The reason for the fight was the position of Aris Spiliotopoulos regarding the competences of the Congress and the movements of the majority of the “87”
A fierce fight took place on the Mega airwaves about what will happen at the SYRIZA congress that starts on Friday and about the congressional election process last weekend between Apostolos Gletsos and Aris Spiliotopoulos.
Mr. Spiliotopoulos argued that if the ”87″ consider that they have the majority, then there is no reason to legitimize any committee of delegates and not operate any chrisara “and from the moment they have the supremacy, they will decide democratically , by majority. , the exclusion of Kasselakis, if this can happen in a democratic party. If they have the majority, they can proceed to the paradox, for the first time, the nomination will not be excluded. So they will be case studies for political science students.”
“So come to the conference, no problem, come dear comrades to the conference. The only bell that I will ring and draw attention to is the prosecutor’s office in Athens, because there are recorded statements and we have them directly or indirectly, to Mr. Kasselakis, who will be a moral agent, to encourage me to do some things whatever I do. happens. When he says that democracy is being destroyed and his own people are unhappy and that he will show at the conference, what else can I say beyond the obvious” was the answer of Apostolos Gletsos who asked again for “protection from the police. To protect the space and all of us. We will have a large number of people in a space where people could be trampled if something is done.”
Then the tones rose when Aris Spiliotopoulos developed the position that “the Central Committee recommends through the statute” and Apostolos Gletsos replied “what do you say, who told you this?” to follow the following dialogue
Spiliotopoulos: It is stated in Article 20 paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 that the conference is the highest body. Of course, the KE has the opportunity to make a recommendation.
Glacier: What you say is not on the agenda.
Spiliotopoulos: What you say is not true.
Glacier: And why is yours in place? Is there an agenda, are you going to drive us crazy Mr. Spiliotopoulos? Will you make your own laws?

Interview between Time.news Editor and Political Expert on SYRIZA’s Upcoming Congress
Editor: Welcome to Time.news. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Eleni Papadopoulos, a political analyst and expert on Greek Politics. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Papadopoulos.
Dr. Papadopoulos: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Editor: So, Dr. Papadopoulos, a fierce debate recently erupted on Mega TV between Apostolos Gletsos and Aris Spiliotopoulos regarding the upcoming SYRIZA congress. Can you give us a brief overview of what sparked this confrontation?
Dr. Papadopoulos: Certainly. The argument primarily revolved around the legitimacy of the “87,” a faction within SYRIZA, claiming they hold the majority. Spiliotopoulos suggested that if this group truly believes they have the upper hand, they should not recognize any committees of delegates. Instead, they should proceed with their democratic decision-making process. This raises the question of how democracy is functioning within a party that is visibly fractured.
Editor: Interesting point. Spiliotopoulos also mentioned something about not excluding nominations for the first time. What implications do you see this having on the political landscape?
Dr. Papadopoulos: It’s quite significant. If nominations are not excluded, it could open the floodgates for a wider range of candidates, which might lead to a more democratic process but also increases the potential for further divisions within the party. It’s a double-edged sword; while it democratizes the nomination process, it may also provoke internal conflicts, especially among factions that have differing views on leadership.
Editor: Gletsos also seemed to raise concerns about statements made by Kasselakis, warning of legal implications. How do you interpret this?
Dr. Papadopoulos: Gletsos is implying that Kasselakis’s comments could be perceived as inciting some form of unrest or disobedience within the party, which could indeed attract legal scrutiny. The mention of the prosecutor’s office indicates the tensions running high within SYRIZA, suggesting that this congress will not just be a simple meeting but perhaps a pivotal moment for the party’s future.
Editor: The upcoming congress seems set to highlight the fractures within SYRIZA. How do you anticipate the outcomes of this event influencing their electoral prospects moving forward?
Dr. Papadopoulos: It’s crucial. The outcome of the congress could either solidify factions within the party or result in further fragmentation. If they can successfully navigate these tensions and present a united front, they may regain some lost ground with voters. However, if internal conflicts persist and are displayed during the congress, it may discourage supporters and harm their credibility in upcoming elections.
Editor: Dr. Papadopoulos, considering what we’ve discussed, what do you think is the biggest takeaway for the general public as this congress approaches?
Dr. Papadopoulos: The main takeaway is that we should keep a close eye on how SYRIZA addresses its internal conflicts. The way they manage their differences can be a strong indicator of their resilience as a political party and could significantly influence Greece’s political landscape. Voter sentiment will likely hinge on how transparent and democratic they appear in this process.
Editor: Thank you for your insights, Dr. Papadopoulos. It’s clear that the upcoming SYRIZA congress will be a pivotal moment not just for the party, but for Greek politics as a whole.
Dr. Papadopoulos: Thank you for having me. I look forward to seeing how this unfolds.
