The issue of Christos Spirtzis was postponed until Thursday.
The Ethics Committee will once again send him a letter (the third) asking him to apologize for the accusations leveled against him by 70 members of SYRIZA that he is undermining Stefanos Kasselakis and the party.
If he doesn’t, a decision will be made on Thursday…
The extension is given, as documentonews.gr is aware, the penalty under consideration is particularly severe…
It is reminded that if the Committee decides to suspend or delete a member, this must be approved by the Central Committee.
The decision of the Ethics Committee:
“Athens 3/9/2024
Comrade H. Spirtzis,
On July 11, 2024, the Ethics Committee of SYRIZA-PS sent you a complaint against you from 70 members and executives of the party, which included fourteen taped interventions of yours over a period of 17 days in various media and asked you for your explanations within a reasonable period of time, oral or written. The permanent and exclusive objective of the ED is to investigate compliance with the statute and to safeguard the prestige of the party from the behaviors and practices of those who are members of SYRIZA. In this context, the ED handled the case with absolute respect for an executive of the K.E. member party. On the contrary, instead of responding by respecting the institution and the process, you displayed behavior inappropriate for an executive, in the context of which you made new public positions attacking the party and the institution, a fact that obliged the ED to impose the penalty of reprimand on you on 6/8 /2024.
At the same time, he gave you a new deadline, which he extended until September 3rd, a total of 54 days after the start of the process.
However, instead of the expected explanations, you chose again, with a letter you sent to ED, to make attacks and baseless accusations against her.
This letter was at the same time given to the media, violating any concept of confidentiality, as defined by the statute and the code of conduct and causing the well-known noise and comments, in which you were quick to take the lead yourself, to the detriment of the party in view of the crucial meeting of the Central Committee.
Following the above, the ED at the meeting of September 3, 2024 decided the following:
1. Your entire behavior and practice, contrary to the respect and institutional practice of the ED, constitutes instrumentalization of the process to appear in the media and continue the attacks against the party.
Your letter is returned as unacceptable.
And of course, your unfounded, unsupported and insulting to the body itself and to the members that make up your accusations and accusations about alleged pressures and preconceived decisions, as well as your suggestions regarding the operation of the ED and the handling of competence cases are rejected her.
2. In the context of unity and camaraderie, exhausting every opportunity, invites you for the third and last time to respect the institution of the E.D. and to come to a meeting with the three-member committee, on Thursday, September 5, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. offices of the Ethics Committee in order to give your explanations.
We want and believe that this time you will respond to the invitation of the Ethics Committee. Your responsibility belongs to the whole. In any case, the Ethics Committee will make its final decision after examining all the data.”
