The majority of the Central Organizing Committee of the Conference (KOES), the members of the body close to the Stefanos Kasselakis.

In a statement they issued, they state:

“During today’s meeting of the CET, the opposition to the democratic will of the members escalated. By decision of the current majority of the CEEC, the exclusion is sought, not just of individual delegates, but even of the entire O.M. and N.E, who dare to have and express a different opinion from the decisions of the Central Committee and the P.G. This is a direct violation of the competences of the Ethics Committee and is a prelude to the anti-democratic and substitutive conditions of the Congress, desperately seeking to alter its composition and thus control its decisions. However, the river does not turn back. We refer the issue to the Ethics Committee and call on all members of SYRIZA – PS to participate in the electoral process.”

The statement is signed by the members of the KOES: Giannis Voulgarakis, Kaludioti Maria, Kafantari Chara, Kasimati Nina, Moraitis Thanos, Dzimanis Giorgos, Papaioannou Giannis, Tzakri Theodora.

The KOES circular that caused the reaction of the members states: “The Delegate Legitimation Committee that announces the delegates and the runners-up operates on the basis of the decisions of the K.E. According to the decision of K.E. of October 12, 2024, hurling accusations of involvement, diversion, hoodlums, coups, junta, etc., are absolutely reprehensible phenomena and these behaviors are not consistent with member behaviors. They damage the image and credibility of the party, they create a climate of disappointment and disgust, while they are in absolute mismatch with the needs of society. The faithful observance of the Circulars of K.O.E.S. (as a single guiding center for the conduct of the conference) and therefore the faithful application of the Regulations for the Election of Conferences is mandatory and uniform for all O.M. In this sense, the organizational rules for conducting all the procedures at all stages up to the holding of the upcoming extraordinary conference are common to the OMs, and are a necessary condition for participation in the Conference”.

With the circular, the Kasselakis side estimates, an attempt is being made to block the delegates who support the former president of the party, in order to form the majority of the Congress.
