Pavlos Polakis commented on the departure of Evangelos Apostolakis from SYRIZA.

“Slowly, slowly, the puzzle of apostasy is being completed. All those who accused SYRIZA of a lack of democracy, all those who spoke of regime practices, all those who accused us of a coup, I wonder what they are thinking today”he wrote in a Facebook post and added:

“In the case of Admiral Apostolakis, they cannot even claim that he was elected with personal crosses, since he was elected due to Alexis’ decision to place him in an electable position on the regional ballot. And while he criticizes us for democratic practices with his announcement, he decided, probably in the name of democracy, to take the seat home. Every day that passes, the conspiracy plan to liquidate SYRIZA becomes more and more obvious and the protagonists of this effort become more and more ruthless. Rest assured, all of you: the fiercer you fight us, the more stubborn you are. SYRIZA is here, it is UNITED and soon it will be even STRONGER”

At the same time, in Apostolaki’s announcement, on his Facebook account, Pavlos Polakis also commented: “Too bad Admiral. Very soon you will regret it, but it will be too late. Neither Kasselakis will walk, nor PASOK-KINAL will be resurrected.”
