Position for scenarios of establishing a new party by Alexis Tsipras got SYRIZA MP Paul Polakisstressing that this would not be a “return” of the former prime minister, but change of course and substantial Disagreement with programming positions of SYRIZA.
In an interview with Libre.grMr. Polakis emphasized that prolonged ambiguity around the intentions Mr Tsipras is burdened and called on the former party president to publicly clarify his attitude.
«Alexis is a historical official of SYRIZA, the only party president who served as prime minister and is currently an active MP. Consequently, I do not understand what is understood by talking about a return. If you consider the creation of a new back party, let me tell you that I do not agree“, He said.
He stressed that the establishment of a new body would mean a rupture: ‘Creating a new party means a change of course and not a return … Law means disagreement with our programming positions».
At the same time, he warned that ambiguity around the issue “does not do good to anyone and certainly does not do good in our space“, Inviting Mr Tsipras to clarify his position:”If he is really interested in forming a majority progressive alliance he should have clarified his attitude for a long time».
