In her letter to the secretary of New Democracy Maria SyregelaMs. Papoutsi Mitta reports that “with this letter I have to give you some of my personal opinions and concerns and to request my removal as a member of New Democracy. I have been an active member of the faction in the prefecture of Kavala for years, always participating in every call of the faction without hindsight and personal calculations. I always declared PRESENT at every call of the Faction and its Presidents, entering into difficult electoral battles when others did not wish to because they knew the result. In the dual national elections of 2015 with 4 incumbent MPs, I accepted the leadership’s proposal to be a candidate for MP, the only woman on the ND ballot. in the prefecture of Kavala, when no one wanted to be a candidate because we knew that only one member of parliament would be elected from the faction, as it happened”.
“The decision taken to remove the former Prime Minister is unthinkable”
At the same time, he adds that “In the 2019 national elections, I applied to be a candidate for parliament knowing in advance the election result. I was elected twice as a member of the Political Committee of the New Democracy. In the internal party elections 2015-2016 for the nomination of the President of New Democracy I supported the candidacy of Kyriakos Mitsotakis with interviews and public interventions. My fellow citizens and the journalists of Kavala are very well aware of the fight I fought for Kyriakos Mitsotakis to become President of New Democracy and then Prime Minister of the country. I know very well the decision of Antonis Samaras and how much it helped in the election of Kyriakos Mitsotakis as President of the faction and later as Prime Minister. Therefore, it is unthinkable for me the decision taken to delete the former Prime Minister and President Antonis Samaras, whose views on national issues are TIMELESS, STABLE, KNOWN and RESPECTED by all New Democrats and notonly”.
“The New Democrats do not tolerate any games being played behind the scenes”
It also states that “You forgot that the New Democrats are loyal to the values, principles, ideas and visions of the New Democracy and that they do not tolerate any games being played behind the scenes. Unfortunately, the incorrect political recipe that the party followed resulted in it mutating into a party WITHOUT ideological principles, a party that has now cut off from Society and the daily problems that plague our fellow citizens, with the main issue being accuracy. We recently saw the results of the wrong policy in the European elections of June 2024 where New Democracy lost 12 percentage points and its course of deterioration is irreversible.”
“Former Prime Ministers are not deleted”
Finally, Vaso Papoutsi-Mitta emphasizes that “today an unnecessary and unwarranted deletion of a former Prime Minister and President of the party will DEFINITELY cost more shrinking. Because the former Prime Ministers are not written off, they must and have an obligation to speak their opinions freely and be judged by history. Why is a historical figure not deleted for his views and ideas that are identified with the base of the faction because then you delete the base itself. Because the New Democracy is neither multicultural, nor the Woke movement, nor does it follow a foreign policy that is appeasing and docile. I believe that I cannot belong to this New Republic and I request my removal from its membership. Sincerely, VASO PAUTSI – MITTA Mr. ND MP candidate. prefecture of Kavala, (National Elections 2015) p. Candidate for Member of Parliament N.D. Prefecture of Kavala, (National Elections 2019) p.. Member of the Political Committee of New Democracy (2 times elected)”.
