163 members of the SYRIZA Central Committee voted in favor of the motion of censure against Stefanos Kasselakis and 120 against and 3 abstentions. A total of 286 members of the Central Committee of SYRIZA voted, 210 of them for life, based on information from SYRIZA.
The “dismissed” Stefanos Kasselakis, after the motion of censure passed by the Central Committee of SYRIZA, will not represent the official opposition party in the TIF. In his place, in Thessaloniki, the president of the Parliamentary Group, Nikos Pappas, will go.
The Central Committee of SYRIZA will meet again in 15 days to determine the timetable for the new elections for the president of the party. The aim of the SYRIZA executives is to hold the party congress immediately, in three months at the latest. Nominations for the leadership are expected to be filed there and a political debate will take place.
In the debate that followed the approval of the motion of censure, Nikos Skorinis, for his part, invoked the statute and proposed the holding of an extraordinary conference. The same opinion was expressed by Panos Rigas, noting that the same mistake should not be made again with the presidential elections of 2023.
Sokratis Famellos requested that there be a proposal for a way out and that a programmatic conference be held before the presidential elections. He even suggested that this should be held at the end of September or the beginning of October if possible.
Nikos Psppas advised calmness and asked all members to act based on the “constitution” of SYRIZA, its statute. He left sharp points against Stefanos Kasselakis for his concluding statement about the “hood” that some members of the Central Committee wore, saying “those of us who speak from the platform of the Central Committee must also think about tomorrow.
The SYRIZA statute for the motion of censure states: “The president of SYRIZA-PS publicly represents the party and is the president of the Parliamentary Group, if he is a member of parliament. In case the president of the party is not an MP, the Parliamentary Group elects its president. This decision of K.O. it needs the ratification of the Central Committee. The president operates within the framework of the decisions of the Central Committee. In the event of a vote of no confidence in the Central Committee by 50% +1 of its members in the president, an extraordinary congress is convened. The convening of the extraordinary conference takes place within 3 months at the most from the moment the relevant request is made”.
Stefanos Kasselakis in his first statement after the vote on the motion of censure said: “I am redeemed because all citizens have seen the censure I have been living with since the first day I was elected president. It is unprecedented in the political history of the country that the party bureaucracy does not accept the vote of the party members from day one. What I have been through a year now, you know everything. We have reached the point where the bureaucracy and the nomenclature of the party are recruiting practices alien to the left, demeaning its esteemed members and wearing hoods. My decisions will be announced where I am always accountable, in the world of SYRIZA”.
How was the voting done?
They voted in the hall 210 members, voted by telephone 76whereas nine members did not come on the phone and therefore did not participate in the process. Voting started on 10:00 in the morning and concluded at 13:00 at noon. After the end of the procedure for those present, those members of the Central Committee who were excused absent (for example, the members of the trade unions that are close to SYRIZA and are in Thessaloniki for the TIF) voted by phone.
Three polling stations were set up for voting. One for the members with surnames from A to K, the second for those with surnames from L to O and the third for those with surnames from P to Z. It is noted that the executives who disagree with the president of SYRIZA Stefanos Kasselakis had a meeting yesterday victory on the points, as their proposal that the vote be secret and that polls be set up passed.
The result was that out of 212, 122 voted to set up ballot boxes, 86 not to set up, while there were also 4 blanks. It is recalled that late on Saturday night and while it had not yet been decided when the vote would be held, Stefanos Kasselakis decided to leave the room where the Central Committee of SYRIZA had been meeting since the morning.
Polakis: Let’s go together to the next day of SYRIZA – I will be a candidate
Pavlos Polakis, after the explosive meeting of the SYRIZA Executive Committee with the vote of censure against Stefanos Kasselakis, reiterated that he will be a candidate for the leadership of SYRIZA.
The MP of Chania described the result in the Central Committee as clear and stated that the procedures for the election of a new leader are now underway.
“I declared my availability for the next day. I expressed an overall program plan, which can form the core of a political proposal of SYRIZA the next day, and the goal is to overthrow the neoliberal Mitsotakis government in a short period of time.”
At the same time, Mr. Polakis left sharp points against Stefanos Kasselakis after their statements about hoods. “In this story I invite all members and friends of SYRIZA to contribute. Let’s move forward coordinated and unifying without extreme expressions and like those heard at the end. Let’s proceed unitedly in the procedures of the new election. I have said that even if I am not elected, I will continue to be SYRIZA”.
When asked if Stefanos Kasselakis will be a candidate for leader, Mr. Polakis said if he wants to, then yes.
Everything that happened at yesterday’s explosive meeting of the KE
In the vote that took place on Sunday night to decide how to vote, 122 voted in favor of the ballot box, 90 in favor of open voting and 212 declared themselves present. In fact, the irritation of Stefanos Kasselakis was intense and he left the room saying: “When they decide how to vote, to vote, I will return.”
Although the “87” and Pavlos Polakis (who submitted a candidacy for the leadership of the party) insisted that the proceedings continue yesterday, the decision of the presidium was the final one and thus, today was the new episode in the “serial” of internal party consultations and tensions.
SYRIZA: The motion of censure of the 87
The motion of censure against Stefanos Kasselakis was submitted by the “100” to the Central Committee, with the judgment in SYRIZA to escalate.
“In the last one year especially since Stefanos Kasselakis was elected to the leadership of the party, our party is in a protracted crisis of principles and values! Our party under the absolute responsibility of the president is in a prolonged introversion and shrinking of its electoral influence”, the “87” emphasize in the motion of censure.
“Why the members and friends of SYRIZA-PS cannot wait and demand clear and democratic solutions NOW 100 members of the Central Committee activate the provisions of article 20 par.4 of the Statute and file a motion of no confidence in the president and request immediate appeal to the base ».
Pavlos Polakis from the platform of the Central Committee of SYRIZA raised the issue of leadership, he asked Stefanos Kasselakis to lead the party in elections by himself, he submitted his candidacy for president and said that even if he loses, he will remain in SYRIZA.
“I believed in Stefanos Kasselakis and supported him. I fell out, he does not make for president of SYRIZA. I’m running for president. If the motion of censure does not pass, I will remain in the party and if I lose the elections again I will remain and we do not need another party like Zoi Konstantopoulou’s. Lead the party to elections by yourself,” Pavlos Polakis is reported to have said.
Pavlos Polakis responded to the president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, about homophobia and lifestyle, telling journalists after he had stepped down from the stage: “I didn’t put Dora on stage, like you did Tyler.”
Pavlos Polakis did not file a motion of censure not because he wanted to avoid it, since as he said “if necessary, he will do it” but since they filed earlier, he emphasized: “Support her”.
