Gerovasilis: The “how Tsipras – Kasselakis were elected” and Spirtzis’ “Kougi” – 2024-02-28 10:36:57

Stefanos Kasselakis asked for an opponent for the presidency of SYRIZA. And they found him. It will be Olga Gerovasili. He then proposed an election on March 10. On the contrary, here it is certain that there will be serious disagreement and possibly new friction. Because the opposing camp demands strict adherence to the statute.

The candidate president rejects the fast track procedures and does not negotiate anything other than the prescribed ones. “The elections must be held in at least a month” responded in a discussion that Mrs. Gerovasili had with journalists shortly before leaving the Congress, noting at the same time that she will not consent to anything other than what is foreseen.

“As Alexis Tsipras and Stefanos Kasselakis were elected. There can be no other decision,” he said characteristically, speaking of open procedures and exclusively a ballot box – not a hybrid vote.

Accordingly, he had been placed a little earlier and Christos Spirtzis, who had already officially supported the candidacy of Olga Gerovasilis. He even warned that “it’s going to be Coogee” in case there is an attempt to subvert what is in force.

However, the former minister did not appear opposed to a hybrid form of voting, if the resources are found because “I don’t have money”, as long as absolute transparency, immutability and identity are ensured.

Could there be a cancellation of procedures?

Of course, in order for all the procedures to proceed, the election must first be announced. And this is still not at all certain while the decision of the Congress is pending on the resolution for their annulment.

“It is the right of the Conference” claimed Olga Gerovasili about the collection of signatures from delegates, awaiting the outcome herself. That is why he refused to position himself on the two scenarios: approval or rejection.

What Olga Gerovasili does not negotiate is her presence in SYRIZA, regardless of the outcome of the processes that will mediate. “I have given my life for the self-evident,” he also replied. As for whether there will be a new intervention by Alexis Tsipras, he declared ignorance.
