Sokratis Famellos<\/b> seems to have been caught out by his eagerness to seek unconditional cooperation with Alexis Tsipras<\/b>, with the result that he is now unwelcome both in the ELAS<\/b> and SYRIZA<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Socrates Famellos<\/b> has been in a very gloomy mood in recent days. Despite his proclamations, his courtship of Alexis Tsipras<\/b> isn\u2019t going so well, as the former prime minister has made it clear that he will only accept those he personally chooses from SYRIZA<\/b> into the Hellenic Police<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The worst part? Alexis Tsipras<\/b> is personally annoyed with Sokratis Famellos<\/b> because he believes he did not handle the dissolution of SYRIZA<\/b> properly, resulting in the chaos at Koumoundourou affecting ELAS<\/b> as well.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, while the former prime minister is distancing himself from most of his former allies for public relations reasons, the more people within SYRIZA<\/b> realize that Socrates Famellos<\/b> acted hastily, risking their political annihilation. The so-called minority faction, led by Polakis<\/b>, Pappas<\/b>, and Dourou<\/b>, is gradually becoming the majority as party officials defect to ELAS<\/b>, while many realize that, in the end, the president of SYRIZA<\/b> has trapped them.<\/p>\nFamellos\u2019s reactions and desperate attempts<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Already, 73 SYRIZA officials are calling for an emergency meeting of the party\u2019s Central Committee<\/b>, stating that the political landscape has changed and cooperation with ELAS<\/b> seems impossible. In fact, they emphasize that under these circumstances, collective decisions must be revised and SYRIZA<\/b> must proceed independently\u2014a move that amounts to a challenge to the leadership of Famellos<\/b>.<\/p>\n
According to reports, nearly all of Socrates Famellos<\/b>\u2019s close associates, with the exception of the party\u2019s new Central Committee secretary Anastasia Sapouna<\/b>, have clearly distanced themselves from the president. <\/p>\n
It won\u2019t be long, then, before Sokratis Famellos<\/b> can no longer remain at the helm of SYRIZA<\/b> as he will have lost his foothold within the party\u2019s governing bodies and will have no support from the other side\u2014that is, from the former prime minister. Currently, Pavlos Polakis<\/b> and Nikos Pappas<\/b> are waiting in the wings, already working behind the scenes to oust Socrates Famellos<\/b>.<\/p>\n
It was no coincidence that Famellos<\/b> stated that SYRIZA<\/b> would be present at the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair as a party as usual, as he tries to reconnect with the Polakis<\/b>\u2013Pappas<\/b> faction. But it\u2019s probably too late.<\/p>\n
The decisions have already been made; and in any case, there is no one in SYRIZA<\/b> who believes the party can stand up to Alexis Tsipras<\/b> under the current leadership. Most people are already assuming that by fall, SYRIZA<\/b> will have a new leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
