“We begin with a big apology for the inconvenience suffered by all comrades, from the gathering outside the conference area at Gazi Live, people who were not delegates and thus the process was delayed”, said the president of the presidium Giannis Mazouranis and declared the start of the work of the Extraordinary Congress of SYRIZA.
Several delegates applauded him while others booed him when he said that the procedures democratically decided at the Central Committee meetings were being followed.
“Shame, you’ve put people in the other room. The others are outside. You are not leftists and democrats”, shouted the delegates who support Stefanos Kasselakis.
Manzouranis said that the delegates are 4,282 and added that according to the party’s Statute, the extraordinary congress has all the powers of the regular one. He reminded that the Central Committee that made the decisions was elected by the base of the party on the same day that Alexis Tsipras was previously elected.
