Paul Polakis launched a blistering attack on Famello and Tsipras, gave a ten-day ultimatum and spoke of “trousers down” and a “bastardly situation” in Syriza.
Polakis patch: “Because Tsipras resigned, should the universe drop its pants?”
In particularly high tones, Paulos Polakis took a stand, directly questioning the SYRIZA leadership’s attitude towards Alexis Tsipras‘s political move, leaving accusations of behind-the-scenes collusion.
The MP for Chania argued that either there is already some agreement that neither side admits publicly, or the decision of the Central Committee constitutes “a show of servility.”
At the sharpest point of his intervention, Polakis asked: “Because Tsipras resigned, should the universe resign, drop its pants and go?“, dismissing the possibility that Syriza could unconditionally adapt its strategy to the former prime minister’s moves.
Outcome to Famello – Bring agreement in 10 days
Paulos Polakis called on Socrates Famello to immediately present the data of contacts with Alexis Tsipras‘s political initiative, even setting a specific timeframe.
“Famellos must bring agreement with Tsipras and tell us what is being done,” he said, adding that public support for one party by the head of another cannot be done without prior negotiation and programmatic understanding.
At the same time, he warned that if there were no clear answers in the next ten days, “this bastard situation cannot continue,” calling for a meeting of the Political Secretariat and the Central Committee to reassess the facts.
Fire on the polls and call for a front of the Left
The MP for Chania also blamed the leadership team of SYRIZA for the polls image of the party, stressing that no convincing explanation has not been given for the significant drop in its ratings.
At the same time, he reiterated his proposal for a united ballot of the forces of the left and the broader democratic party, in case there is no agreement with Alexis Tsipras‘s political move.
Polakis issued an invitation to the former prime minister’s party, the New Left, Mera25, KKE, Prato and ecological movements for a broad programmatic agreement, arguing that the crucial issue is not who will lead, but agreement on specific policy positions and goals.
