We do not legitimize procedures, attitudes and decisions, which trivialize us as persons and our Party.
In the only topic of the day’s discussion that concerned the Mass Media of SYRIZA-PS, no proposal of the President and no proposal of sustainability was given, while it is continued even by the members of the P.G. the concealment of details surrounding the party’s finances, despite an increase in expenses over the last year.
Despite the President’s personal commitment to provide data on the number of employees, salaries and time of recruitment to the party, the media and the Poulantzas Foundation, not only was nothing given, but today there was no information and no information, to the formally and effectively responsible body party. The leadership of the party should have given this information even to the members of the K.E. , according to the statute. The refusal to provide financial information to P.G. it means a lot for the rules imposed on New SYRIZA, which only the left does not express.
And while the media workers of SYRIZA-PS have not been paid, neither their salaries nor their allowances, the party’s leadership is asking, without submitting a proposal, for a blank check.
Statements that show that a separatist plan is underway are at least reprehensible and foreign to our area, and the leadership must take a clear position.
The implementation of decisions and the subsequent attempt to receive a blank check from the leadership of the party acts in the direction of discrediting our party and also reducing the trust between us.
It is unacceptable today in P.G. off the agenda, to raise the issue of the resignation of the elected and the participants in the regional ballot, constantly feeding back the introversion and non-production of politics. Especially when there is a factional operation, with pressure on a number of Prefectural Committees for identical decisions in favor of the resignation of the participants in the regional ballot.
The resignation of the comrade and distinguished scientist Othon Iliopoulos was done for reasons unrelated to his non-institutional report, that he is resigning to hand over to a person of his choice, even if this is the person of the President. SYRIZA-PS is an institutional party and cannot operate outside of what the Constitution, the rules of the Parliament and our statutes stipulate, leaving members of the state ballot to be slandered and targeted. The leadership of the party has an obligation to preserve unity and not to allow initiatives to act divisively at all party levels.
The continuation of introversion and character assassination for whatever reason, the only thing they serve is the Mitsotakis government and the maintenance.
We cannot legitimize this tactic and these decisions without the suggestion of the SYRIZA-PS leadership, without respecting the statute and the standing principles and values of our party.
Leadership issue from Polakis
Earlier, the issue of leadership in the party was raised by Pavlos Polakis, who mentioned how the leadership must change and that he will contribute in this direction.
He emphasized that “a program and a large progressive alliance is needed”, and then noted that “the current leadership cannot”.
The answer of Stefanos Kasselakis was immediate. According to information, the president of the party is reported to have said “I don’t pick up the gauntlet, anyone who wants to censure the KE”.
