“They want a silencer for the voice of the members and I want to put a megaphone on them,” said SYRIZA MP Theodora Tzakri, referring to the cases related to the postponement of the SYRIZA Congress scheduled for November.
He added that if something like this happens, it will be a “diversion” that will be reported. Speaking to OPEN, she emphasized what Stefanos Kasselakis said “he is definitely a candidate and will be elected from the first Sunday”.
“Where do these machinations stop? It is a big downfall for SYRIZA that Marinakis, who serves the humiliated team state in Europe, comes and criticizes us. Shouldn’t the downward spiral of democratic decisions be stopped?” he asked.
Regarding the events outside the Central Committee, the SYRIZA MP spoke of “insignificant events in light of the history of the two conflicts. Mr. Kasselakis, if he wanted and did what the instigators accuse him of, would have 5,000 comrades in Karaiskaki Square. I think the tension is of secondary importance.”
When asked about Pavlos Polakis, Theodora Tzakri said that “he probably wants to exclude Stefanos Kasselakis because he sent his people to the Central Committee”.
Regarding the refusal of the members of the KE who support Kasselakis to take part in Saturday’s meeting, he said that “there is a correlation between this particular body that has been lost by most of our base. There was one way to prevent Kasselakis’ candidacy from being excluded, and that was the lack of a quorum.”
