Against the proposal that Harilaou Trikoupi will submit tomorrow to recognize the Palestinians as a state, broke out between PASOK And SYRIZA, further increasing the tension between the two opposition parties.

As announced by PASOK, a letter from PASOK President Nikos Androulakis is submitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives tomorrow, requesting a special meeting to update and confirm the content of its unanimous resolution as of 22.12.2015 by the Hellenic Resolution (Special Decision). Possible diplomatic effort to immediately launch direct peace talks.

This initiative was also announced by Nikos Androulakis At the plenary session before the interruption of work on July 31, when he had stated:

“As soon as the House opens to confirm and update the unanimous resolution of the Hellenic Parliament, the 2015 resolution. Pure words, gentlemen of New Democracy. And shortly thereafter, we take initiatives to recognize the Palestinian state, as part of the solution of the two states, as do the resolutions of the United Nations. The only fair, the only viable solution for the peaceful coexistence of peoples in this long -awaited area. It is the only way for our country to leave a frame of depreciation, which has been responsible for the prime minister. “

SYRIZA’s reaction

PASOK’s move caused the reaction of SYRIZAsources whose attack on Harilaou Trikoupi, arguing:

“Last Thursday, SYRIZA – MS President Socrates Famellos took the initiative of a joint action of the progressive opposition parties to end Israel’s invasion of Gaza, to impose sanctions on Israel and to recognize Greece. The President of the New Left, Alexis Haritsis and the President of the Freedom Failure, Zoe Konstantopoulou and the KKE reiterated the existing statement of the 4 parties on Palestine.

Mr. Androulakis was the only political leader who did not even respond to Socrates Famellou’s communication with an excuse for his tour of Achaia.

Today it announces that it is taking its own initiative to update the 2015 Parliament’s decision, a decision that is anyway. And it does not require the recognition of the Palestinian state by the government, which is today the only issue. As for the imposition of sanctions on Israel, it does not mention anything.

Once again, Mr. Androulakis moves alone and isolated, breaks the front of the progressive opposition. Something that makes it easier for the Mitsotakis government. But on the issue of Palestine, such small -party games do not fit. “
