For his attitude Alexis Tsipras, its operation SYRIZA Progressive Alliance from now on, the minority's objections to the party's future, but also its assets spoke to the "In Red", the President of Syriza PS, Socrates Famelos.
With a fresh decision of the Central Committee to support Alexis Tsipras, Socrates Famelos commented that "I am sure that, as we are monitoring Alexis Tsipras' positions and the whole progressive space - and not only Alexis Tsipras, but also Alexis Tsipras - listen to it. We are all present and present in this progressive dialogue, but not behind closed doors." He acknowledged, however, that "it is an initiative which started just two weeks ago, still the necessary instruments have not been set up, it has not been the process that has already been announced by Alexis Tsipras," filling in for the development of the political relationship between the two venues that "it is not yet the time to ask these questions.".
Although it was caused several times, "I do not therefore enter into a direct commentary on Alexis Tsipras' position, because you remember very well that I had also said on the day of his resignation that we might have different perspectives," he noted, while clarifying that "there is clearly the initiative of Alexis Tsipras. Political institutions are not confused, political spaces are not confused.".
As to the party's real and mobile property, "the values and legacy of SYRIZA-PS and the valuable tools that we have at our disposal - the N. Poulantzas Institute, the party media - find their continuity and perspective within a victorious, broad, dynamic progressive space," observed Mr. Famellus, saying about the formation of a "progressive response" in the next election that "it is both in the hand and ours and, I suppose, in the initiatives taken by Alexis Tsipras - which is still too much at the beginning, so I look forward to a rush, which I do not need at the moment - to form the terms so as to be invited and wider powers.".
In the same context, "Alexis Tsipras used a very interesting terminology. He spoke of a militia required. I agree. There must be a nationwide of collectives, personalities, forces, persons. To move society, to get off the couch the progressive world, to see that there is a prospect," said SYRIZA RS President, while he made it clear that "the functioning of the party remains. The political speech of SYRIZA-PS, together, must be clear, in order to formulate broader terms of unity which is not only about the relationship of SYRIZA-PS and its participation in the project that Alexis Tsipras has taken the initiative, but also about other progressive forces.".
As to Syriza's finances He responded that "we also discussed the party's finances, which have also all been regulated and there are no more obligations of the party to suppliers or any other obligation", while in response to the criticism of officials, such as Paul Polakis, Nikos Pappas and Rena Douros who are asking for a "road map" after the decision of the guiding body, Mr. Famelos claimed that "they underestimate that the Central Committee has made a clear decision that we support the project, we consider it positive and we stand next to it, and ask questions. For example: To prepare another plan, plan b. But an amendment was introduced to make plan b, if anything happens to prepare something different, which essentially described the autonomous descent - not to hide - and was rejected. There was an amendment which said not to be positive about the project, but to have a programme debate to have an agreement. Rejected. And now there's another question about having a timetable deal? But the timetable was also rejected in March, which was set by Paul Polakis' amendment. There was an amendment that was talking about a specific plan of contact with other sites, which was rejected.".
"So here I want to make it clear: The decision of the Central Committee has a clear position. He doesn't leave conditions, he doesn't ask questions, he doesn't set schedules. He says first we're next door, we support it and we deal with it together. And, secondly, that we are working towards greater convergence. And here the parliamentary group and the party must have concrete political action, because this ensures the historical continuity of ideas - because that is what we are interested in - and the programme proposals of SYRIZA-PS. Unfortunately, comrades are trying through their own filter, the amendments rejected, to translate and paraphrase the view of the Central Committee," he continued.
