New shots were fired at Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday night by Stefanos Kasselakis, accusing the former prime minister of, among other things, “wanting SYRIZA to fall with a frontrunner so that he could come in as a centrist.” He even wondered, “why did he stay after the bouzouki that doesn’t mention it? Why didn’t he resign then? This proprietary notion that the party is pawns and we will play the system like a chessboard disgusts me.”

As he told ONE, “I met (with Tsipras) after my election and he told me how to staff my office. About the party’s finances I had no idea about the expenses. There was enough money left from the fund for the Poulantzas Institute between the two elections for a new president in SYRIZA. I found empty coffers” while to the reminder that he had mentioned “black funds” he replied “I am at the disposal of the financial prosecutor”

He also revealed that he had met “many times” with Alexis Tsipras “and for Avgi and Kokkino he said to me “shut up, why don’t you close them?” They rely on blurring and confusion that people will forget. Their bet was that I’d give up and go back to Miami, well, hell no there are people who want to contribute to the country I know I’m not in the same position and the democracy movement wants change.”

“What does this book solve of the world’s problems?” Kasselakis asked, also saying that “I didn’t think I was going to win SYRIZA, what I wanted to put in was some common sense not the polemic I said afterwards about military service, justice, etc.”

And responding to the characterization of him as “arrogant” in the Tsipras book, he said “he calls 150,000 who voted and 600,000 who voted in the European elections arrogant. 15% and with a huge war against me was a feat. You chose them, it’s not their fault, if they didn’t do it to you why didn’t you change them? There were phrases, she was offered the position of head of the CO to Achtsioglou and she said no and Haritsis was offered the portfolio of finance and she refused me. They went on a white strike while the others went on the channels and talked about splitting. This (SYRIZA) could not be saved because the one who created it did not want to be saved. Now that I’m talking about it, I feel like I’m getting dirty”
