Stefanos Katselakis’ presidential guard

He has entered the final cleanup phase. Radical Alliance-Progressive Alliance In view of the Constituent Assembly in early October next year and the redeployment of party troops. Stefanos KatselakisAs he heads into his first year as leader of the left-wing Syriza party, he faces the specter of a third split. If it happens, a development that is likely, this time it will be louder because it will involve people with close political ties to former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

The last coordinated move of the “87” group, the so-called “Tsipras blockade”, has activated the response of the Katselakis group

Katselakis fully understands the party relations, organizes and tries to maintain a solid alliance with conservative figures. Moreover, without them, the upcoming congress will not walk healthily in the fertile party valley.

even The case of Pavlos Poulakis is under review as the current leadership team understands that its power would be weakened without the Cretan politician Much of the same, in fact, given the conference, which will decide a lot not only about the future of Syriza but also about the future of Mr. Kasehlakis himself.

The last coordinated campaign of the “87” group, the so-called “Tsipras blockade”, in which executives such as Olga Gerovasili played a central role, activated the response of the Katselakis group that was being organized.

Stefanos Kasselakis saw that this pressure was being applied and would intensify on the way to the meeting, he still had some influential executives around him, such as Nikos Pappas, Reina Duru, Secretary Rania Svegu, but even Pavlos Polakis, despite his recent removaland a group of young cadres who supported him in the recent “battles” between the Political Secretariat and the Central Committee.

The role of father

Nikos Pappa appeared next to St. Caselachi, who is important because the former minister has influence in parts of Syriza, which is crucial for the party president to maintain his supremacy in the party. “We support Katherakis” In various tones, Pappas insisted during the conversation that the recent political decision of the Central Committee stipulates that the party will move forward in an organized manner.

The former minister said that the Radical Left Alliance will hold statutory meetings, complete the transformation (digital operation, regional organization, universal participation of members at all levels, full use of every executive, etc.), and will work to strengthen and open the door to a grand electoral alliance with progressive forces. Then, according to him, the role of the Radical Left Alliance-PS is that of an independent and powerful party, which will serve as a leader and driving force with the goal of building a progressive electoral alliance.

Douro’s support

Reina Duru supports Mr. Kassellakis and will not play games to destabilize him or participate in discussions about his future without him in the leadership. It supports the view that Syriza-PS, as the official opposition, is a rallying pillar of democratic, progressive forces based on a documented, credible program of alternative government.

“This rally is too serious for the future of our country to become the domain of personal strategy and party egos” He used to say and at the same time put forward the point that the unity of progressive forces is not announced in party offices, nor prepared behind the scenes, but is confronted and combined openly, at the bottom of society, elsewhere. Above all, it is necessary to avoid the scenario of party liquidation that would perpetuate Mitsotakis’ power.

He insisted in a rather factional manner that “We need neither ‘casserists’ nor ‘anti-casserists’, but rather those who have demonstrated in practice that the history of left-wing democrats is about the recruitment of policies, not people.”

Pollaki Shield

“Polakis is a top executive of Syriza and this is non-negotiable” St. said a few days ago that Katselakis, despite being expelled from the parliamentary group. P. Polakis knew very well that the chairman of Syriza needed him to attend this meeting, and according to him, senior executives such as Olga Gerovasili, Kostas Zachariadis should attend this meeting. “Go buy a sweater”, Hinting that it will be an uphill battle.

Since this intra-party process will be a battle of survival for Stefanos Katselakis himself, P. Polakis is necessary at his side, as he has a huge influence on the party base, the representative groups and the KE. From the discussions behind the scenes, it can be seen that this actually means Mr. Polakis will not be deleted from the team, so the semi-deletion will not be completed.This is what executives like Olga Gerovasilis and Kostas Zachariadis requested, but it will also return to KO, not before the TIF in mid-September, but at the end of the month, just before the meeting.

Sverigu Party

Party Secretary Rania Svigou chose to support St. Petersburg Katselakis. R. Svigou showed party patriotism by insisting during the discussion that the struggle is not within Syriza, but outside, against the New Democracy government and Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and in this sense the president-elect must continue to be supported by all means.

Support Group

Stefanos Katselakis not only relies on the names of the above executives, but also expands his supporters Both in the party and in the KO. In addition to his regular adviser, MP Admiral Evangelos Apostolakis, his allies include KO Theodora Tzakris, Vassilis Kokkalis, George Karameros, Nina Kasimati, Rallia Christidou, Petros Pappa, Costas Barkas, Yannis Sarakiotis, and former MPs such as the director of KO, Menots Moraitis.

Farmelo’s Script

In this introverted and fiercely competitive atmosphere, debates within the party still dominate over whether and when Sokratis Famellos will be replaced by the leader of the KO, despite the fact that it was the cadres, along with N. Pappas, who allowed him to continue in the leadership position in the face of challenges during the recent meetings.

This scenario was already circulating before the European elections, but it intensified in the middle of the month, especially the day after the recent European Commission meeting and in the shadow of the discussion about the “black fund”, which also angered Alexis Tsipras. In fact, before Mr. Kacellakis appeared at the TIF, there were discussions about his successor, including the names of Ev. Apostolakis, N. Pappas and Rena Douros, which for many was an ideal case.
