Leadership challenge would ‘liquidate’ SYRIZA, Kasselakis says
[InTime News]
Any move against him as party leader would hurt and “liquidate” the party, SYRIZA chief Stefanos Kasselakis has said, after outspoken MP Pavlos Polakis called for a new leadership contest in the main opposition party through a grassroots vote.
“A motion of censure against me hurts and liquidates the party, it offers nothing and it hurts our people as well,” Kasselakis is reported to have said after a meeting of SYRIZA’s political secretariat.
The party’s central committee will meet this weekend to address these issues. It remains to be seen how the so-called “87” faction of the party, which also supports grassroots involvement, will react.
