Dionysis Teboneras, Antonis Kotsakas, and Haris Tsiokas have announced their resignation from the party’s organizational body of SYRIZA-PS today, following the release of the Kasselakis “manifesto”. Their resignation pertains specifically to the organizational branch, citing concerns over what they perceive as a drift toward unconditional “authorization”. They emphasize in their statement that they remain committed to the party’s ideological and political framework, although they express strong reservations about recent developments they view as divergent from the party’s principles.
The executives underscore that references such as “My Syriza” by Kasselakis are considered inappropriate and indicative of an ideological departure. They assert that the recent actions of the party president have compelled them to take this stand, as they believe it is essential to uphold dignity and self-respect in the face of what they describe as a shift away from evolutionary progress towards a direction they disagree with.
Looking ahead, they advocate for the revitalization of a broader left and progressive movement, centered on a platform of programmatic unity and democratic defense. They reaffirm their commitment to maintaining autonomy within the progressive space while seeking avenues for collaborative policy agreements.
In conclusion, Teboneras, Kotsakas, and Tsiokas reiterate their dedication to contributing to the social opposition’s political expression, aiming to benefit the people and enhance governability. Their intervention text will be presented at the upcoming KE meeting for further consideration.
