A few hours after the announcement of the decision of the Political Secretariat which excluded Stefanos Kasselakis from the elections, circles of the deposed president insist that he will normally be a candidate.
“Stefanos Kasselakis will be a candidate for President” they explain features and refer to any developments at the conference. In fact, they talk about “restoring democracy”.
“As much as the opportunistic majority in the Political Secretariat insists, the congress was and remains the highest body and the only one competent to decide on the nominations for the presidency”highlight features.
We remind you that during the meeting of the Political Secretariat, the close associate of Stefanos Kasselakis, Theodora Tzakri, had raised many questions about the way the conference was conducted.
A direct attack on the Political Secretariat
A little later the Stefanos Kasselakis with his post he attacked its members Political Secretariat. The ousted president spoke of the fear of its members and responds to what its decision mentions.
“Today the Political Secretariat again-again-excluded me from being a candidate for the Presidency of SYRIZA-PS. I wonder how many times they will have to exclude me in order to calm down the “fear” (as a party executive said in a televised appearance yesterday) caused by my candidacy.
It’s the fear because incumbent MPs will need to go through primaries to be re-nominated. It is the fear because there will be incompatibility between a member of the Central Committee and a salaried employee of the party (transferees, seconded, etc.).
But mainly it is fear because the base will have the reason for everything. And the base will bring forth new faces from society and not from the party bureaucracy. Such will be the executives of tomorrow. They invoke the office rental as my… vicarious act.
Where will a candidate who was ousted from office vicariously overnight run his election campaign? They call for site creation! “Our SYRIZA” this year is substitute and forbids me to be a candidate.
But last year’s site “SYRIZA reconstruction now” was statutory and allowed me to be a candidate. Fortunately, what for a small group cut off from society is Fear, for thousands of progressive citizens and SYRIZA voters is Hope. There will be more tricks up their sleeve in their competitive bid for final elimination.
They are capable of everything. We are capable of one thing: More Democracy. After all, that’s what they fear. First stop: The congressional election this weekend. Let’s all be at the polls. A huge wave of Democracy that will sweep the mechanisms. Because the Congress is the only one competent to decide who will be candidates in the elections for President. Because the Congress is our voice.”
