Fearing a low turnout after the latest developments, the four candidates will address their voters
During today’s meeting, the representatives of the SYRIZA presidential candidates agreed to hold a debate, as well as the terms and details under which the debate will be held.
As far as the date of the telefight is concerned, it will be decided in consultation with ERT, with the information, however, mentioning November 18 or 19 as more likely.
In addition, it was announced that tomorrow at 15.00 the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA-PS will meet for the first time after the conference and the departure of Stefanos Kasselakis.
In Koumoundourou, it seems that they appreciate that the impact and discussion that followed the PASOK debate contributed positively to the promotion of Harilaou Trikoupi’s intra-party process, especially regarding the participation.
Therefore, under the fear of low turnout after the latest developments that were the peak of the turmoil that SYRIZA had recently fallen into, the four candidates are seeking to address their voters.
The resignation of Stefanos Kasselakis from the party and the announcement of the establishment of a new one, brought together a number of executives who are close to him and the risk of SYRIZA dropping from the position of official opposition is now visible.
With the loss of just one MP, SYRIZA loses its institutional role, at a time when it is preparing for elections to elect its new president. Both Koumoundourou and Tavros are “weighing” their next moves with the atmosphere between the two camps remaining warlike.
In fact, as everything shows, Koumoundourou’s fight with Stefanos Kasselakis will also be transferred to the courtrooms for the issue of Pothen Esches. The Political Secretariat of SYRIZA will meet to decide how to act in relation to the information it possesses from the Transparency sector, while Stefanos Kasselakis is also aiming to initiate legal proceedings against persons who will dispute the declaration of assets he has submitted.
