Simeon Kedikoglou and Giorgos Karameros, according to information, put forward the proposal to postpone the meeting and to make the decisions in a second year. “If we go to a vote today we will break up or divide further. I propose an interruption of the K.O. meeting and a meeting of the executive office with the composition provided by the statute, physical presence of the president in order to find a consensual solution” Mr. Karameros is reported to have said.
However, the Kasselakis side insists that the vote be held today.
According to information, Katerina Notopoulou, in her statement, again turned against Stefanos Kasselakis, saying “the manner of its convening is an absolute underestimation of the KO”. “Today we were supposed to discuss about the TIF and the proposal is about how we will break up,” noted the first member of parliament for Thessaloniki, according to information.
“I appreciate and love the comrades who were proposed to enter the presidency, but I call on them not to accept in order to save the cohesion and dignity of the parliamentary group. The president should withdraw his proposal, otherwise we will go to the polls”, he concluded.
The bad loss for SYRIZA – Famellos is not resigning as president of K.O.
The situation in SYRIZA is chaotic after the decision of Stefanos Kasselakis to unseat Sokratis Famellos as president of SYRIZA’s KO and to replace him with Nikos Pappas.
From the floor of the meeting, the current president of the SYRIZA KO, Sokratis Famellos, said, among other things, that he is not resigning, so the KO members will decide. According to information, the deputies will first place it and then the vote will take place. “This proposal leads us to an even greater introversion. Real problems are not masked by surprises and dismissals. For 11 months, the KO has been operating with unity and unity. He has produced great parliamentary work. KO is not the problem.
The proposal instead of correcting the mistakes and addressing the real problems makes things much worse. I’m not giving up. To follow the procedures provided by the statute of operation of the KO. That the motion of censure against me be put to a secret vote.”
Indicative of the chaotic situation in SYRIZA is that all the associates of MPs were asked to leave the room except for a few associates of Stefanos Kasselakis, such as Manolis Kapnisakis.
We remind you that Stefanos Kasselakis, at the KO meeting to which he connected via zoom, removed Sokratis Famellos from the presidency of the Parliamentary Group and replaced Nikos Pappas.
This position fully confirms the report of the Free Press and Eleftherostypos.gr, which stated that the president of SYRIZA has fallen out with Famellos because he believes that he is playing more with the internal party opposition than with him. In fact, from… his planter in the group of “87” or something like that, he learned that in a meeting with Zoom that they had in the last few days, Famellos was proposed as interim president in case the balance is overturned in the Congress. This made Kasselakis furious, because he considers that Famellos has been treated impeccably and more than that. They tell me, in fact, that what worries him is another split in case it… eats him, as the great danger for the president of SYRIZA is to lose the advantage that being the official opposition gives him.
The placement of Nikos Pappas as the head of the SYRIZA Central Committee was therefore made with the obvious aim of Stefanos Kasselakis to check the connections in the Central Committee of SYRIZA, as Pavlos Polakis has announced that he will file a motion of censure, so that procedures for the election of a president in the official opposition party.
Regarding the positions of the three parliamentary representatives, the president of SYRIZA announced that the new parliamentary representatives are: Yannis Sarakiotis, Nina Kasimati and George Gavrilos, replacing Nikos Pappas, Theofilos Xanthopoulos and Dionysis Kalamatianos
Deputy Parliamentary Representative will be Vassilis Kokkalis while coordinator of EPEKE, Iota Poulos with Rallia Christidou being deputy coordinator of EPEKE.
At the same time, since the morning, the developments are also rapid on other levels as Popi Tsapanidou blocked the path of Stefanos Kasselakis to the Parliament as she accepted the position as first runner-up to the resigned Member of State, Othona Iliopoulos.
Also, earlier Athena Linou, who has been targeted by Pavlos Polakis, sent an extrajudicial letter to the politician from Sfakia, calling on him to withdraw the posts he has made against her, with him responding negatively.
The position of Stefanos Kasselakis at the KO meeting:
“I am determined to move on a new course of extroversion, with a modern SYRIZA of members, society, citizens. Today is just the beginning. And in this new course, I propose a new composition for the Bureau of our parliamentary representation, which I believe will strengthen our efficiency as a Group as well as our firepower. I therefore propose that the position of Head of our Parliamentary Group be taken by Nikos Pappas. I recommend Nikos for two main reasons. First, because Nikos is a respected economist with a PhD in economics from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. In fact, he did his thesis on the microeconomic effects of Greece’s demographic problem, which is very current. Nikos also taught at the University for four years.
We do not entrust our Economy to Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who has failed in the private sector, or Kostis Hatzidakis, who has never worked in his life. Their pernicious effects are now visible even to their supporters. We have the experience and knowledge to address the true field of the economy: The small and medium entrepreneur. The freelancer. The farmer’s. Of the wage earner who must live with dignity. The economy of research and innovation. Secondly, because Nikos is a politician with solid political foundations, who has been targeted by the system from which he brought large revenues to the coffers of the State,” said Stefanos Kasselakis to SYRIZA’s KO.
At the same time, the proposal that will be put to a vote includes the following changes: Giorgos Gavrilos, Yiannis Sarakiotis and Nina Kasimati are proposed for parliamentary representatives. Iota Poulou is proposed as coordinator of the sector heads and Rallia Christidou as deputy coordinator. On the contrary, Theodora Tzakri is the only one who is saved and remains in the position of K.O.’s secretary.
“Secretary of the Parliamentary Group remains Theodora Tzakri, who from the first moment she assumed this role has worked with endless endurance, and I thank her for her decisive contribution. The director of K.O remains Thanos Moraitis, who, for his part, works hard every day to resolve the issues that arise. For the positions of the three Parliamentary Representatives, I recommend Giorgos Gavrilos, Yiannis Sarakiotis and Nina Kasimati.
I propose Vassilis Kokkalis as Deputy Parliamentary Representative and Iota Poulos as EPEKE coordinator. Rallia Christidou remains the deputy coordinator of EPEKE. I wholeheartedly thank Theofilos Xanthopoulos and Dionysis Kalamatianos for their work since last October. I rely on them for maximum parliamentary efficiency”, added Stefanos Kasselakis.
