It was not an easy -to -manage the “rain” of the questions that Socrates Famellos received from reporters at a press conference he gave to TIF on Thursday. Especially at a time when the party, according to Opinion Poll poll on behalf of Action24, remains at low rates (4.2% in voting estimate). Without lifting the tones, the president of SYRIZA sent a message to the former prime minister for the first time, and after the agenda he developed on the Economist few do not believe he will take the next step.

“With what Alexis Tsipras has stated, with what I know, with what we have put forward in common framework and what he said in his latest placements, for me it is unthinkable for any discussion of fragmentation or independence, I declare it clearly, it is a valuable capital, a valuable capital, it is a valuable capital for Greece, said the Socrates essentially exorcising the scenarios that have been heard lately.

The SYRIZA president at a press conference has spoken many times about the work and contribution of the former head of Koumoundouros. It is obvious that he did not want to leave any “clouds” in his relationship with the former prime minister. In each answer, he attempted to highlight the importance of SYRIZA’s existence and his role in the progressive space. “I do not remain indifferent to this discussion. The opposite. I took a specific position. And my position is that SYRIZA is a political and social necessity, that no fragmentation is helping … My priority has also been clearly stated that it is the strengthening of SYRIZA, so that it became a catalyst and guarantor of progressive convergence. And yes, for me any other scenario is unthinkable. “

THE Socrates In his answers he stood in the fact that the Alexis Tsipras He has never confirmed the party’s creation scenario and noted that the programmatic framework in which both SYRIZA and the former prime minister are moving. In Koumoundourou MPs and executives have a standby attitude. This is certain that it removes dynamics from the party, as a vast majority thinks its replacement is “baked”. Too many are waiting for the former prime minister to take the first step, without this being not to support and Socrates that brought the party back to politics. Some MPs and executives, however, do not hesitate to post publicly causing an embarrassment in the leadership team.

THE Alexis Tsipras He continues to not open his papers and it is difficult to develop developments before 2026. Answers are not given or if he thinks of doing anything in relation to his seat in the House. His book will be presented towards the end of the year and is considered to be a station for his further movements.
