Potami is taking the course people wanted it to, that is to become a player of the political system, party leader Stavros Theodorakis on Thursday told Ant1 TV ahead of its first conference to be held in Lavrio, eastern Attica on June 27-29.

“We chose Lavrio to put emphasis on ‘tomorrow,” Theodorakis said and referred to the high election rates of the party.

“To Potami is a party that came out of nowhere, it did not have any partisan background,” he said. “We are a progressive movement that wants the country’s progressive liberals and leftist reformists to join it.”

“I am clear. I am against populism,” he noted and said he was in favour of reforms and criticized the government of fatigue.
