What was said in private discussions, at wells and in private meetings, is now clearly expressed in the public discourse by several front-line SYRIZA executives.
After repeated challenges Kasselakis those who wish to challenge him officially and institutionally in the Organs, executives of the so-called “internal party opposition” – and not only – clearly raise the issue of leadership.
“Stefanos Kasselakis must address the people who support SYRIZA through the ballot box. Obviously with internal party elections… He must take the responsibility himself and this should work redemptively” emphasized Olga Gerovasili.
According to information from documentonews.gr, many officials yesterday agreed and applauded the statement of the vice-president of the Parliament, as such a move on the part of Kasselakis would prevent tensions and conflicts at the meeting of the Central Committee (September 7-8), but also of the Political Secretariat which will precede.
THE Thanassis Theocharopoulos speaking to ERT, he characterized Stefanos Kasselakis as “unsuitable for the position”, accusing him of “instead of uniting, he divides”.
“Remember that last week he targeted party officials via video […] These are unprecedented things. This is where seriousness needs to be restored and what is happening is indeed very unpleasant,” he said, indirectly but not clearly expressing a position for a change of leadership.
“The defusing of the crisis by appealing to the popular will can be redemptive. Obviously there are issues and leadership issues. From there, there are solutions,” the MEP stressed Nicholas Farandouriswhere through documentonews.gr he has left open the possibility of running for the presidency.

What will the “87” do
The informal coordinator of the group of “87” is in constant communication. A quick online discussion took place last night, and the full panel is expected to meet in the coming days to reach final decisions.
Given the intention Arvanite not to be a candidate even though he has many supporters, it is expected that pressure will be put on him in the next period of time Socrates Famelloso that he will be the person who will be supported by the “87” in a possible election process.
“I can’t see this going downhill anymore, and I can’t even see it when there are so many serious problems in Greek society,” said yesterday the former – now – president of the KO of SYRIZA, stressing that “there is clearly a political issue of the party’s leadership “, while admitting that he respects Olga Gerovasili’s proposal to Stefanos Kasselakis.
However, Sokratis Famellos has so far not expressed any desire to run for the presidency, despite the many invitations he receives.
Even today, the “87” have not reached a unified stance, which may be achieved in the next 24 hours. It is characteristic that some executives, speaking to documentonews.gr, declare 100% certain that a motion of censure will be made, some others keep their reservations, while others declare they are ready to leave…
Pavlos Polakis
Speaking to people close to him, Pavlos Polakis declares that he is determined not to back down and to challenge Stefanos Kasselakis openly and institutionally. He denies the rumors that eventually, one way or another, he will get along with the president of SYRIZA. The weather is near…

The …opposite
However, it seems that Stefanos Kasselakis is not going to succumb to the pressure. After all, he has challenged anyone who questions him to do so institutionally (that is, to try to find 50%+1 of the Central Committee), while he has declared that he would not like to “suffer the party” with new elections.
“I do not find the reason why the people of SYRIZA should suffer again and come to the polls. Eleven months ago we elected a new president, six months ago when this president was challenged again, the people’s confidence was reaffirmed,” said the MP Petros Pappas and added:
“There should be no elections. If someone has a Messiah in the drawer or if someone will bring SYRIZA from 15% to 35%, let them submit it. Let them make a motion of censure, bear the cost to the people who are outraged by the image of the party and file a motion of censure with the Central Committee as planned. Here is Rhodes, here is the leap.”
The new parliamentary representative spoke against Gerovasili’s proposal, Nina Kasimati: “I listened to the statement with interest, it also reminded me of the intervention of Alexis Tsipras before the Congress. The view was tried in Congress and disapproved. In my opinion it is wrong. I don’t find any reason why those who disagree with Kasselakis ask for an appeal to the polls every 6 months […] We have only one job as official opposition, the deconstruction of the Mitsotakis government” he said and advocated the reintegration of Pavlos Polakis into the Parliamentary Group.
As everyone understands, in SYRIZA, even within the Parliamentary Group, extremely opposing views prevail, which puts unity at maximum risk. What is certain is that the next few days will be decisive for the official opposition party, with all scenarios – literally – open.
