Abrupt defections vs anti-democratic procedures and statistics in the middle
Against the background of the SYRIZA-PS conference, from the departures of executives and the independence of MPs who support Stefanos Kasselakis to the firing of the majority of Koumoundouros, contradictions arise that also appear in the terminology of the opposing camps. The SYRIZA-PS conference continues until 5 o’clock on Saturday afternoon and the words hit mercilessly and the body of both Koumoundourou and Tavros (where Stefanos Kasselakis will make a speech as the leader of a new party or movement, according to his preference his staff).
The Kasselakis had compared the Committee for the Legitimization of Conferences with committees of social opinions from the darkest pages of the right, while after their departure from the Conference on Friday afternoon (November 8), they again spoke of an anti-democratic stain in the history of the Left. Executives of the majority blasted the Kasselakis and especially those of the deputies who are independent with reports, late in the evening of the first day of the conference, of defections. And when the questions are asked about political content, about the Left, etc., statistics come into play.
Numbers don’t always tell the truth, but they can show an aspect of it. The computers caught fire in the early hours of Saturday (9.11.2024), at the SYRIZA-PS conference, when the result of the electronic voting was announced to approve the decision of the Central Committee according to which in the elections of November 24, 2024 they will contest for the presidency of SYRIZA-PS the “4” (Apostolos Gletsos, Pavlos Polakis, Sokratis Famellos, Nikolas Farandouris). Earlier, the political decision of the conference was approved, the text of which was presented by Marilisa Xenogiannakopoulou. The delegates supporting Stefanos Kasselakis had left the afternoon amidst tension, not accepting to legitimize, as they said, anti-democratic procedures.
Throughout the previous period and after the polls for delegates until today, the supporters of Stefanos Kasselakis and himself have not stopped denouncing the majority for “cooking”, for cutting delegates, for “undemocratic methods of excluding” those they do not like. The 87+, on the other hand, reject them, at the same time accusing Stefanos Kasselakis of questioning everything in every phase of the pre-conference process, not accepting the decisions of the collective bodies of SYRIZA-PS, and had announced another competing party.
When the time came for the president of the conference, Yiannis Mantzouranis, to announce the results of the electronic voting by which the “4” were approved as candidates for the presidency, there was silence. Everyone expected numbers. They voted 3072 of which 2784 in favor, 276 against, 12 white.
Investigations immediately began to establish, even superficially, through this vote, how many delegates supported Stefanos Kasselakis and had left disapproving of the majority, or some of them participated electronically. Thus began the calculations. According to the presidium, 4282 participated in the conference. 3072 voted for the election of “4”, so apparently 1,210 treasurer delegates were missing. If we add the 272 who voted against the nomination of the “4” we reach 1,482. Thus, executives of +87 considered that it became obvious that the supporters of Stefanos Kasselakis did not have the majority of delegates.
However, opposing voices were heard saying that from the beginning the people of Kasselaki complained that it was intended to “cut” 500 of them and from Friday they say that the likes of the majority were added.
Already, however, around midnight, focusing on the 3 independences of MPs (Alexandros Avlonitis, Petros Pappas and Rallia Christidou) that had been announced on the evening of Friday November 8, 2024 (the next day Kyriaki Malama was also added), the word was heard from the majority officials “defection”, as there is a risk of losing the position of officer opposition SYRIZA, remaining with fewer seats, is visible. Giannis Ragousis was the first to use it, when the president of the conference, Giannis Mantzouranis, asked the delegates early on Saturday to decide whether the conference should end on Friday night or continue the next day.
Giannis Ragousis, in his position in favor of the continuation, emphasized that there must be a “clear condemnation of apostasy” and opened fire against Stefanos Kasselakis and those who followed him.
At the same time, Chania Member of Parliament Pavlos Polakis (he was in favor of closing the conference on Friday) emphasized that “what happened today is a success”. In other words, he seems to judge that the departure from SYRIZA-PS of Stefanos Kasselakis and those who followed him is positive for the party. He even added that Stefanos Kasselakis’ tactic to leave was due to the fact that he did not have the majority…
The analyzes for changing the map of the parties or independents in the Parliament are next…
