“It’s really I would say unprecedented, ridiculous, farce. Joke; It’s ridiculous that they don’t let me lose”, said Stefanos Kasselakis in his greeting during the meeting he had with the coordinators of the OM of A’ Thessaloniki, in the morning, at Lefko Pyrgos.

He claimed that they fear that “if they let us get to the end, you will have the power in your hands. You will be able to decide for each and every one of us. And obviously that’s going to piss off a lot of people.”

He said that “it is not only a question of changes in the party that are necessary” but “also a question of democracy now”.

“Whatever pressure you receive from others, all they have to offer is hatred towards me and no political proposal for either the country or the party. You ignore them. Dust them off. Get organized. Bring in new people. You will get the conference. And if they don’t do the conference, we will go to grassroots initiatives,” he said. He added that “the answer to the lack of democracy is never to run away. Running away means they will have won’ and that ‘the answer is more democracy’.

“We are here, we will organize and the answer will be given” said Mr. Kasselakis among others. He added that “legality will be respected” and “we will be able to take SYRIZA from where they brought it down and bring it back to where it was. What Alexis started and along the way he left and left…”.
