The majority of the body decided to put the case on file without examining it on its merits – Themis Moumoulidis had referred Stefanos Kasselakis
With 8 to 6 votes, the Ethics Committee of SYRIZA-PS rejected the request of Themis Moumoulidis for the deletion of Stefanos Kasselakis.
In particular, the majority of the body decided to put the case on file without examining it on its merits.
It is noted that during the meeting of the SYRIZA Central Committee, the reactions against Stefanos Kasselakis escalated on the occasion of his statements about “participation in collusion” with the former SYRIZA MP, Themis Moumoulidis, to refer him to the ethics committee of the party with the question of deletion for substitute and anti-party behavior, but also for reasons of moral order.
The main elements of Mr. Moumoulidis’ complaint:
- “At the first meeting of the K.E. after his election, in his introductory speech (Saturday 11/11/2023) he called 1/3 of the House members “fifth phalanx” leading them to the exit. In other words, a few days after his election, he broke with “Kalimera”.
- In his public speech, he expressed personal opinions, completely contrary to the elaborated and voted positions of the party (e.g. remuneration of employees with stock options, “state” the pseudo-state, “modern Holy Alliance” the NATO).
- He presented his personal life in terms of lifestyle, his villas around the world, the perception of “I’m doing it for you” with the statement: “and if I never work I have a lot of money to live on” [!!!].
- Presenting on television the recently purchased house in Kolonaki (for 1.8 million without repairs) he defiantly declared: “every Greek’s dream is to put his head under a roof tile” [!!!] at a time when first home auctions have become a scourge and the cost of renting a home even in deprived working class areas has soared to prohibitive heights for simple living.
- He claims (even now) that with his personal money the employees of AUGIS and STO KOKKINO were paid the Christmas Gift and the salary for the month of December 2023 when on the same day he paid the loan the corresponding amount was paid by the party and immediately returned to him ( charging the party fund with 5,520 euros in loan contract stamp duty).
- He accused the historic leader and former prime minister of being an “underminer” in a late-night post on social media.
- He accused the party (and Alexis Tsipras) of corruption stating: “my SYRIZA will never take black money”, implying that there has been another (Tsipras’s) SYRIZA that has taken “black money”.
- From the stage of the conference in February 2023, creating an incendiary atmosphere, he incited the attendees (congressors and observers) to denounce the executives who disagreed with him by pointing to the “enemies”: “look at those in the first row who do not applaud and do not stand up (! !!) Admiral Apostolaki, you are an exception”.
- Leaked that behind the text of the 87 members of the internal opposition is Alexis Tsipras
- Today, the mechanism of “friends” and followers that accompanies Stefanos Kasselakis on his informal tours, as a simple member of the SYRIZA PS, unleashes in OM meetings and on social media, a “character assassination” campaign for Alexis Tsipras and the 87 (after 100) executives of the KE who signed the text of disagreement with the choices of the Kasselakis presidency, questioning the decision of the KE.
- The same “entourage” crudely leaked that the former prime minister has not contributed to the fundraiser to support the media of the party which is on the verge of bankruptcy.
- By his personal decision, he suddenly changed the representation of K.O. dividing it, while up until then it had been functioning in the parliament unanimously, fully competently and absolutely efficiently.
- He led K.E. in division by refusing to lead the party to elections from the grassroots, arrogantly repeating: “impeach me”.
- After his dismissal as President (8/9/2024) he called from the floor of the K.E. that he was allowed to refer to those who voted for the censure (2/3 of the K.E.) as “hoodies”.
- Three days after his impeachment, he tried to regain his position by questioning the legality of the process he himself caused and then spoke of “diversion”, in an attempt to maintain the explosive atmosphere.
- The questioning of the legal decision of the KE continues. Organized fans and followers of Stefanos Kasselakis have created a faction within SYRIZA, ignoring the consequences of an unprecedented violent and vulgar behavior.
- At the same time, the ordinary member of SYRIZA PS, Stefanos Kasselakis, in his message, proving that he “did not understand anything”, talks about “our SYRIZA”, surrounded by “new-zealous” members, of a well-known right-wing ideological path, who behave as its successors of the history of the Left in Greece, characterizing historical members of SYRIZA as “persons of Juntic perception”.[!!!] ».
