Behind the Scenes of Katerina Batzeli’s Expulsion: Voices Up to the Top Floor of Harilaou Trikoupis

One day after her expulsion from the Movement for Change, efforts are underway to lower tensions and restore calm within the party. Everyone acknowledges that the party is in a difficult position, and internal conflicts will not benefit it. Notably, even members of the PASOK Ethics Committee, who clashed during the disciplinary meeting regarding Katerina Batzeli, have toned down their rhetoric to emphasize unity. Despite this, reports indicate that the session was marked by intense opposition with voices reportedly heard up to the top floor of Harilaou Trikoupis. Lawyers Nana Vryoni and Pantelis Kamas were central figures in the disagreement over Batzeli’s explanations concerning allegations against the PASOK president. The intervention of third parties defused the situation, leading to the known outcomes. Meanwhile, Batzeli attended the Tropario of Kassiani at a nearby church with her son. The PASOK president was seen yesterday at the Varvakeio market discussing food prices with consumers and merchants, criticizing the government’s handling of economic issues.
