Papanotas: The background to his dismissal from SYRIZA – “Personal decision of Stefanos Kasselakis”
Dimitris Papanotas emphasized that he entered “this game alone”, as “an idealist of the left, as a European leftist”, who sees a danger for Europe and “I tried to put my strength in the direction of avoiding this danger. I entered alone, I did the race alone, alone and with enthusiasm I saw the support of the public, I did not receive congratulations from anyone. I expressed to the party officials my surprise, that I alone was happy with the result, I alone found out what has happened and I never saw the president.”
He himself did not fail to leave spikes, saying that “those whom I defended publicly, these same people were digging the pit for me, and in an unacceptable way. I’m not from yesterday. I have been exposed for 37 years every day on television, I have given my opinions, my history is there, nothing objectionable was found in my political speeches. They went to the time cabinet, found a statement, which they cut and sewed to their own measurements to accuse me.”
Concluding his interview, Dimitris Papanotas emphasized that “I don’t like that they dismissed me when I was ready to resign. It is unethical. The bedouins of politics ate me, thank you, good digestion.”
