Athens mayor openly calls for PASOK leadership election in November

Athens Mayor Haris Doukas, in a letter to PASOK’s central committee on Tuesday, called for a party leadership election in November.

According to information, Doukas submitted his proposal to the secretary of the central committee and the party’s spokesperson ahead of the central committee meeting on Sunday.

Doukas proposed a roadmap for the revitalization of the party, which includes a national conference in early October to discuss political developments, followed by a vote for the leadership in November.
