The atmosphere in SYRIZA remains conflicted against the background of the extraordinary congress and the presidential elections in November. After the extrajudicial Kasselakis, which caused seismic tremors in SYRIZA fires, the proposal of Olga Gerovasilis for the removal of Kasselakis, requesting the immediate convening of the Central Committee, in order to take the relevant decision.
On the edge of Kasselakis – SYRIZA
The Kasselakis – Koumoundourou dispute now acquires a legal dimension after the extrajudicial letter sent to the Political Secretariat and the Central Committee by the former president. The latter cited a leak of the “where did you come from” that he submitted in his candidacy file for the leadership and reserved himself for further action.
“Although I have nothing to hide, but because this is a very serious leak and indeed a selective one, at an illegal time, since it does not seem that the statement about any other co-candidate was leaked before it was even checked and approved and because the leak was apparently made by the SYRIZA PS, I declare to you that I will resort to every legal means to protect my personality individually and as President of the SYRIZA PS, the prestige of the SYRIZA PS but also the personality of the thousands of members of the SYRIZA PS”, he states among other things in the text.
It is recalled that earlier Stefanos Kasselakis requested the resignation of SYRIZA Secretary Rania Svigos, assigning her the main responsibility for not ensuring the protection of the personal data of the candidates.
According to information, an announcement on the matter will be issued by the Political Secretariat, which is meeting today at noon.
What does Koumoundourou answer?
Koumundourou sources reply that the files have not been opened and that no leak has taken place.
The statement of Manolis Kapnisakis
It was preceded by a statement by the manager of Stefanos Kasselakis’ office, Manolis Kapnisakis, in which, among other things, it is pointed out that “Stefanos Kasselakis is now forced to seriously consider the possibility of going to court to defend his rights”.
The entire statement
It is unacceptable and reprehensible that the presidium of the Central Committee of SYRIZA violated the personal data of Stefanos Kasselakis, by publishing information about his whereabouts. This kind of leak, beyond the ethical dimension, raises serious questions about the protection of personal data and transparency, values that the party is supposed to stand for.
We demand the immediate resignation of the secretary of the party, Rania Svigou, who bears the main responsibility for ensuring the protection of personal data of the candidates.
Stefanos Kasselakis is now forced to seriously consider the possibility of going to court to defend his rights.
Besides, the fact that the leak happened on the same day as the meeting of the Political Secretariat is not a random event or a simple coincidence…
It is noted that Stefanos Kasselakis filed the declaration of where he came from for the fiscal year up to 24/9/2023 (the date of acquisition of the position of President of SYRIZA), while all the other candidates filed or will file declarations for the fiscal year 2021, given that the relevant platform for the electronic submission of returns for the following years still remains closed for all liable persons.
It must also be clarified that Tyler Macbeth, even though he was not legally obliged, as in September 2023 his marriage to Stefanos Kasselakis had not yet been consummated, he nevertheless submitted an initial statement of his affiliation. If it is requested by anyone with a legal interest, it will be provided with the risk that it will also be illegally leaked.
In conclusion and given that all the information included in Stefanos Kasselakis’ declaration of where he is from is accurate, true and fully documented by a number of documents, we would recommend to those who “invested” in the ND’s pre-election narrative about where he is from, to change course because are irreparably exposed…
