New ‘rockets’ A. Tsipras in SYRIZA: What will ‘presidents’ say, what are the others? I do not recognize ‘Trends’

By Niki Zorba

Alexis Tsipras continues unabated after the first shock he had in store in the internal party ecosystem on Sundayor to the Central Committee, to send messages within it. And very hard: I do not recognize the Trends, he said, for me these are a discussion of yesterday, I will proceed with the criterion of the ability and the possibility of composition.

Jointly, in the interview given to Olga Tremi (Newsbomb), the president of SYRIZA, took care to “inform” even more specifically his party, especially those who roam as “presidential” and claim their participation in critical decisions of SYRIZA today and the government tomorrow, if he is called upon to govern the party again tomorrow, that they are over.

The criteria of his choices, said Mr. Tsipras unequivocally, will be merit, the renewal of persons, the participation of women, the knowledge in the subject that they will be called to serve.

In terms of Greek-Turkish and Foreign Policy The president of SYRIZA once again accused the government and especially the prime minister that he decided on his own to change the dogma of the country that all governments serve from ’74 onwards, turning it into a “Papagou dogma: its advanced outpost West “, talking about huge dangers.

In this context, he said in detail about:

Greek-Turkish – Foreign Policy

We lack a national strategy without a beginning, a middle, an end. We always had challenges from Turkey, we responded but we had a strategy. Not ours. A strategy that all governments have had since ’74.

Greece, from the strategy of the pillar of security and peace, the strategy of Karamanlis, Papandreou, Simitis, K. Karamanlis, has now suddenly passed to the “strategy of Papagou: the advanced outpost of the West. Why did you stand, was this the strategy of our country?”

For the first time the country has a private foreign policy. Many times the Foreign Minister does not participate either, such as when he went to meet Erdogan, he turned to us and said “all is well we will have a calm summer” and now we are escalating a tension that we do not know where it will take us.

I have full confidence in the combat readiness of the armed forces but I am worried because we do not have a strategy and Erdogan appears as a “peacemaker” and a “defender”. Diplomatically, Turkey is winning, and we, as a given ally that implements American sanctions on European soil with what happened to the Russian ship and the Iranian oil, have never done it before.

Is not Greece European territory? Is it American? These have never happened before.

Weapons in Ukraine

We learn from Chancellor Soltz that he decides to give armor to Ukraine. We learned from the US Secretary of State that he will give more anti-tank weapons and now we learn that he also gives armor. Possible; There is no KYSEA, there are no Institutions? Is there no competent Parliamentary Committee? Does anyone know? The Greek people do not know? Should the Prime Minister make statements and say nothing and be nailed by the German Chancellor? He is deeply involved in a war, his decision to provide heavy weapons and armor carries risks.

Where will these armors go to go to Ukraine? From Evros and the islands? And when will they be replaced by the German ones? Why does Germany not give armor directly to Ukraine and give it through Greece? Because he does not want to get so involved in the war. But should we get involved?

Are we becoming a pawn in the geopolitical chessboard of other powers? Was this the foreign policy of the country? And these are one-person decisions and these decisions carry risks

Accuracy

The conditions of social crisis that we are experiencing today are worse than those at the beginning of 2010 when we had the memoranda because there is no hope for young people anymore, the salary is saved in the third week, debt inflation and accounts for businesses. and the EU makes all the wrong decisions.

SYRIZA

We can do much better for this and we made changes and renewal decisions that were difficult but bold.

SYRIZA is the largest party of the Left in Europe and when I say Left, I also include the Social Democracy.

I made the decision to impose a 50-50 quota on my partners for women and it was not easy because many felt wronged. I was very happy because it did not even have to be imposed. In the central committee, which for the first time in Greece, women were elected from the party base. At the KINAL conference I am looking to find women.

This choice I made for the party I will make for the government. It will have a “woman’s scent”.

I do not recognize teams, groupings and Trends in the way we will work from now on. I believe that SYRIZA has suffered a lot from the misunderstood democracy, because democracy is value and pluralism, but sometimes there is a distorted function. When a party makes decisions democratically, it must implement that decision from the first to the last. He was elected in these internal party elections by 150,000 members of which 110,000 are new members. They were registered on the day of the ballot box. And they were elected with a percentage of over 99%. So I do not understand what is the meaning and value of some to form a Tendency calling themselves “presidential”. Why are others what they are?

I believe that the most important thing that all the Trends and currents in the field of SYRIZA have to do, the greatest good that they have to do for the party, is either to be reformed or to be reconstituted or to abolish itself. To go forward together the next day by forming a party which will be the party of its members, in which there will be no groups and factions, in which there will be executives who will be worthy and will be democratically elected with a goal that is now out of the party: Winning the next election.

all will be exploited but not on the basis of ethnic origin or whether they are included in minorities or majorities. These are about yesterday.

Ef Tsakalotos

He is a very useful partner for me, he is a parliamentary representative, he played a very important role in the previous government and I consider myself a partner regardless of whether he belongs or he will want to belong to minorities, majorities, in the center, in the Left, in the Right of the party. Honestly, I do not care.

Rania Svigkou

I know her dedication, her honesty and her abilities. It is the choice that can combine these elements, the element of unity and composition. Moderate – never opposed to enlargement but the idea of ​​moving to change with more caution. The combination of her presence with G. Vassiliadis and all the choices that have been made inspires confidence that they will work in the near future with this guide.

I asked both of them not to be candidates for parliament with a cross, entering competition in the next elections and I clarified that they will not be in the next government.

Government figure

The next government should have the scent of a woman, the element of renewal and should also have the element of society. More representatives of the Society.

What will “technocrats” say? The term sounds a bit bad. We will not put Bankers in the Government but we will put people who have knowledge but also empathy of the social reality. Having knowledge is something very important.

Of the young people who took the risk of becoming ministers in the previous government, I was most positively surprised. Two examples are Efi Ahtsioglou and Alexis Haritsis. You will see many such cases in the next government, depending of course on how many parties will participate in it.

Elections

Elections will be held in the fall because the government is in a whirlwind as its decisions act as accelerators of crisis and accuracy. In order to prevent the collapse, he may have to use the timing to go to the polls. That is my feeling.

The Mitsotaki Government has no prospects and the Prime Minister himself knows this. The elections will be by simple proportional representation, in fact it does not have the possibility to co-govern with another party. It has a double ballot strategy. We have a strategy from the first ballot box to form a government to relieve the citizens.

As long as Mr. Mitsotakis delays the elections, he blames his own defeat but also lays down mines the next day.

EU

It makes decisions that aggravate and widen the crisis, bringing negative developments. Like the decision to continue the embargo on Russian oil.

N. Androulaki

Alas, Mr. Androulakis will not make Tsipras Prime Minister, alas. The Greek people will do it.

It has sent negative messages about the prospect of a progressive government, both from the restoration of faces and from expressions that are offensive to an entire world, not to us. But I insist that we need an allied, progressive government.

“Burnt land”

I have no doubt that SYRIZA will win. What makes me not sleep is what we will receive. They eat from the ready and follow recipes that led us to the bankruptcy from which the SYRIZA government is the one that took us out.

The next day scares me because Mr. Mitsotakis leaves chaos in the country’s finances and in the international position.
