If something like this happens, in fact it is enough for four MPs to become independent, SYRIZA will automatically become the third strongest party in the Parliament (it is already fifth in the opinion polls, with a percentage well below 10%) and PASOK will emerge as the official opposition.
This information is selectively leaked by Stefanos Kasselakis’ staff, along with the remark that he neither intends to form his own parliamentary group in the Parliament nor has he requested such a thing from the deputies who appear ready to make the above move.
And they add one last thing. That there are other MPs, who support other candidates and not Stefanos Kasselakis, who are against the exclusion of the ousted president from the leadership race and they appear ready to leave as well.
This is the last line of defense of the “Kasselakians” who are trying to shake up the system, at a time when the “87” of Alexis Tsipras seem to be only interested in how Stefanos Kasselakis will not be a candidate, at any cost.
Regarding the warning-threat for the independence of the five to seven deputies as a pressure measure, everything shows that this will not change their attitude either.
- Firstly, because as they say, they don’t believe that the “Kasselakiki” will carry out their threat, as they will give such a gift, that is to charge a split that seems to be final for the party.
- Second, the seal with the party fund is a more important goal.
The “Kasselakians” report that Stefanos Kasselakis is continuing his tour of Greece as a normal candidate and is waiting for his candidacy to be ratified at the congress. They also say that thousands of people sign up to his site and that is the real reason why the ’87’s made it a supposedly major issue.
In the last few hours, however, another scenario is being strengthened, that of Rena Douro’s candidacy. In a way, it is the plan b of the “Kasselakians” in case his candidacy does not pass the congress or the congress is postponed until after the elections for the leadership of the party, as the “87” of Alexis Tsipras are allegedly planning.
Those who know people and things in Koumoundourou insist that Panos Rigas did not accidentally say the day before yesterday at the meeting of the Political Secretariat that “”anyone who wants to can submit a candidacy to the congress. Whatever majority is formed in the Congress, decides everything” and in essence, was a phrase that not only defended the Kasselakis candidacy, but also prepared the candidacy of Rena Douros, who – also not by chance – while tepidly denied the rumors about of her candidacy, she said: “I have never operated in terms of self-nomination, I have never operated in terms of parapolitics. And that won’t change now.”
Which loosely translated means that if her candidacy occurs, then it will not be done with a statement of her own, but with a text about the future of the party and the necessary number of signatures below that will support her candidacy.
Whatever she says publicly, everyone understands that if the decision to reject the candidacy of Stefanos Kasselakis becomes final, Mrs. Dourou – who stands firmly against the lines of “87” of Alexis Tsipras in the last meetings of the Political Secretariat and the of the Central Committee of SYRIZA – he is a person who can also gather the electoral base of the “Kasselista”, but possibly also voters of the “87” of Alexis Tsipras, who seem dissatisfied with the expediencies they have been serving lately, but do not want to support Polakis or Faradouri.
Polakis and Faradouris games
Meanwhile, while everyone is trying to understand how Alexis Tsipras has become angry with Nikolas Faradouris, when the MEP is supported by the former prime minister’s regular interlocutor and friend Louka Katselis, the new rift concerns the front between the “Casselists” and Pavlos Polakis.
After a period where everyone said that it was the allies of the second round, the “Casselists” began to attack massively on social media against the MP of Chania, considering that with his absence from the central committee and also ordering the absence of the members of the body that support him, he actually supported the “87” line of Alexis Tsipras. This attack was the occasion for Pavlos Polakis to launch the insulting attack he launched at the Political Secretariat against Stefanos Kasselakis, calling him a “narcissist”, “something that a president does not do” and “Adolf Hitlerian”.
