The reason for the fight was the position of Aris Spiliotopoulos on the competences of the Congress and the movements of the majority of the “87”
A fierce fight took place on the televised air about what would happen at his conference SYRIZA which starts on Friday and for the process of electing delegates last weekend in between Apostolos Gletsos and his Ari Spiliotopoulou.
Mr. Spiliotopoulos argued that if the “87” consider that they have the majority, then there is no reason for any committee to legitimize delegates and no crisara to operate “and from the moment they have the upper hand, they will democratically decide, by majority, to exclude Kasselakis if that can happen in a democratic party. If they have the majority, they may proceed with the paradox that for the first time the Left will exclude nominations, even of an elected president. They will thus become case studies for political science students.”
“So come to the conference, no problem, come dear comrades to the conference. The only bell that I will ring and draw attention to the Athens prosecutor’s office because there are recorded statements and we have them either directly or obliquely, to induce some things to be done by Mr. Kasselakis who will be the moral author for everything what happen
When he says that democracy is being destroyed and his own people are unhappy and will show it at the conference, what else can I mean beyond the obvious” was the answer of Apostolos Gletsos who once again asked for “protection from the police. To protect the space and all of us. We will be many in number in a space which, if something is done, people may be trampled.”
Then the tones rose when Aris Spiliotopoulos developed the position that “the Central Committee through the statute recommends” with Apostolos Gletsos answering “what do you say, who told you this?” for the following dialogue to follow
–Spiliotopoulos: Article 20 paragraph 1 and 2 states that the congress is the highest body. Obviously, the KE has the possibility to make a recommendation
–Glacier: What you say is not on the agenda
–Spiliotopoulos: What you say is not true
–Glacier: And why does yours apply? Is there an agenda, are you going to drive us crazy Mr. Spiliotopoulos? You will make your own laws
