His letter in detail

“Niko Pappa
Mr President,
The recent developments deeply sadden me, as does every progressive citizen in our country.
It is imperative that I express my opposition to choices and behaviors that have irreparably injured the unity and values ​​of the progressive movement. Unfortunately, the past two months have been a time of intense division and frustration for our members, delegates, and the Left and progressive world, culminating in the travesty convention that damaged our credibility.

I cannot continue to serve in a position of responsibility, working with people who overlook the most precious legacy of the progressive space: collectivity and respect for Democracy. Indifference to our values ​​and ethics cannot be tolerated.
Therefore, I decide to resign from the position of director of the Parliamentary Group of SYRIZA PS.
I would like to thank the Members of Parliament and the staff of the KO secretariat for our cooperation at a critical time for all of us.
In these extremely difficult times for the future of democracy and the progressive party, I choose to remain true to the values ​​with which I have walked my entire political journey.

*Sincerely,
Thanos Moraitis”
