I don’t know why many fell from the clouds after the announcement of the resignation of Alexis Tsipras from the leadership of SYRIZA…
But I have the impression that from his speech on election Sunday night his decision to end the cycle he started 15 years ago as SYRIZA leader was obvious.
In fact, I had discussed this with some friends who nevertheless followed the interpretation of the central channels.
About the opposite.
He didn’t have time
Because in my opinion his resignation was the only way.
They had even analyzed it indirectly.
Not for the resignation of Tsipras, but for the long-term introversion of SYRIZA.
Saying that until the European elections that will be held in a year to show that the descent of SYRIZA has stopped, half the time will be spent in internal party procedures and in the self-governing elections.
So it will hardly have time to renew itself and show a new face.
A person who could inspire the voter to vote for SYRIZA again
Resignation is the only way
All this was known to Alexis who preferred to leave now before the party he would lead would suffer another major defeat in a year.
It is also known to Tsipras that once a party takes it the downhill is hard to stop.
So why and for what reason should he continue to be at the helm of a sinking ship?
What else is left?
The resignation.
Resignation under pretext
And little by little, Alexis was finding a reason to justify his decision.
So he said that he cannot be the leader of the party himself when he is the one who is asking for renewal from top to bottom…
I don’t think that’s it.
Alexis simply followed the practice of his political friend Costas Karamanlis.
You remember what he did once the economy blew up in his hands.
He preferred to bankrupt Greece through the run and through elections.
The hot potato was left in the hands of George Papandreou, with the result that no one blames the main person responsible for the bankruptcy. Karamanlis.
Not even Tsipras himself if you remember correctly.
He is proud
In his statements about his departure from the leadership of the party, Tsipras stated that he is proud of what this party as a government has done for the country.
You listen to him and you go crazy.
And you wonder: Why exactly is a prime minister proud who:
He became prime minister by lying to the Greek people.
He became prime minister by reversing the will of the Greek people in the case of the referendum.
You have become the prime minister of a third and unnecessary memorandum.
Then he targeted his political opponents, he set up such a shameless competition for TV licenses, he targeted journalists, mass media, he set up the Novartis scandal, he basically acquitted the chief terrorist of “November 17” Koufontina and countless others.
The orphans of PASOK
And in the middle the orphans (now) of PASOK.
With Marilisa crying at the announcement of Tsipras’ intentions to resign, according to Athens journalists…
And because I believe that indeed Alexis was the main reason for their relocation from PASOK to SYRIZA…
Now I am curious to see what all these political opportunists will do being orphaned by a political leader.
Because he was there thanks to Tsipras.
Because they were never accepted as equals.
Son-in-laws brought them up, sons-in-law brought them down.
There is a proposal
Well I think I have a suggestion for them.
To put down their own pasochogen candidate for the leadership of SYRIZA to formalize their trend in the new internal political reality of the collapsing party.
Let’s say Ragousis is a candidate for the leadership.
As he had claimed the leadership of PASOK but he did not remember it.
(With such a small percentage that he had received, that he remembers that he was a candidate).
Of the 170,000 members of SYRIZA, most are former pasokos.
So they have a pool of votes.
Do it because…
The Syrians of Paso family should definitely do it.
Otherwise they are out of hand.
Their switch to SYRIZA was thanks to Tsipras and as a success of Tsipras.
So they were considered protégés of Tsipras all these years.
Now that Alexis will be looking at the political developments as another buffoon from the mountain towers of the parliament…
They will have been orphaned.
And in any case, the renewal to the left will be done by SYRIZA with pasoko within its ranks.
With Jumaka where to go bro…
