SYRIZA: The new intervention of Tsipras and the spikes of Famello
 2024-02-28 18:02:58

It is noted that this intervention comes a few days following his written announcement which acted as an accelerator of developments in the official opposition party, with the questioning of Stefanos Kasselakis.

It seems that Alexis Tsipras will not remain in the background, as he has done all the last months, following the defeat in the national elections and the change of leadership in SYRIZA. At the conference, there will be a historical review of the last 5 decades and reflections on the future of the country will be expressed.

Who will participate?

So far, the participation of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Antonis Samaras, George Papandreou, Evangelos Venizelos, Dora Bakoyannis, Yiannis Stournaras, Sokratis Famellos, Euclid Tsakalotos and Efis Ahtsioglou has been confirmed.

“The conference instructed us to have a single voice and not to enter into a vortex of introversion”, stressed the president of the parliamentary group of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance Sokratis Famellos, speaking to the radio station “Real”, while he also proceeded with indirect spikes once morest Alexis Tsipras, saying that the party “was not created just for one person”, noting, however, that the problems have not been solved, while he said that the appointment of Tsipras and the introductory appointment of Kasselakis to the Congress were not “lightning in the air”.

Regarding the political decision of the conference, Sokratis Famellos characterized it as a “mandate of unity and collectivity”.

“The country requires a better official opposition”

As he said, “the 4th Congress of SYRIZA-PS took a very specific decision. It gives us a mandate of unity and collectivity. The problems of the party are not solved, we have to sit down and work to solve them on our instruments and not on radios and televisions. We cannot go blind. We have to get better. The country requires a better official opposition. But first of all it requires that we get rid of the Mitsotakis government and we must find a solution with a progressive way out”.

With regard to what is going on in SYRIZA-PS and whether Stefanos Kasselakis is president “under a deadline”, Sokratis Famellos emphasized that “a party is never elected president under a deadline. Especially in a party that claims to provide answers to society’s problems.”

Famellos: “SYRIZA-PS must have seriousness and competence – No one has a blank check”

He then went on to say that “society is asking for a solid and serious proposal to solve its problems. President is elected with a perspective. Our only rules are the charter. We are neither a person-centered party nor were we created just for one person. The statute defines how the President is elected, what his term of office is and how he is re-elected. All this has not been undone. No one has ever questioned and the election of the President has never been questioned. So there is no President, and Presidents in general, under a deadline. The question of the leadership of a progressive, democratic party is a question of democracy. Regarding the “blank check” question, those of us who serve in positions of responsibility are judged every day. We do not have a blank check once morest society, not our party, not Stefanos Kasselakis, not me, not the MPs, not the Political Secretariat. It is not a sign of seriousness and competence of a party in power to raise a question of leadership every four or five months. SYRIZA-PS must have seriousness and competence”.

He then added that “there is a decision of the conference with a very large majority to strengthen the collective at the highest level, according to the clear statutory provision and the political decision of the Congress. The base of the party, the members of the party – because the members of the party participated in the Congress – asked us for two things. Not to enter a new vortex of introversion, to have one “voice”, with more announcers. And we decided that there is no doubt regarding the person of Stefanos Kasselakis. The request of the base was formulated alongside a great anxiety, for the survival of SYRIZA. The goal is very high and it is not easy.”

At the same time, the president of the KO of SYRIZA-PS also referred to the content of the positions of the delegates.

As he noted, “a large percentage of the speeches and positions at the Congress concerned the program, positions and what we propose for Greek society and the country. The issue of the possible election of a president may have been communicatively emphasized, but the conference did not discuss only that. We discussed at length the problems of Greek society. The position text, which we edited and which Marilisa Xenogiannakopoulou proposed at the end of the Conference, is a very good proposal for Greek society. A modern, humane and strong state. Because in our country we have neither planning nor a strong state”.

“The Tsipras-Kasselakis appointments on Thursday were not lightning bolts”

Finally, Sokratis Famellos underlined the priorities of SYRIZA-PS for the following day. “Thursday’s positions, both of Alexis Tsipras and the introduction of Stefanos Kasselakis, were not unprovoked. It wasn’t a bolt from the blue. They are not without foundation in terms of the real issues that have come to the fore in the last week. But the members of the Conference chose that it is important not to have a new vortex of introversion, to be united, to solve the problems in the institutions, with an upgraded political collective and above all to solve the problems of society. Because today the battle for private universities begins, which is a very big issue. That is, whether our children will have a future or not and also whether their studies will depend on how much money they have. It is also a very important issue to intervene in the issue of punctuality in supermarkets or farmers’ problems. We have to give answers to all these and build a party that can give answers to the burning issues of society”, he said.
