SYRIZA officials walk out of meeting amid dispute with Kasselakis
Several SYRIZA officials walked out of a meeting of the party conference organizing committee on Tuesday following a heated disagreement with party leader Stefanos Kasselakis.
According to Skai TV, the officials departed after expressing concerns about Kasselakis’ proposed date for the conference, which coincides with PASOK’s leadership elections.
In response to their objections, Kasselakis remarked that those who disagreed were welcome to leave. Consequently, eight officials exited the meeting.
Among those who left were Olga Gerovasili, Alekos Flambouraris, Yiannis Ragousis, Thanasis Theocharopoulos and Konstantinos Zachariadis.
SYRIZA has been experiencing internal strife since the June European elections, with many party members openly criticizing Kasselakis’ leadership.
