«Any attempt by Alexis Tsipras will be judged first and foremost by the programme he will emit in relation to what the social majority needs after the disastrous six years of Mitsotakis», Pavlos Polakis wrote in a Facebook post, who earlier at the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA disagreed with the «line» of Socrates Famellos to join forces with former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who resigned from the party.
«What I have heard so far (very few and generalised) at a programmatic level from Alexis Tsipras, for example, about a “shipowners” fund» does not inspire me!", he stresses.
«I was and will be SYRIZA-PS and I call on everyone to clarify their position», he said, addressing other members who he accused of «going on TV as if they were “press representatives” of the new party, being SYRIZA MPs».»
The Polakis post:
«Because I see a lot of «leaks» that have nothing to do with reality from the WG meeting, what I said is this:
1) I do not consider Alexis Tsipras' resignation as a positive development for SYRIZA, which has gone through two splits recently and has gone to balance after the last presidential elections and the recent congress where we formulated a clear programme of left-wing progressive changes, on which we called and we call on all democratic forces to take a stand. Objectively, Alexis Tsipras' resignation splits and weakens SYRIZA and what it has so far come up with and proposed as a discourse and tactic.
2) I personally refused to give any interviews before the Political Secretariat and I don't like to see people going on TV as if they are “spokesmen” of the new party, being SYRIZA MPs. Enough!!!!
3) I think that everyone and it goes without saying that any attempt by Alexis Tsipras will be judged first of all and above all by the programme he will emit in relation to what the social majority needs after the disastrous six years of Mitsotakis. SYRIZA has a programme formulated at the congress and with an analysis of its axes recently at the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair by Socrates Famellos, and on this basis it invites everyone and first and foremost the Greek people.
4)What I have heard so far (very few and general) on a programmatic level from Alexis Tsipras, for example, about “shipowners” fund" does not inspire me!
5) Obviously there are no messiahs, but a collective effort and a popular movement that will not change anything if it does not move! That is why we continue the irreconcilable struggle against the interconnection and the fall of the Mitsotakis parastate on the basis of the positions we have reached. I was and will be SYRIZA-PS and I call on everyone to clarify their position.
We continue the uncompromising fight against the interconnection and the fall of the Mitsotakis parastate based on the positions we have reached». .
