An uproar has been caused in recent days with the SYRIZA MP, Peter Pappawith Koumoundourou “emptying” him and officially because he asked for the punishment of a soldier who participated in a political event positioning himself against Israel.

Speaking to Mr. Pappas spoke of “attempted distortion of statements” and “character assassination” regarding his face Stefanou Kasselakis.

“What I did was to talk about the content of the conscript’s speech, which was carried out against a foreign state. I would do the same in any case and I turn the question around: what if a military man took part in a march against the Prespa Agreement and spoke about the murderous state of North Macedonia? Or similarly if there was a march in favor of Israel and someone was talking about the killer state of Palestine? Obviously everyone has civil rights, but I made a fair criticism of a man who spoke on behalf of the entire military.”

“We are currently talking about a replacement in SYRIZA”

With reference to the “war” with the extrajudicial proceedings against SYRIZA and the deletion of Kasselakis, Petros Pappas agreed that “this is their intention, to delete Mr. Kasselakis, and they have said it in all tones, voting for replacement provisions. We are talking about a by-law at the moment in place of a by-law. The culmination of all this was the leak of the personal data of Stefanos Kasselakis under the responsibility of the secretary of the party, Rania Svigou”.

He added that the party is not commanded by the 87, but by the dominant people, while he launched a fierce attack against Kostas Zachariadis. “Apart from Stefanos, Mr. Zachariadis also referred to me personally, saying that I am humiliating them. I have to say that his course in the municipal faction of the municipality of Athens is humiliating. Obviously we were second in Athens as a force and he barely made it and came third and sweaty. Alexis Tsipras had chosen someone else and Mr. Zachariadis did everything to be a candidate. This was a humiliation of SYRIZA, if he thinks that I am the one who humiliates the faction”.

Finally, speaking about the former president of SYRIZA, he pointed out that Alexis Tsipras has completed his historic cycle in leadership, while he did not hide his opinion that “his return is not currently a solution”.
