The resignation of Famellos from the leadership of SYRIZA is expected to be explicitly requested by Polakis<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Sokratis Famellos\u2019s decision to put SYRIZA on the path of Alexis Tsipras<\/b> has sparked controversy at Koumoundourou, with the leadership appearing completely out of touch with the party base. The atmosphere is heavy, and the dissent against the president is no longer hidden behind diplomatic phrasing.<\/p>\n
Pavlos Polakis, leading this internal party counterattack, issued a clear ultimatum<\/b>, making it clear that this peculiar situation cannot continue for long. The issue of resignation of Famellos or a radical change of course is expected to be raised urgently, most likely by the end of the week, with the Chania-born politician not being the only one pushing things to the limit.<\/b><\/p>\n
Top officials are on exactly the same wavelength, such as Nikos Pappas<\/b> and Rena Dourou<\/b>, who view the leadership\u2019s latest moves with intense skepticism. The criticism centers on the fact that SYRIZA appears to be ceding its political autonomy \u201cby default\u201d without clear terms.<\/b><\/p>\n
Pavlos Polakis has made very clear jabs, implying that behind closed doors there is a secret agreement between Socrates Famellos and Alexis Tsipras,<\/b> which no one admits publicly, but which is reflected in SYRIZA\u2019s current course.<\/p>\n
For many at Koumoundourou, this stance resembles an incomprehensible capitulation<\/b>, which completely weakens the party and turns it into a satellite. What experienced political observers point out is that Socrates Famellos\u2019s current stance raises serious questions about how, as the leader of a party that governsthe country, he chooses to hand over the keys and seek convergence with a political entity whose leader repeatedly lets it be known that he does not want SYRIZA officials in his new venture.<\/p>\n
This image of one-sided attachment<\/b>, with absolutely no reciprocity, creates a sense of deadlock and undermines the party\u2019s prestige in the eyes of its voters, who see the faction heading toward inevitable self-destruction.<\/p>\nHe doesn\u2019t want them, he doesn\u2019t want them<\/b><\/h3>\n
The situation became even more provocative when, speaking on the party radio station \u201cSto Kokkino,\u201d Socrates Famellos attempted to justify the unjustifiable.<\/b> With rhetoric full of vague clich\u00e9s, he spoke of the Left\u2019s reconstruction, of unity, and of political consistency, describing Tsipras\u2019s initiative as positive, without substantively addressing what would happen if the former prime minister continues to refuse to even \u201csee them in a painting.\u201d<\/p>\n
No one can understand the way the president of SYRIZA conducts politics anymore, because at the very moment he sees his party falling apart, he labels the surrender of arms as \u201cpolitical consistency\u201d and submission as \u201cunity.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
For many, this is political ostrichism, which insults the party\u2019s history and infuriates the rank and file, as the \u201crecomposition\u201d he invokes looks more like a blank check to the Hellenic Police and the complete collapse of SYRIZA.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Famellos was harsh with dissenters, stating clearly that they lost in the Central Committee, while also pointing out that every other proposal for a Plan B was defeated, while his own proposal achieved a clear victory.<\/p>\n
However, according to reliable sources, a large number of Central Committee members are expected to submit their resignations within the next 24 hours, heading toward Tsipras\u2019s party. <\/b>The wave of departures will not stop there, as the same sources report that we are also very close to seven to ten MPs becoming independent.<\/p>\n
Socrates Famellos finds himself caught between his stubborn choice to indirectly support Tsipras\u2019s venture and the intense internal rebellion that threatens to strip him of control of the party in the near future. If by the end of the week there is no clear, public agreement that safeguards the dignity and integrity of SYRIZA, the conflict will be total.<\/p>\n
Finally, at the risk of the\u2026 athlete getting burned during the warm-up, the head of the Hellenic Police began a tour, starting with today\u2019s event in Nikaia<\/b>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
