Katerina Batzeli: Decision Caused Disappointment, A Walk Erased for 5 Minutes of Airtime

Former PASOK member Katerina Batzeli expressed her disappointment over being expelled from the party for a year. Speaking to SKAI, she highlighted that this was not just about five minutes of televised discourse but rather a journey filled with significant moments and major battles within PASOK. She criticized the drawn-out process, which lasted 15-18 days without clear justification, stating it could have been resolved much earlier through proper procedures. Batzeli emphasized her role in the European Parliament, leading discussions on agricultural issues, culture, and representing her political ideas. Despite the setback, she reiterated respect for internal party processes and denied any existence of internal enemies within PASOK. She concluded by expressing hope that this expulsion would be the last of its kind in the party’s history.
