Ilias Kanellis describes his impressions of Alexis Tsipras’s famous manifesto.
A few days ago the Alexis Tsipras Institute published a text – manifesto, which is mainly signed by Giorgos Siakantaris, with some ideological airs aimed at being the template for the party under creation. Ilias Kanellis read it and expressed his opinion on Stamatis Zacharou‘s show.
According to the well-known journalist, Alexis Tsipras tried to create a kind of statute for the new political movement he is preparing but no one was left wiser because he neither said anything new nor anything specific. However, reading the ideas he expressed, he claimed that it could well be a “cheerleader if it wasn’t so depressing.”
Apparently he calls it depressing because despite the expensive rebranding, Alexis Tsipras, fatal to the country, doesn’t seem to have changed while instead defending his old mistakes and continuing to be in an ideological haze.
As the journalist said, the former prime minister is only trying with this text to inspire his old comrades and give them a political footing, a carpet as he calls it, for those who want to follow him to step on. In other words, Alexis Tsipras is giving them the excuse to declare their support for these ideas and therefore for him, and he is obviously addressing those with whom he has already made a cooperation agreement.
Ilias Kanellis, speaking about the essence of what the famous text says, says that it is not a single ideological reference but “tweaks” various quotes and scattered slogans of the Left to move his old audience. That is, an Alexis Tsipras same and unchanging and a project of harpa glue.
However, in general, what the former prime minister says so far does not seem to be addressed to society as a whole but to a very narrow audience, which is now scattered along many different political paths.
Here is the video of the relevant interview:
