Asked why she made the decision to claim the presidency of the party, PASOK-KINAL, she answered “Because, after the European elections, it was very obvious that the political system is entering a relative deconstruction. In other words, the dominant party which is New Democracy lost 13 points in one year. The official opposition is dissolved in its constituent parts. And so I considered that everyone has an obligation to support an effort for PASOK to become a major opposition again and become a ruling party. I think my own candidacy addresses what I said before. In large social strata, in many and different groups that have to do with both the left and the center and that he would contribute substantially to this effort and I think he has already done so. So I believe that everyone, not only those who decide to run for leadership, can even today, even tomorrow, play an important role, basically inviting citizens to the polls and everyone pick up their cell phone and start calling people . It’s important for people to get up from the couch,” he told ERT.
