“In SYRIZA-PS we are talking about a political upheaval, which is not exclusively linked to the percentages of our party in the June European elections”, says the representative of SYRIZA-PS, Voula Kehagia in an interview with “Real News”, and explains: ” The reversal is also related to the overall political image that will be formed on the night of the European elections. The increase in the percentages of SYRIZA-PS combined with a noticeable decrease in the percentages of the ND will create a new political scenario with the ruling party weakened and the official opposition strengthened.”
Mrs. Kehagia also says: The narrowing of the distance between ND and SYRIZA-PS will cause a blow to its sovereignty, therefore also to the government of Mr. Mitsotakis who treated the 41% of June 2023 as a blank check and managed it with absolute arrogance. The higher the percentage of SYRIZA-PS, the better for society and the country seeking change. Our party, as a party of power seeks, as Stefanos Kasselakis has said, victory, but if it does not come in the European elections, it is certain that it will be secured in the national elections. Because Mr. Mitsotakis set the bar at 33% – i.e. below the limit of self-reliance – we tell them that the comparisons will be made clearly with the national elections of 2023. And then we will all be re-weighed.
Regarding the criticism received by SYRIZA-PS for not submitting a memorandum for the exclusion of the Spartans, he replies: “Because the ND and PASOK, which coordinate as twin souls, submitted a memorandum to the Areopagus for the Spartans, it does not automatically mean, as the two parties want to they present it, that SYRIZA-PS failed to do so because it “coddles” the votes of the Far Right. We don’t want those votes. The ND is probably projecting its appetites to the official opposition to justify its real goals: the capture of votes from the Spartans and other far-right formations. SYRIZA-PS chose to present its position through a political statement in which it clarifies its abhorrence and its refusal towards every Nazi, fascist and criminal offshoot of the Golden Dawn, but also towards every formation that exhibits similar characteristics. The ruling faction, on the other hand, pretends to be concerned about the Spartans when, through its own negligence or shortsightedness, it failed to exclude this party from the national elections. At the time that she included Kasidiaris’ hymn-writer on the European ballot and at the same time that she is a ND MP, she clearly states that the ruling party is looking for votes from everywhere, even if they come from the Far Right. If this is not political opportunism, then this means that the ND feels comfortable with these votes, and this is something much more serious.”
Regarding the condemnations in the churches and the violence in the Parliament, he said: “Unfortunately, we should not have reached this point. The ND in 2023 ostentatiously ignored the proposals of SYRIZA-PS to put in more safeguards to exclude neo-fascist formations and branches of the ACA from the elections. He chose to attack the official opposition by fabricating theories that he monotonously repeats even now. Let him be careful because reckless mud-slinging often backfires and backfires. We clearly condemn all these disgusting and sad events that took place in the Parliament but also those that happen even in places of religious worship such as Churches”.
About the collaborations in the progressive space the day after the elections he said: “Any progressive collaborations will come from the grassroots. The needs of society will give birth to them. SYRIZA-PS will be the great democratic faction that will be able to integrate every progressive citizen who believes that there is a more human-centered proposal for governance.”
