The main topics of discussion were the upcoming European elections, the days he spent in the army, his marriage and his new home.
Speaking about the upcoming election process and the debates his proposal for supervision has caused, SYRIZA president Stefanos Kasselakis said: “Right now there needs to be a lot of control over the elections.”
And he explained: “We know that overseas voters’ data has been leaked. How do we know that internal voter data hasn’t been leaked? The immutable is not a given.”
Regarding the cooperation with PASOK, he said: “I challenge that we go to double elections. SYRIZA will be renewed. SYRIZA alone. We have created a movement in society. That’s why they try to deconstruct me. We need to reassess. SYRIZA has changed, society has also changed.”
In fact, he did not hesitate to say that is ready to be the next prime minister of Greece.
As for the expectations he has for the European elections, he said: “We will have to show that we have grown in stature, we have been renewed. The goal is the big upset, not second place… I believe society will reward us.”
About his tenure in the army he said: “I came to our country because I became the official opposition leader. I am proud. I proudly wore the coat of arms. Let them respect the expatriates”…
Referring to his military service, he said: “We cannot afford to have less defense spending. We are in a geopolitical situation that requires preparedness. The cheapest defense is prevention. To have a better starting point in our equipment. I certainly do not consider it appropriate to send equipment that we have paid for in gold to Ukraine. We can help in other ways.”
“You can’t even buy your razors with €8.60 that the soldiers get. I used to tell them stop the plural. I participated every day throughout the program. It was a very warm atmosphere and an opportunity for me to mingle with people who have stopped dreaming. I did chores yes, cooking, cooking, of course… I would like the guards to be paid at least 150 euros per month. To be able to pay for their razors.” said the President of SYRIZA.
Stefanos Kasselakis for Alexis Tsipras
When asked about his relations with Alexis Tsipras, Stefanos Kasselakis said: “We have communication. He sent me wishes. We also called him from the camp and he was happy. We are better than ever. He is a man who was mercilessly beaten by the propaganda of the Mitsotakis system. Alexis has made great inroads with society” And he wondered: “Alexis can’t have a consultant for his institute”?
His marriage to Tyler, the new house and the chase with the cameras
“Preparations are progressing. It will take place in Crete” said Stefanos Kasselakis about his wedding with Tyler.
“We’re both tired… But when you have grandparents crying over you, if that means we’re going to have less privacy… We’re authentic, there’s no mechanism to control us. Can we bring any effect to the world? This is the important thing. And then the cameras are gone.”
“We have to furnish the house, renovate a couple of things, in two months we will move in,” said Stefanos Kasselakis.
“SYRIZA will remain independent but it will grow” said the president of SYRIZA in closing his interview and emphasized that he “doesn’t care” if Nikos Androulakis took advantage of his absence from the army.
