Independence Apostolakis: Tsipras had told him to hand over the seat – Angry announcement SYRIZA for “a disgraced apostasy”

“Trouble” caused his decision to leave Syriza but not to surrender his seat. In his announcement the party talks about “a shameful apostasy” while as revealed, Mr Apostolakis had contact with him, before he made his decision known. Former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras reportedly had telephone contact with Evangelos Apostolakis during the previous days at the initiative of Mr Apostolakis. The same information says that in an absolute way, Alexis Tsipras transferred his position to him that especially an appointed MP when he disagrees with the party that elected him resigns, leaving the seat that neither politically nor morally belongs to him. The harsh announcement of Syriza “The prescribed decision of Evangelos Apostolakis ends today with his embarrassing apostasy. He didn’t even think of the Party that honored him by placing him in the Vote of State, nor the voters of SYRIZA-PS. And insults the selection of SYRIZA-PS members, as recently expressed in the presidential election. From now on it will bring the stigma of apostasy, trespassing and insulting the popular verdict and will, as well as the service of the efforts of the Mitsotakis government and the conflict, which are particularly concerned by the restart and reinforcement of the SYRIZA-PS. At the last minute he has to hand over the seat that does not belong to him, especially since Syriza-PS placed him in the Vote of State. Otherwise, the Greek people will send him to the seat of political history. And there is no one going to save him.”
