According to information, it is about Olga Gerovasili. It is noted that the name of Mrs. Gerovasilis had fallen on the table of internal party discussions during the week, during the meeting of the Political Secretariat in order to assume the role of interim president in the event that a proposal of impeachment against Stefanos Kasselakis was made by the Central Committee.
Among the names heard were, apart from Olga Gerovasilis, Sokratis Famellos, Dionysis Teboneras, Nikos Pappas, and even Nikolas Farandouris and Pavlos Polakis.
In fact, today Kostas Zachariadis, when asked if there is any person who could stand up to Stefanos Kasselakis and if Mrs. Gerovasilis is a person who can compose and play a role the next day, the executive of the Political Secretary replied ” In my opinion, yes, Mrs. Olga Gerovasili can”, noting, however, that she is not indicating anything to anyone.
It is also worth noting a snapshot before the Kasselakis speech, when the president of SYRIZA entered the conference and chose not to greet Dionysis Teboneras and Olga Gerovasilis.
It is recalled that Sokratis Famellos is the head of SYRIZA’s KO, while Dionysis Teboneras clashed fiercely with Stefanos Kasselakis at the last meeting of the Political Secretariat, while it was revealed that after the episode the president of the party had requested the dismissal of Dionysis Teboneras from his position scientific partner of the SYRIZA Committee.
The date that is considered the favorite to set up polls again to elect a president in SYRIZA is March 10, because, according to the statute, two weeks must pass. In fact, there are both time pressure data. Firstly, Stefanos Kasselakis has stated that in mid-March he will report to Avlonas to fulfill his military obligations, unless he gets a postponement, and secondly, the European elections are close.
His drama SYRIZA it continued yesterday, the first day of the 4th Congress, and the episodes are still many. Standing, with a microphone, as if in a lecture in front of an audience… multinational, the Stefanos Kasselakis picked up the glove thrown to him by Alexis Tsipras and announced that after the Congress he is appealing to the base of SYRIZA, the members and friends of the party, to be re-elected himself and to elect a new Central Committee and new prefectural organizations.
Mr. Kasselakis, having no other move on the internal party chessboard, after the intervention of Tsipras, threw his last die yesterday. He declared war on Alexis Tsipras and on the whole of SYRIZA’s past, opposing almost all the top executives. And he promised that if this move succeeds, he will set up a party from scratch, with new resumes and a statutory conference in the fall.
“Find me an opponent and go to the polls,” he said challenging his critics. “Those who believed that I was planted in the leadership of SYRIZA will now see my own roots. I appeal to my roots: the members and the world of SYRIZA. With a complete road map for re-election, re-establishment and re-establishment of SYRIZA as a ruling faction. As the only answer to a rotten, corrupt and convoluted political system. No one is holding me back. Only the world. The people who stood in the queues. And he will stand again, to have a voice and hope. I am here. I am standing. I’m ready. Let’s finish with the small ones in order to face the big ones, Mitsotakis’ Right. Find me an opponent. Find me an opponent and let’s go”, said Mr. Kasselakis to the applause of the majority of the delegates and with the party executives in the front rows visibly worried and worried about what is coming.
For the first time, Mr. Kasselakis launched a fierce attack against Alexis Tsipras in a “smart” way. When referring to his name, e.g. about the intra-party attacks he received when he was president, he spoke only positively. But there were many more times when Mr. Kasselakis pointed the finger at Alexis Tsipras and the leaders of SYRIZA, referring to those who are to blame for the downfall of the party.
“They ask me to account for the bad opinion polls, when they never accounted for the fall of SYRIZA from 32% to 18%,” he characteristically said, in a peak that everyone saw in it the face of Alexis Tsipras. “Other parties are looking for messiahs. Not the Left! Not the progressive faction. The Messiahs are over. What is not over is the democratic parties that elect their leadership and trust it”, continued Mr. Kasselakis, who several times – taking advantage of the “slanderers” who were near him as part of the audience – tried to emphasize that the people voted for him, people support him, he is only interested in his relationship with the people and things like that.
“I will not let anyone mine the road. The road has been opened. It has been walked and I will not allow anyone, no matter how high he is, to mine this road of great change” was another point against Alexis Tsipras, while he was insulting and insulting to the executives of the New Left, whom he initially accused as “disruptors who did not respect Alexis Tsipras” and then accused that they are preparing to collude with PASOK and turn the seats they got with the votes of SYRIZA into “green seats”.
“They are putting European election deadlines on a president elected with 56% four months ago. And they are waiting for my failure, forgetting the simple lessons of Political History that the people of SYRIZA delivered four months ago”, he said defiantly, looking at the officers of the Political Secretariat in the first rows, which he ostentatiously passed and did not greet (Socrates Famello, Olga Gerovasili, Dionysis Tebonera et al.) when he entered the Conference room.
SUDDEN INTERVENTION
Tsipras “ousted” Kasselakis
A few hours before the start of the Congress, Alexis Tsipras made a move that trapped Stefanos Kasselakis and forced him to go to internal party elections to re-elect him from the grassroots.
As the director of the project we have been watching for seven months and acting all this time in the background, Alexis Tsipras intervened to push things into an internal party clearing-up, hoping to “eat” Kasselakis, who has not gelled with the Greek common opinion. He therefore accused his successor of seeking a “three-year blank cheque” regardless of the outcome of the European elections, which, as he says, “discounts an electoral failure”. At the same time, Mr. Tsipras also left serious points against the executives who left SYRIZA to form the New Left, but at this stage his target is Stefanos Kasselakis, even if some in the new president’s staff insisted that with the his intervention Alexis Tsipras facilitates the plans of Stefanos Kasselakis.
Earlier, it had become known that Stefanos Kasselakis had fired Dionysis Tebonera as a scientific associate of K.O. of the party, not yesterday but the day he went to that political event with the theme “Who is against Mitsotakis?”, together with Efi Ahtsioglou and Manolis Christodoulakis.
“DO ELEMENTARY SELF-CRITICISM”
Wild attack Tsakalotou to Tsipras
Yesterday, not only Stefanos Kasselakis answered Alexis Tsipras. Euklidis Tsakalotos also answered, and this is an indication that the old and the new SYRIZA are entering a phase of settling accounts that have been pending for years.
“No, my Alexis, we didn’t leave because we lost. We left because we saw the depletion of our party, and who can argue with the current situation in SYRIZA that we were not justified by this choice. And this did not start with Kasselakis, who at least is right when he says that if we had a solid party he would not have won. It started on the night of the 2019 elections, when you announced to our party that you would change everything, the moment we got 31.5%, an impressive percentage after the implementation of the Memorandum”, wrote Mr. Tsakalotos in his lengthy post, responding to the spikes that Alexis Tsipras left in his intervention against him and against all those who formed the New Left.
And he concluded: “Well, before you “analyze” the reasons why some of us left, why don’t you start with a basic self-criticism? It would be a good start!”
