The gap in SYRIZA it seems to be unbridgeable, with the critics of Stefanos Kasselakis calling for internal party elections to appoint a new leader, as they consider that he no longer has a parliamentary majority in the party, and him and his supporters emphasizing that he has the great acceptance of the base.
“To take responsibility (to appeal to an intra-party ballot box, this will act redemptively”stated Olga Gerovasili in her telephonic statements, while the same was requested by the MEP of SYRIZA, Nikos Faradouris, who has not ruled out the possibility of expressing an interest in the leadership, if there are relevant developments.
Speaking in the First Program, the MP, Socrates Famous, he emphasized: “Obviously, I respect this proposal of Olga Gerovasilis. On the other hand, I cannot understand the proposal of Stefanos Kasselakis, who says that we cannot trust the members of the party again.”
Thanasis Theocharopoulos he told Action24 that Mr. Kasselakis “does not want the grassroots and is afraid of the grassroots”, adding that “with the leadership’s responsibility, introversion has been produced instead of politics lately”. In the same context, “the party is shrinking both parliamentaryly and socially as can be seen in the measurements and this is the responsibility of the leadership” pointed out Mr. Theocharopoulos, while he described the attitude of the SYRIZA PS leadership as an attempt to appease Pavlos Polakis.
For her part, the deputy Nina KasimatiSYRIZA’s parliamentary representative, speaking to OPEN, commented that: “I find no reason to live with six months and every 6 months they ask that those who disagree with Kasselakis appeal to new polls for his reconfirmation as president or anything else”.
“I do not find the reason why the people of SYRIZA should suffer again, the people who want to deal with this process, and come to the polls. 11 months ago we elected a new president”, said, speaking to MEGA, the member of parliament of the official opposition, Petros Pappas.
Meanwhile, Popi Tsapanidou on Friday he is sworn in and assumes parliamentary duties in place of the resigned Othon Iliopoulos.
The crucial meeting of the K.E. of SYRIZA
The unity of the official opposition party is at a critical crossroads ahead of the Central Committee meeting, while significant moves are expected on the intra-party chessboard, both in the foreground and in the background.
The big question is whether the challenges to the leadership will lead to a motion of censure and who will support it, according to the ERT report. To pass it requires 50% plus one of the votes of the members which is 300. So, for the scenario to be implemented the censure must be filed by a person or group, supported at least, say by the group of “87” executives, who seem to be moving more aggressively against the leadership and who have significant momentum. However, in order to pass from the field of impressions to the field of routing developments, they will have to find allies, either individuals and certainly some other group.
And here comes the second question, what will the side of Pavlos Polakis and his supporters do, within KE.
Until a few days ago after the developments in P.G. many took it for granted that the Chaniot MP, independent after the expulsion from the K.O. but a member of the party bodies, would start adamantly against the leadership. However, the developments of the last few hours and the fact that he declares himself vindicated, after the deletion of Athena Linou by Stefanos Kasselakis, according to many, bring closer a scenario of his rapprochement with Stefanos Kasselakis, who from the first moment had not raised his voice towards Pavlos Polakis, despite the questioning he received from him.
Of course, the side of Nikos Pappas, which has been formed with Stefanos Kasselakis, is a critical factor and regulator of developments.
These are some information and basic scenarios regarding the anthropo-geography of the party, but no one can discount what individual cadres will do, or whether some cadres who are counted in certain movements or groups, will ultimately make different choices, or even if we will see some other alliances.
