Apostolos Gletsos: “If Stefanos Kasselakis is elected I will take my white hair and go home”

Clearly, if he is elected president of SYRIZA he will “take his white hair and go home”, as he said, he said. Apostolos Gletsos explained that his problem with Stefanos Kasselakis is not political but cultural, noting that SYRIZA executives began to be opposite him because he demonstrated them. “I personally am not a Member of Parliament and I have no official position on Syriza. I take my white beard and my white hair and go home. I will not even interview to say it, I will silence and go to my house,” he specifically told the show “Buongiorno”. At the same time, explaining why the problem with Stefanos Kasselakis is cultural, he noted: “That a leader in a Left party can consume so much wealth in public view when the average Greek lives in difficult situations, my soul freezes. It’s a culture thing not to understand. He showed us what he had and what he consumes, and that’s why we started to be against him. Of course we also have ideological differences.” Regarding Stefanos Kasselakis’ announcement on social media and the poster where he writes “I am here. Our SYRIZA”, Apostolos Gletsos commented: “They obviously mean another SYRIZA, Theirs, because he’s something else, he’s not the Syriza we knew. His SYRIZA is something else. He gave me a hard time about going to Macroniso, but it wasn’t a crime. He seemed to be a child who has no idea of history and who has not read. But you can’t charge him for staying out. You say that’s not a problem because he’ll sit and read.” Finally, asked what his attitude would be in the event of Syriza being elected president Paul Polakis replied: “Whether Famellus comes out, either I will be there as until today, just rowing. I have nothing to say with Stefano Kasselakis. I’ll wish him on the inside and go home.
