The SYRIZA has been steaming in recent days, with rumours that Alexis Tsipras will announce his new party very soon, something that is already causing turmoil in the leadership Famellos.
Alexis Tsipras is to hold his first political event in Chalandri, which will move away from the presentation of Ithaca and focus on the new project. All the executives who are going to follow him, at least from Attica, plan to attend.
According to reports in recent days and on the occasion of the above event, Koumoundourou is receiving group letters of resignation from executives of the northern Attica sector of SYRIZA. It was no coincidence that Kosta Zachariadis, a former candidate for SYRIZA in the northern sector, stated that the party should roll down the blinds and join the Tsipras party that is being created.
Of course, not all members share Zachariadis statement, as the Polakis side knows that they are not welcome in the Tsipras party. Beyond that, however, the resignation letters have raised alarm among the Syriza leadership.
Many of the resigning executives say they are doing so for moral reasons, as they cannot be in two parties at the same time. Implying that those who attend the event have definitively cut their bridges with Syriazas.
Socrates Famelos has in recent days begun meeting with party MPs, trying to trace their intentions. Many of them are determined to follow the former prime minister, such as Miltos Zambaras and Alexandros Meikopoulos.
There are rumours that the latter have already agreed with the former prime minister, as he wants them in important positions in the new party. On the other hand, there have been MPs who have expressed reservations, mainly about whether Alexis Tsipras wants the whole K.O. of Syriza in his new party, but also about its political direction, as there is disagreement about the persons who have taken up positions in the former prime minister’s institute.
However, Socrates Famellos himself did not open his cards to anyone. It is obvious that the Syriza leadership is in confusion about the future, at the same time that Alexis Tsipras is preparing to split his former party once again.
