Responses to the aftermath of the 4 debate on his presidency SYRIZA gave the MEP and presidential candidate Nikos Farandourisspeaking Friday morning on his television .

“I received a question from my dear Pavlos Polakis to stay in the European Parliament better and I reminded him that I have some years in the races in the Parliament, in the mono-seat of Kefalonia, in the parliamentary and European elections. My views have been the same for 20 years, I have been in the political life of the country for over 10 years. But he brought a man in his summer clothes last year who went in October to get his winter clothes from America and you told us that he is the ideal president without having seen him even once in your life. So, a seriousness is needed in the elections from now on. Those who go to the ballot box, must weigh who has the acumen, maturity and seriousness to lead this party”, initially pointed out Mr. Faradouris.

“An advantage of being an MEP if elected – Kasselakis took a 2-month vacation, when we lost him, when we found him”

At the same time, regarding his simultaneous presence in the European Parliament, he described as an “advantage” in this difficult situation for SYRIZA, noting that those who are being anointed for the highest positions in their country are currently active MEPs. “For example, the next prime minister of Hungary against the far-right Orban will be either the center-right Magyar or my social democrat colleague MEP. So in the position of MEP you gain prestige for your area and for your country, because you are at the center of decision-making”.

Then, referring again to the rest of his co-candidates, he stated that none of them has a serious counter-proposal for the future of SYRIZA. “When you prioritize such an undertaking, it must be a life goal and not go on vacation for 2 months and then come back and say “here I am again”, like the former president Stefanos Kasselakiswhom others had already brought. When you undertake to rebuild a party in Tartarus, then you make it your life’s purpose. As for him Socrates FamelloI asked him directly about a statutory conference for the purpose of reconstruction and I did not get an answer. It is a mistake that Socrates is running for president, he has no proposals and advocates a balancing logic.”
