In a categorical manner replied the Socrates The objections of Christos Spirtzis, who criticized a deficit of a pre -conference dialogue and called for the establishment of a committee of cooperation of the progressive forces, as well as the continuation of the dialogue even after the end of the conference.
Speaking in the work of the 5th SYRIZA-PS Congress, Mr Famellos made it clear that the party’s change of change has already been launched: “The party’s change was given in September, ratified by intra-party processes, followed by a complete politician. The conference is a highlight of democracy, it cannot be disputed because some would like to continue the debate in perpetuity. “
He made it clear that immediately after the conference, the bodies would be elected, which “bear political responsibility for the next moves”. The Central Committee, he stressed, “is the competent collective body to coordinate and represent the progressive dialogue in the country”.
Addressed indirectly but clearly to Mr Spirtzi, he recalled that SYRIZA-PS Isn’t it inactive in political initiatives: “Didn’t we propose President of the Republic from the progressive space? Didn’t we submit a proposal for no confidence? Did we not take the initiative for the Tempi Pre -Trial Committee? ”He asked, stressing that actions speak louder than wishes.
“Proposals for ‘extensions’ in dialogue and new committees act as an alibi to freeze the party. They cancel its operation before it even begins, on Monday, “he said.
The intervention of Famellou has revealed the will not to be allowed to return to old pathogens of introversion and procrastination, but for SYRIZA-PS to move forward, with a clear political stigma and an active role in developments.
The speech of Socrates Famellou
‘Comrades and comrades,
I will take the floor tomorrow to speak in substance about all the issues that are open and I have never come to intervene in the conference process, which is alive and in which the president speaks last.
But I would like to clarify the decisions that have been made, because I have the responsibility and great honor in this difficult SYRIZA-PS process, to ensure that we will be a serious political organization and this is the mandate I have received from party members.
I will say two things simply: The party change order was given and started in September. He was ratified by the discussions of the candidates, with a serious process of political dialogue and initiatives – partnerships, and with a pre -conference dialogue with positions that have long worked on the party and the Central Restart Committee and discussed in a pre -conference dialogue.
The conference is a top democratic moment, will not be undone by a decision that it is not a conference And the instrument elections will follow. Because the party is essential for society. He must have his organs and intervene constantly. One prisoner.
Second issue: The party and its bodies have the overall responsibility for political initiatives. No committee. The Central Committee is responsible. This must be elected and administered and coordinate the progressive dialogue in Greece and take initiatives.
In addition, I want to clarify something: from the first day of my election, we took very specific initiatives. Didn’t SYRIZA-PS have filed for the common President of the Republic by the progressive parties or have we forgotten it and do we want to erase history? Did not get the SYRIZA-PS Initiative on the proposal of mistrust or did we forget that too? Has the SYRIZA-PS initiative for the preliminary committee on the crime of Tempi took? These are recorded in society and much more.
So because we have to judge on the basis of the needs of the party and the needs of society, I would like to say clearly that these proposals stop the process of restarting the party and cancel its operation on Monday. We have one command: SYRIZA-PS to be here, to be united, to be strong and to be next to Greek society. This substantial political decision seventy thousand members of the party, given to all candidates in November 2024, cannot be stopped by procedural issues.
Thank you very much”.
