanos Kasselakis has now been legally covered by the removal of the power of attorney to the party director, Christos Mavrokephalidis, while sending a message to the “87” that the conflict that will follow will be fierce. He continues contacts with executives and parliamentarians and emphasizes the region. It is possible that he will announce his next steps towards the end of the week.

The “87” are organized with a big “thorn” remaining the person who will represent them in the elections. Fermentations take place, “hearings” take place, but still no “white smoke” has come out. According to a report by “Kathimerini tis Kyriaki”, an executive who conducts talks and measures nominations talks about three “very good cases”. She only reveals one by sticking to her candidacy Olga Gerovasili. The vice-president of the Parliament does not seem to want her involvement. The other two are not from the parliamentary group, but have expressed interest.

According to sources of the newly formed majority, there are three scenarios that have been examined in relation to how they will proceed with Stefanos Kasselakis:

– From the moment he announces his candidacy, the base should be the one that will depose him definitively.
– Not to ratify his candidacy after relevant recommendations made by the bodies and on the occasion of vindictive moves against the party.
– To be referred to the Ethics Committee

In the new majority there are executives such as Katerina Notopoulou, Yiannis Ragousis, Thanasis Theocharopoulos, Christos Spirtzis etc. who still publicly take a very hard line on the former president.

The Central Committee that will take place over the weekend will be pivotal, as the two sides – and Pavlos Polakis – will largely reveal how they will proceed. His placement is also awaited with interest Socrates Famellou from the top governing body’s step in relation to his candidacy or possible support from the ’87’. Possibly there will be another round of discussion regarding the date of the elections with the side of Stefanos Kasselakis and Pavlos Polakis wanting the procedures to run faster. Today at 16.00 the Political Secretariat will meet again.
