“It will mainly be mid-level officials who leave, so they can freely support Tsipras’s party,” explained the journalist, Angeliki Spanou, referring to the defections from SYRIZA to EL.A.S. of Alexis Tsipras.

In this context, the journalist, Angeliki Spanou also mentioned the upcoming reassignment of Kostas Zachariadis following his removal from the position of SYRIZA’s press spokesperson. “Kostas Zachariadis tried to push his own position. His position was more extreme—that SYRIZA should not run in the elections and that this should be stated publicly,” the journalist said. “That’s the other paradox: Famellos has not stated this—that SYRIZA will not run in the elections. SYRIZA, which is disappearing from the polls, is at 1%,” noted the journalist, Angeliki Spanou.
