Negative at tomorrow’s (Thursday) meeting of the SYRIZA presidential candidates, proposed by Pavlos Polakis, Sokratis Famellos appeared indirectly, stating that “I informed the secretary of the Central Committee that, apparently in consultation with the party’s organs, I can participate in any meeting that will provide solutions”. This must be done within the family and the organs of SYRIZA”. “Party organs must function democratically and respect them. That’s where we start, from the rules of our common existence,” he emphasized.

“It is very obvious that I will contribute to the recovery of this negative climate. Why we need to discuss a perspective. My candidacy aims at this, at having a perspective, at having a better SYRIZA” he noted.

Taking a stand against Stefanos Kasselakis, he observed that “it is unacceptable and unthinkable the extrajudicial dispatch to the Central Committee. I find it inconceivable that a potential candidate for president would go to court against the party whose presidency he wants to run for. I am completely covered by yesterday’s decision of the Political Secretariat and the return of the extrajudicial as inadmissible”.

“In the perspective and the necessity of the unity, efficiency and seriousness of SYRIZA, I am willing to contribute in any way so that there is a restoration of this stigma. Because as well as the rant of ‘entanglement’, I replied how it is returned to the former presidentnoted Mr. Famellos.

Sokratis Famellos officially submitted his candidacy for the presidency of SYRIZA earlier. The nomination, accompanied by 117 signatures of members of the Central Committee, took place, as previously announced, at noon on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Mr. Famellos sent SYRIZA his letter of intent.

According to a new announcement from Koumoundourou, the meeting of the SYRIZA Committee scheduled for noon on Thursday will be held on a new date.
