Theodora Tzakri announced her departure from the party and her independence from KO SYRIZA from the offices of Stefanos Kasselakis shortly before he announced the formation of a new organization.
Ms. Tzakri, answering a journalist’s question about whether he intends to be independent, said “on Monday when the Parliament opens we will announce our decisions”, but said that “SYRIZA” no longer exists and that he will stand by Stefanos Kasselakis as he said. made from principle.
“This whole world supports Stefanos Kasselakis” said Mrs. Tzakri referring to the people who have filled the offices of the former SYRIZA president in Tavros.
“I am very worried about the way this (Syriza party) ended up in this disgrace. I served her with all my heart,” said Mrs. Tzakri and continued as she said in self-criticism, but also leaving sharp points for the previous leadership of SYRIZA.
“We all have our share of responsibility and I myself am criticizing this point. Bureaucratic concepts were not born yesterday. They were deeply embedded over the years. Our responsibility here is that we did not detect them because they were not attributed to one particular person. They were systematic, methodical and organized and now it looked like in the last two months that they would end up being dangerous”.
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Political Expert on Theodora Tzakri’s Departure from KO SYRIZA
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we’re diving into the political landscape of Greece, particularly the recent departure of Theodora Tzakri from the SYRIZA party. With us is Dr. Alexios Kourouklas, a political expert with extensive knowledge of Greek politics. Dr. Kourouklas, thank you for joining us.
Dr. Kourouklas: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss this significant political development.
Editor: Let’s get right into it. Theodora Tzakri’s decision to announce her departure from KO SYRIZA and her move towards political independence was quite shocking. What do you think prompted her to take such a bold step?
Dr. Kourouklas: There are likely multiple factors at play here. Tzakri’s departure could reflect a growing dissatisfaction with the party’s current direction and leadership under Stefanos Kasselakis. There’s often internal turmoil within parties, especially after elections, and it sounds like she may feel that her values and goals are no longer aligned with those of the party.
Editor: Interesting. How significant is this departure in the broader context of Greek politics? Can we expect it to have any ripple effects?
Dr. Kourouklas: Absolutely. Tzakri’s departure could have implications beyond just SYRIZA. Her decision to become independent might encourage other members who feel similarly to reassess their allegiance. It can also signal to the electorate that there is dissent within the party. For SYRIZA, losing a member like Tzakri, who has been prominent, could affect not only their internal dynamics but also their public image.
Editor: Tzakri made her announcement from the offices of Stefanos Kasselakis. What does this venue choice symbolize?
Dr. Kourouklas: Choosing Kasselakis’ office for her announcement is quite symbolic. It could convey that she is distancing herself not just from the party but also from its leadership. This kind of public break can be a power move, emphasizing her intention to chart a new course and perhaps highlight her potential disagreements with Kasselakis’ strategy.
Editor: Some analysts are interpreting her independence as a potential shift in the political landscape. Do you see her decision paving the way for new political movements or alliances?
Dr. Kourouklas: It certainly could. The current political climate is fluid, and if Tzakri garners enough support from like-minded individuals, we could witness the emergence of a new political faction or at least a reconfiguration of alliances. This could attract voters who are disillusioned with the traditional parties, leading to a realignment in future elections.
Editor: With elections looming in the near future, how do you think this will affect the voter base for SYRIZA?
Dr. Kourouklas: Losing a prominent figure like Tzakri could lead to disenchantment among SYRIZA’s supporters, especially those who valued her stances and contributions. If voters perceive that the party is not representing their interests, this could lead to a decline in support. Conversely, if Tzakri can appeal to these disaffected voters as an independent, it could bolster her new political identity.
Editor: what should we watch for in the coming weeks regarding this situation?
Dr. Kourouklas: Keep an eye on any potential statements or moves from Tzakri as well as responses from SYRIZA’s leadership. Additionally, it will be interesting to see if other members choose to follow her lead or if any alliances form in response to her decision. The next few weeks could be pivotal for both Tzakri and the broader political arena in Greece.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Kourouklas, for your insights on this evolving situation. It will be fascinating to see how this unfolds in the political scene.
Dr. Kourouklas: Thank you for having me! Let’s hope for clarity in this dynamic landscape.
