“Immediately applicable and irreversible” characterizes the SYRIZAin today’s announcement, the Central Committee’s decision to exclude him Stefanou Kasselakis from the race for the party presidency.

“The decision of the Central Committee of Saturday 12/10/2024 was taken by an overwhelming majority. The body met with an established quorum, despite substitute and inadmissible actions, which proved unsuccessful. His decision concerns Mr. Kasselakis and is immediately applicable and irrevocable,” SYRIZA underlines in the said announcement.

Earlier with Stefanos Kasselakis posted on Facebook went on the counterattack, calling on citizens to register by October 24, so they could vote for congressmen. “Let’s fill SYRIZA with thousands #I’m_here” he says characteristically.

“The minority of the members of a body prohibited the legally elected president of the party from running again (…) You already know that a handful of people are capable of everything. If they see that they cannot win the conference, they will postpone it again. But even the mechanisms have their limits (…) I ask you to become a shield of Democracy. If you are a left-wing and progressive citizen and are not a member of SYRIZA already, register immediately, until October 24th, to be able to vote for delegates. Let’s fill SYRIZA with thousands of #Iam_here”.

“It would be an easy solution to run away, but I invite you to the difficult: to win back the dignity of the democratic faction. She does not deserve this humiliation (…) Take SYRIZA into your hands. At the Congress, Democracy Strikes Back” he adds in his post.
