The former president of PASOK and Prime Minister George Papandreou expresses his annoyance for articles that are directed against the popular momentum of the Movement for Change, but also against him, with Mr. Papandreou even talking about interventions in the internal party electoral process.
“The president of the Movement for Change will be elected by the Democrats and progressive citizens, the friends and members of our party and not by anyone else,” said a statement from the Office of George Papandreou. The reason for this announcement are publications and articles, which, according to the staff of the former prime minister, question the popular rise of the Movement for Change as a whole and strongly criticize him.
The announcement characteristically states that “in the last period, the cases of interventions in the internal party electoral process of the Movement for Change have multiplied, not only from extra-institutional and other centers, but also from right-wing elements”.
It is also emphasized that “with these interventions, which vary in the way they manifest themselves, whether they are directed against members of our party and especially against George A. Papandreou, as they see that their own interests and the interests of other parties are not satisfied, or they are shooting their arrows at our party as a whole. “
The announcement points out that the specific publications “attempt to cultivate the view that the rise shown by the Movement for Change in research is temporary”.
It is also underlined that “the rise of the Movement for Change is not only obvious, but will continue to grow even more, as evidenced by the response and attitude of our fellow citizens to the tours and contacts of the candidates for the presidency of our Movement.”
