The party’s MP spoke regarding the reasons why he decided to be a candidate for the PASOK president. Michalis Katrinis to SKAI and “Atairiastos”.
“I cannot come to terms with the image of a small and medium-sized party that will fight for second or third place,” Mr. Katrinis initially said, adding that he understood the need to have a large democratic faction that would pose a real threat to Mr. Mitsotakis. and will be able to rule.
“We must be concerned that we did not collect politically following the electoral collapse of the ND and the continued decline of SYRIZA”
“I am ready to talk to citizens who are looking for a different political proposal. Party leadership is not a matter of persons, it is a matter of policy. And the person who will lead PASOK the next day must be able to express the social opposition and be able to talk regarding everyday issues, he then underlined, while at the same time saying:
“There is an electoral crash of New Democracy following an electoral crash of SYRIZA which continues to fall and PASOK does not collect politically and electorally from it. It says a lot and should worry us.”
He reiterated that he was, is and will be a soldier of the faction, “but I am also a political executive who, receiving the message of the Greek society, I am obliged to recommend that the necessary be done. I was not preparing any candidacy, but I cannot ignore that the social majority is looking for something alternative to PASOK. We want indestructible faces and, above all, a perspective of governability with clear conversations.”
Finally, when asked regarding a possible alliance with SYRIZA, Mr. Katrinis emphasized:
“The first example of a common opposition to the government was the joint motion of no confidence that we co-signed with SYRIZA, the New Left and the Faith of Freedom, which led to the dismissal of two government officials. This should act as a road map for the continuation and future of the need for discussion. I believe it is something that will happen in time.”
