Stefanos Kasselakis keeps a clear distance from the prime ministership of Alexis Tsipras and this was clearly seen in the interesting interview he gave on Wednesday night to the main Mega news bulletin and to Rania Tzima and Yannis Pretenderis.
SYRIZA in the Kasselaki era
The interview of its president SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance it was a good opportunity to make it clear that now the official opposition is in the Kasselakis era. His statement that the cycle of 2015-2019 is closed is pivotal for the subsequent course of the party.
Of course, he wanted to convince that there is communication about this and revealed that there was a meeting with Alexis Tsipras after the conference and in the wake of the former Prime Minister’s intervention.
But it is difficult for St. Kasselakis to empty Nikos Pappas and Pavlos Polakis in agreement with Al. Tsipras that there were unfortunate handlings both in the management of the Novartis scandal and in the issue of the television license competition.
Distances from Tsipras politics
But the distance of St. Kasselakis by Al. Tsipras was more evident when the discussion comes to the issue of finances of. There the dividing line is clear with the repudiation of the law of the period of the SYRIZA – ANEL government.
“This law was created so that Greek politicians don’t bring black people out, not to bring white people in. Kyriakos Mitsotakis had five years to change this law he had accused,” he said and added: “The law was obviously wrong. If they call me to give an explanation, I will do it in court.”
It will be of particular interest how he will proceed from here on in relation to the former president of the party who does not show tendencies of political separation with what this means for the future in the wider area.
Even the reference by Polakis and many others about the recent Kasselakis proposals on accuracy and taxation that they were the most left-wing heard in the last 30 years says a lot about how the Tsipras presidency is treated in some places.
