“I will not leave the country,” he clarified Stefanos Kasselakis responding to the accusations of Pavlos Polakis – who said that he will not stay in Greece -, while he announced that within the next few days he will also turn against him in court for what he has said about “where he belongs”.

He added: “SYRIZA has defected from democracy. The actions of the party leadership in the last 10 days are illegal. Of the delegates who excluded, in the variable voting and so on. We have many proofs that we won the conference. We were the only ones who presented numbers… We are talking about a large majority who wanted me to be judged at the ballot box. This party has acted illegally and must be judged accordingly. Those MPs who choose to stay in SYRIZA are legitimizing a coup that took place, the blockade of the base”.

In an interview he gave to Alpha, Stefanos Kasselakis said that the name of the party as well as the founding positions will be decided with the participation of the people who follow him.

However, to a question about where the party will move ideologically, he said that “it will move in the progressive center-left space”. He appeared to appeal to middle-class voters who have become disillusioned with the Mitsotakis administration.

Stick to it “business friendly” party saying that it “means the strengthening of small and medium entrepreneurship” and emphasized the “anti-democratic” of its exclusion, insisting on the complaints against SYRIZA.

Finally, he said that “after a year he is now much wiser”.
