Pavlos Polakis intervened in the internal party developments in SYRIZA with a statement calling on his fellow candidates for the presidency of the party to jointly agree on the terms of an “honest and clean fight”.

In his statement he emphasizes that “we don’t deserve the mischief and the extra-judicials, nor the petty politics, nor the plans that emerge at night in the basements! I call for the extra-judicials to be withdrawn IMMEDIATELY and for all the paraphilology about deleting a presidential candidate to STOP!!”

“I have declared that I was, am and will be SYRIZA PS and I consider the only way to reposition the party in a governmental orbit, the orderly election of a new president, without exclusions. Society demands that the election be judged in the field of politics, with the submission of positions and a program of all the candidates. I have set the example first” he notes.

Mr. Polakis also refers to the issue that has arisen with the leak of Stefanos Kasselakis’ “pothen esshes”: “Today I am calling on all the co-candidates for president of the SYRIZA PS, to meet and agree on the terms of an honest and clean fight that will is getting stronger and will not debase SYRIZA. Let everyone rise to the occasion and stop the shadow theater where alleged perpetrators and alleged victims are the protagonists. We do not deserve either the mischief and the extrajudicial, nor the plans that disappear in the night in the basement! I call for the withdrawal of the extrajudicials and for all the paraphilology about the removal of a presidential candidate to be stopped!! the people of the democratic faction! On the basis of the decisions of SYRIZA PS, let us all take a position in public, today, I am present for the great and victorious SYRIZA PS and not a party of arrangements and tactics on the fringes of political life and far from the needs of the people. !”.

In closing, he states: “If someone does not want or cannot perceive my message, then they desire evil and not good, the liquidation and not the strengthening of the historically necessary great majority of the Left. The time for us all to meet with our responsibility has arrived !”.
