The atmosphere of war continues among the elected congressmen of SYRIZA, as there are many who claim that they did not receive a message that would validate their participation in the Congress of the party that starts from today until November 10.
In fact, in a letter to the Central Organizing Committee of the Conference and the organizational department of the conference, the Coordinating NE of Athens A emphasizes that “none of the legally elected delegates of the 19 Member Organizations (OM) of Athens A has so far received confirmation participation in the Congress” and calls for the resignation of the secretary of the party, Rania Svigou.

To: Organization, KOES
Comrades and comrades
We would like to inform you that none of the legally elected delegates of the 19 OM of the First Athens has so far received information via sms or email (or any other way) about their participation in the extraordinary congress of the SYRIZA PS that starts today. This is an unprecedented, unacceptable and anti-social tactic and behavior of the organization that is causing enormous disruption and inconvenience to our elected members.
For these reasons
We invite you to send an SMS or email within the next hour with the accreditation of the delegates of A’ Athens. Otherwise we reserve all our legal rights.
It goes without saying that we call on the secretary of the party to assume her responsibilities and resign immediately.

**Interview with Rania Svigou, Secretary of SYRIZA**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us today, Rania. There’s been significant unrest within SYRIZA regarding the communication—or lack thereof—about the upcoming congress. Some members have expressed frustration at not receiving confirmation of their participation. How do you respond to these claims?
**Rania Svigou**: I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter. It’s crucial that we maintain open lines of communication. We are currently reviewing the situation to ensure that all delegates receive the necessary information.
**Interviewer**: The Coordinating NE of Athens A has publicly called for your resignation, stating that this mishap is an ”unprecedented and unacceptable” tactic. How do you think such an intra-party conflict impacts SYRIZA’s image, especially with new members joining?
**Rania Svigou**: It’s important to remember that intra-party debates are not uncommon, especially in a democratic organization. While it can be challenging, we must focus on unity and the broader goals of SYRIZA.
**Interviewer**: There’s a growing concern among the electorate about how effectively SYRIZA can govern if it struggles with internal organization. Do you believe this will affect voter confidence in the upcoming elections?
**Rania Svigou**: I believe our commitment to democratic processes will ultimately strengthen our party. Voter confidence is built on transparency and responsiveness, and we are actively working to improve these areas.
**Interviewer**: As we see tensions rise, what do you think this says about the state of political discourse within SYRIZA? Are these disagreements a sign of a healthy democratic process or an indicator of deeper issues within the party?
**Rania Svigou**: I view these discussions as a necessary part of a healthy political discourse. However, it is crucial for us to resolve these issues promptly to avoid any detrimental effects on our collective mission.
**Interviewer**: how do you think these events will shape the future of SYRIZA as you move forward with the congress and beyond?
**Rania Svigou**: This is a moment of reflection and growth for us. If handled correctly, it can lead to a more robust party that is better equipped to address the needs of the people.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for your insights, Rania. It’s clear that SYRIZA is at a crossroads, and how you navigate these challenges will be watched closely by both party members and the public.
