The meeting of the Political Secretariat developed on Wednesday afternoon with an exchange of fire between the secretaries and vice-secretaries, in a climate of polarization over the issue of the election results and the final list of delegates for the congress.
An intense dialogue took place, among others, between two SYRIZA-PS parliamentarians, Theodora Tzakris, a close associate of Stefanos Kasselakis, and Olga Gerovasilis, one of the top executives of the majority of 87+.
Gerovasili and Tzakri
According to sources from the majority, the tension was caused when Theodora Tzakri addressed the majority officials addressing “you bureaucracy who are the leadership of the party”.
Then Olga Gerovasili contradicted her: “You who are a member of the same body, are you or are you not a bureaucracy?”. For Olga Gerovasili to add, addressing Theodora Tzakri again: “I am informing you, since you claim to be a member of the elected PG like us, that you have no right to target all of us horizontally nor to insult and also target the elected secretary of the party and Eleni Symeonidou, also an elected member of the PG. If this could be done institutionally, the first person who should not be a member here is you with all the insults you have unleashed all this time.”
Somewhere at this point, according to other sources, coming from the Kasselakiki side, Theodora Tzakri retorted to Olga Gerovasilis: “and who are you to decide whether I will attend or not? Are you a one-man emergency court-martial?”
“Unity”
At the meeting of the Political Secretariat, the secretary of the Central Committee of SYRIZA-PS Rania Svigou informed that she was contacted by the MP of SYRIZA-PS and candidate for the party’s president Sokratis Famellos and asked to convey the following proposal to the members of the Body:
To hold a meeting between the presidential candidates Apostolos Gletsos, Pavlos Polakis, Sokratis Famellou, Nikolas Farandouris with her and with whatever executives the PG deems, in which the president of KO Nikos Pappas and the head of the Eurogroup Costas Arvanitis will participate. And this according to the proposal of Sokratis Famellos with the aim, “to declare the unity and protection of the party in the attack it receives and to find a way out that we will all serve together in the future…”.
It is noted that due to the concern about incidents, it was even proposed that the Extraordinary Congress be held strictly electronically (digitally), a proposal supported, according to information, by Katerina Notopoulou, Aleko Flambourari and Thanasis Theocharopoulos. However, the proposal was not put to a vote.
At 8:30 in the evening, a statement was issued by the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA-PS in which it is stated that the Extraordinary Congress will take place and will constitute a great democratic process, which will lead to the reconstruction and strengthening of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance. In fact, it is noted that “the discrediting of the party is the wish of Mr. Mitsotakis and the centers that stand by his side and against the needs of the people.”
The Political Secretariat clarifies that all the prescribed procedures in relation to the Congress and the nomination of its representatives will be observed, adding that “reports of exclusions are fraudulent”. Also, shots are being fired against the Kasselakis side, stating that “the anti-gatherings, as announced today with public statements, belong, as methods, to the opponents and opponents of the Left”.
The entire announcement of the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA-PS:
“SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance is proceeding in a structured, democratic, decisive manner towards its Extraordinary Congress.
No plan that deviates from the observance of its statutory provisions and the decisions of the Central Committee, no plan that serves dissolution and obsolescence from within, is going to thrive.
The counter-gatherings, as announced today with public statements, belong, as methods, to the opponents and opponents of the Left.
They will not achieve their goal. SYRIZA-PS will protect both the democratic processes and its members and, above all, its history and future.
Don’t hypocritically invoke Democracy in the party, those who created parallel structures, with a register of members and a separate building, sent extrajudicial letters to SYRIZA-PS and its executives, constantly engage in slander and use expressions such as “hoods”, “coup”, etc.
All the prescribed procedures in relation to the Congress and the selection of its representatives will be observed. Reports of bans are fraudulent. Procedures, which apply to each Congress under the responsibility of the Legalization Committee, since, obviously, it is absolutely necessary to control the correct observance of electoral conditions and procedures (such as the equal representation of the sexes, the foreseen number of elected representatives per OM, the observance of the number of preference crosses per ballot, the immutability of the procedure, etc.), as defined by the KOE circulars and the decisions of the Council of Ministers, as well as the examination of relevant objections.
We send a message of determination and cohesion to members, executives and delegates.
The Extraordinary Congress will be and will be a great democratic process, which will lead to the reconstruction and strengthening of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance.
The discrediting of the party is the wish of Mr. Mitsotakis and the centers that stand by his side and against the needs of the people.
The next day will find all of us, through the lines of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, in the defense of social assets, public goods, Democracy.
He will find us in the battle of the necessary progressive change, he will find us guarantors of the implementation of a strong program for the reconstruction of society and the economy”.
