Yesterday, the former minister, Christos Spirtzis, spoke to Attica TV, distancing himself from the choice of Koumoundourou, regarding the position of SYRIZA regarding the submission of a memorandum to the Areopagus for the Spartans.
As he said, “the law failed, because they were not blocked when they should have been and they are in the parliament and we are living all these disgraceful things, embarrassing for all the democrats, for the Greek citizens that we lived”. “And because I don’t hide my words, I think that either a party consciously, because it doesn’t believe in this law, doesn’t file an objection, or if it wants to file, it shows that organizationally at least it doesn’t have a well-organized function, like this,” said the ex Ministeradding that “I speak for my party”.
Regarding her extreme right, “don’t let the ND connect SYRIZA, it’s a joke, with such schemes or logic” he commented and explained about the ND amendment that “if it was effective, the Spartans, the other face of the Golden Dawn, would not be in Parliament”. “Obviously, SYRIZA’s attitude of not voting for this amendment is justified. And I believe that he was vindicated with the stance he took on the ND amendment, because if the provision proposed by us, the Spartans through the decision of the Supreme Court, had been adopted, they would not have participated in the previous national elections and this is very important. We would not serve the logic of the two ends of the ND in any case”, as he emphasized.
For whether o SYRIZA descends on the European elections with a central political narrative, o Christos Spirtzis described that “these are issues that we will discuss, when and whenever the competent bodies of our party, that is, the Central Committee of SYRIZA, meet. Now we are in the battle.” “I consider that the European elections showdown has not taken on the characteristics it should have taken and this is not the responsibility of SYRIZA alone, it is also of SYRIZA, that is, we are not discussing politically about the European elections, about the political implications, if you like, that the conservative politics and the conservative forces within the European Union”, he noted.
We see politics receding from lifestyle
According to the former minister, “here we see a ‘war’ being waged on minor issues, if you will, in my view, politics giving way to lifestyle also by the majority of parties going to the polls and I think this has led too many people to be disillusioned.” “So, what I see and what worries me is that the progressive world, the democratic world of the country will be able to constitute, I have said this many times, the alternative proposal for governing the country and how this will be implemented,” he observed.
Concerning polls, “I think that with the correlations we see in the polls, this is probably not possible with the existing political system, as it is. Nevertheless, with what the president of SYRIZA has said and I think after participating in the presentation of the European ballot and Alexis Tsipras, the goals are very high, which means that we claim that the gap with the ND should be slightly reduced and that it should be SYRIZA first”, he concluded.
