To and in the show “Today» with them Dimitris Oikonomou and Akis Pavlopoulos was found on Thursday morning by the member of parliament and candidate for president SYRIZA, Socrates Famous, who was asked to comment on all the latest developments surrounding the internal party situation in Koumoundourou.

Initially, he admitted that the situation “has reached an impasse” in the Official Opposition party, pointing out that “the reason why the motion of censure and the submission of nominations proceeded was precisely this discrediting both as a party and ideas, that’s what I’m talking about restart”. He added that “the glass will not stick with group associations” because, as he said, “what we need in Greece is a progressive opposition, especially now that people do not trust politics. The glass will stick not only if some people who are already in tension with each other want it, but if society wants it too.”

“I was, I am and I will be SYRIZA – It is in my character to have a unifying attitude”

Then, answering whether he will give a role to Stefanos Kasselakis if he is elected to the leadership of SYRIZA, Mr. Famellos noted:

“Let’s make it clear that there will be no SYRIZA of Famellos, we cannot in a progressive party consider the president as an authority. When we invite other creative citizens who are needed in the party, it means everyone is needed and there will be no exclusion. The unifying attitude is in my character, I am, was and will be SYRIZA. The criticism we made of the former president is because he deviated not from a course, but from the goal of strengthening and sustaining SYRIZA, that is, what was happening was discrediting us and shrinking us. That’s the point.”

Finally, to a question about Alexis Tsipras, he emphasized that he is proud to have participated in his government, which has a political legacy and should be honored, as he said. “Alexis Tsipras is SYRIZA, SYRIZA MP and political capital of Greece and Europe and he can speak for himself about anything” he concluded.
