“At PASOK we are not uniform, because we are a large faction, with our candidates expressing too many tendencies across the progressive and democratic spectrum,” said the member of the party’s Political Council, Kostas Skandalidisspeaking to and to “Mismatched».

With reference to last Tuesday’s debate, Mr. Skandalidis emphasized that it turned out that PASOK has nothing to do with SYRIZA, since the procedures followed are coordinated, with him predicting that over 300,000 people will come to the polls to vote , calling it a “big bet”.

“I believe that whoever is elected, if he does not mobilize people the next day and we make the same mistake as the previous times, he will criminalize PASOK. The first job is to rebuild the movement, otherwise it will not be possible to overthrow Mitsotakis, whose state has failed in dealing with natural disasters, the rule of law, wiretapping and institutions”.

He repeated that PASOK has lost its soul, but as he said “this happened in the last 20 years and not during the term of Nikos Androulakis”, while at the same time he pointed out that it is necessary “whoever is elected to guarantee that the base will have a say”. Asked about the presidential candidates, he emphasized that they all have qualifications, but the most important thing is what the one who will be elected will do with the rest of his fellow candidates.

“PASOK must in any case be competitive with New Democracy, because otherwise there is a risk that we will not see Velopoulos as the official opposition.”
