The majority of the executives appear to agree with the request of the political opponents of SYRIZA that Mr. Kasselakis make public now and not in June where he came from, while those within SYRIZA who do not believe that everything is clear with the business activities are increasing with geometric progress of the president.
The most experienced consider that the continuation of this debate without answers from the side of SYRIZA adds to the negatives and the opacity of the party’s finances, while they estimate that if the new representative of the party Voula Kehagia he has nothing new to say, he’d better stop his TV appearances. They say, for example, that the phrase “everyone knows who Stefanos Kasselakis is and where he comes from” has backfired, as it proved ineffective, substandard and instead of shutting down the debate as it was intended to, made it a central issue in political current affairs.
They also admit that the case has become unmanageable for SYRIZA, since Mr. Kasselakis was forced to admit that he owns more than one company abroad. This was the cause of the dozens of publications, as well as the political confrontation that followed, where N.D., PASOK and New Left put enormous pressure on Koumoundourou asking for answers, but instead of answers there are announcements without substance and an unsuccessful attempt to distract.
The fact that the whole affair is causing a lot of damage to the profile of the president and yet it is being handled only by the SYRIZA communications staff, with the vast majority of executives and MPs refraining from defending the party president, is indicative of the prevailing situation inside.
The entire management is not characterized as incomplete or naive as the last argument of SYRIZA, as expressed by Ms. Kehagia to Action24, is that Mr. Kasselakis has transferred all of his companies or corporate holdings. Without mentioning when, to which companies, to what kind of companies and who are the persons to whom they have been transferred.
Also, the commitment that Mr. Kasselakis will file the statement of his whereabouts next June does not necessarily involve publication, as everyone is asking.
MESSAGE
The “Free Press” has long informed its readers about a new agreement that Stefanos Kasselakis has concluded with Nikos Pappa and Pavlos Polakis with effect until the next national elections, but yesterday, the closest associate of Alexis Tsipras, Thanasis Karteros, sent a clear message to the new leadership group of the party that the result of the European elections will decide whether or not Mr. Kasselakis will continue at the helm.
In his article in “Avgi”, Mr. Karteros comments on Mr. Kasselakis’ personal promotion tactics and says that many leftists feel uncomfortable, but the ones who will judge whether this strategy is effective or not are the SYRIZA voters in the European elections .
