″My big intention was to open up the party structures so that the party has a real grounding in society. I don’t think it was good for all of us in SYRIZA, we didn’t know that we would have a 20% difference from the ND. We should have seen these social changes (…) The polyphony and confusion that prevailed in the party was to blame”, he tells HuffPost Greece the leader of SYRIZA Stefanos Kasselakis, explaining the causes of the last electoral defeat last summer, while at the same time turning against the ND and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:
″ND was also elected with lies for Tempi. For the montage, for the freight on the commercial train… SYRIZA should have had a positive campaign, a positive message, it should have been renewed, it should have produced progressive excellence against the false excellence of the ND and have a clear ideological stamp,” he says. Stefanos Kasselakis, and surpasses the percentage of 17% where the opinion polls show SYRIZA, setting a higher target for the party in the European elections:
“My goal is the overthrow. I really believe that on June 9 we can shock Greece. It is entirely possible, feasible, it is in our hands, it is in the hands of the world. The ballot box is empty. If we see in two weeks in the opinion polls that SYRIZA is at 20 and ND at 29, suddenly everyone will be saying this thing – let there be a coup! The last evidence I see in the field is a current.”
What does he answer about lifestyle and its relationship with religion?
″They are not used to a politician being authentic and honest and romantic etc. They are trying to play by the terms of the old system. That you have to be as you are, that you have to speak woodenly, that you cannot present your life-style. Why; Because if you present it, you won’t know how to start from 42 apartments. And where did you come from that we don’t know what the where is. How is half a billion euros paid in ND debt? Their interest is not to disturb the waters. Be sure that if what I am doing succeeds, many careers in politics in Greece will collapse. Many names that are based on mechanisms, bribery, pretense…” says the leader of SYRIZA, responding to reactions and questions caused by the revelation he made about his baptism and the sign of the cross, which was strongly commented by politicians and media.
At the same time he adds:I believe in God and I try to apply the values of Christianity in my life every day”. At the same time, he notes, “I want the State to treat any religion and those who are atheists equally. And I don’t want the confused role of Church – State, that has to change”.
Below, returning to the “Instagram politics” section, Mr. Kasselakis says that “Mitsotakis made a mess on Tik Tok after Tempi”. However, he acknowledges that “the law for same-sex couples is a first step. Ours was more complete, but every step forward is acceptable”.
In relation to the removal of Papanotas, a few days after the announcement of the SYRIZA European ballot, he notes that he took the decision from the first moment to remove himself from the SYRIZA ballot, but he was in America and wanted to return to talk with the partners to confirm the correctness of his personal decision.
