In the relevant leak they claim that it “confirms that Mr. Kasselakis is in an ordered service for the dissolution of SYRIZA-PS and to serve the interests that wish to maintain ND in the governance of the country”. “We will monitor the deviations for the establishment of the Kasselakis party and the descent that will reach the public support of the ND. He has done it before “after all”…” they note.
SYRIZA – Kasselakis: Why don’t they let me lose if they are not afraid?
“I am a presidential candidate again,” he declares Stefanos Kasselakis by posting it on social media. “You will decide if you want to have a vote of no confidence in my presidency or not and even when you cancel the decision of the EC, I will go to elections within the timetable for rebaptism from the base. Anyone who tells you that this cannot be done at the congress is knowingly lying,” he clarifies, speaking to his constituents. “Why won’t they let me lose? Why? Let us lose if you are not afraid” notes the former president of SYRIZA.
Kasselaki’s post in detail
“You will decide if you want to have a vote of no confidence in my presidency or not and even when you cancel the decision of the EC, I will go to elections within the timetable for rebaptism from the base. Anyone who tells you that this cannot be done at the conference is knowingly lying. They do it because they want to disappoint people, don’t participate. But this is not a Democracy, it is a marked deck. We are going to bring Democracy.
That is why I am again a candidate for President, because I want in the history of the Left not to have any stain on democracy within our party. We cannot let SYRIZA end, with decisions taken in closed rooms, without a real quorum, without a majority.
And at the end of the day even if all of this were legitimate, I ask: Why won’t they let me lose? Why? Let us lose if you are not afraid. But you know what’s coming. What is coming will be no persecution of anyone. Here comes the unity at the base. There will be new elected officials across the party. Many young people will have the opportunity to participate. To come forward with his value. You will be able to legislate yourself through your MPs. You will participate in the consultation. This is a modern party. A party worthy of the history of the Left and the history of Greece. The first step is the conference. I am asking you to organize and support me.”
You will decide if you want there to be no confidence in my presidency or not and even when you cancel the decision of the EC, I will go to elections within the timetable for rebaptism from the base.

“I will never betray you,” said Stefanos Kasselakis, speaking to executives and members of SYRIZA in Kastoria, adding that “we will go to the end, until SYRIZA becomes in practice the party of the members.”
Mr. Kasselakis, according to the relevant announcement, continued by stating that “it was supposed that two weekends ago we would have completed our statutory conference, which would have brought major changes” and that “the biggest of these changes was to stop this factorism and factionalism within our party”.
“By giving you the tools to choose your ballots, instead of a balanced political secretariat choosing which candidate to promote based on influence in the local community, you will be able to choose your own candidates, both digitally and by ballot,” he added. He said that “anyone can enter the arena of politics, put themselves in the front line and have a chance, without going through the corner of the president’s office, as was done before.”
“You may see SYRIZA hurt with single-digit percentages and say that it is unlikely to ever recover. I guarantee you that the more open politics in the country will see the response from the society,” he said. He added that “if it appears that there is someone in this place who listens to the citizens, gives them a platform to produce political solutions and makes them feel that their voice is heard, then you will see that society will reward that, especially when find that this political solution is progressive and realistic.” Among those present were Olympia Teligioridou and Efi Michelaki, members of the SYRIZA Executive Committee.
SYRIZA: Gerovasilis, Zachariadis, Gletsos are referred to disciplinary proceedings for “extreme positions”
To SYRIZA the internal party confrontation is escalating in view of the party conference which according to the schedule will take place on November 8. The Central Committee decided to refer Olga Gerovassilis, Kostas Zachariadis and Apostolos Gletsos to the Ethics Committee for “extreme positions”.
On Thursday, the Political Secretariat met, and everyone said to lower the tone. Panagiotis Rigas also said it, the other side also said it. Now we have the 12 members of the Central Committee succeeding against Olga Gerovassilis, Kostas Zachariadis and Apostolos Gletsos for extreme expressions.
It will go to the Ethics Committee, all the complaints will be checked and it will decide, while the 87 say that even in peacetime they happen. But is that the way things are, or is the issue now being opened for Stefanos Kasselakis, where it seemed that he had closed the issue of the deletion, when the new issue with the three is opened.
However, Olga Gerovasili obviously did not know this. In an interview with Parapolitika, she characteristically says that there is a dissolving crisis in SYRIZA under the responsibility of Stefanos Kasselakis, and that it is fueled by New Democracy, which supports him. Mr. Zachariadis says that after the hoods and black funds, “what did we expect from Stefanos Kasselakis”. And he considers the move a distraction.
Mr. Farandouris proposes two vice-presidents to the party, as he reports in the Editors’ Journal, and says characteristically that we should not go to the members of one day “So we saw the light and entered”. In other words, from the side of Mr. Kasselakis, two deputies, Mr. Avlonitis and Mr. Pappas, say that if you do not have him as a candidate, we will leave the party.
After the… Dolphinarium, SYRIZA goes to a conference in bouzoukis
However, Stefanos Kasselakis is touring around Greece, like a normal candidate for leader. Yesterday, accompanied by Theodora Tzakri, he was in Edessa and attended the celebrations for the liberation of the city. Even the venue of the Conference – if it is not finally postponed – became an occasion for a fight in SYRIZA!
Stefanos Kasselakis was informed that Koumoundourou intends to hold the Conference scheduled for November 8-10 in a night club that has been closed for four years, which – according to information – is Gazi Live in Iera Odos.
All this became known through an announcement from the office of Stefanos Kasselakis, with which the staff of the ousted SYRIZA president asked about the venue, the procedures for preparing the Congress and the elections for the nomination of a new president.
The announcement
“SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance is at a critical time, with the Congress already postponed once and planned to be held in a nightclub, which has been closed for more than four years. Given this, there are serious questions concerning the upcoming Congress, which need an immediate answer:
* What exact steps have been taken to search for a venue for the Conference and when did they start?
* Is there a space lease agreement?
* Which company has taken over the election process?
* Why isn’t the campaign for the Conference open yet?
The answer to the above questions is decisive for ensuring the trust and participation of the party members” said the announcement, while a member of parliament and supporter of Stefanos Kasselakis said in a post on social media: “Come now, you can do better: In a cafeteria, at a flea market, at some abandoned circus perhaps? Only shame now.”
Big names!
Gazi Live is a nightclub which hosted singers such as Notis Sfakianakis, Paola, Nikos Vourliotis, Natassa Bofiliou, Marinella, Glykeria and Eleni Vitali in the three years 2017-2019.
Notis Sfakianakis, Paola and Giorgos Papadopoulos were the last to appear on the stage of Gazi Live in December 2018, who continued their appearances until March 2019, with the group “dropping” two weeks earlier than planned due to personal reasons of the three singers, as stated in an announcement from the company that managed the night club.
Awning change
Now, the time has come for the marquee of SYRIZA, instead of Notis Sfakianakis, Paola and Giorgos Papadopoulos, at Gazi Live for Stefanos Kasselakis and the “kaselistas”, Alexis Tsipras and “87”, to reveal their personal details. Sokratis Famellos, Nikolas Farandouris, Pavlos Pollakis, maybe even Rena Dourou.
Until the SYRIZA scheme “comes down” from the stage as well… Stefanos Kasselakis is still touring Greece, like a normal leader candidate. Yesterday, accompanied by Theodora Tzakri, he was in Edessa and attended the celebrations for the liberation of the city. Many rushed to greet him, while he was photographed with young and old.
To a question about what will happen “now that you have been deleted”, he answered: “I have not been deleted. They don’t have me. And only the people erase everything.”
