Paul Geroulanos: If I am elected and lose the first in 2027, that same night I will appeal to the base

The PASOK JV meeting is under way where all six candidates for the party presidency are expected to submit their positions and request their support. He noted that if he was elected and lost the lead in 2027, he would begin the same night the election process of chief from the base. Paul Geroulanos who, among other things, made it clear that “now is the time. Now is the time for the “rebirth” of PASOK. He will not forgive us unless we meet the demand of society.” “We do not intend to miss the opportunity for the country and PASOK for which three things are needed: Plan, allocation of power composition, unity, and governance experience,” he added. Geroulanos said that the prospect of power for PASOK does not come without preconditions, as it requires a change of operation, mentality, leadership and a plan of rapid moves and radical reforms for the country that – as he said – is based on the plan “Regeneration”. “I ask for responsibility to lead PASOK, with a specific political plan for Greece. A political plan that does not just come to manage the country’s administrative and productive model, comes to change it in its entirety. He’s coming to change his example. It comes to bring about sweeping but also very coherent changes. “Renaissance” is a plan political, anthropocentric, patriotic, socialist. The second reason I ask for responsibility to lead PASOK is because I can serve unity. That’s what I do my whole political life in PASOK. From day one. That’s why I don’t have party company. I don’t have “my own”. I don’t need my own team to preside. That’s not how I’ve learned. I’ve learned how to build teams. Using anyone and anyone who wants to offer. Composing forces and offering perspective. Wherever I came from. That’s what I’ve always done. I will also do this as President, if I am elected,” noted Mr Geroulanos to supplement: “The above can be guaranteed, for one reason: Because nobody’s holding me. I don’t have any domestic work. My first priority is PASOK and the future of the country. I ask for the responsibility to lead the Greek Socialist Movement because I have the experience to do so. ” “The goal of the first is therefore clear. Difficult but feasible. So if you do not succeed in the timetable I have set, I am committed from now on to launch the same evening the process of electing a leader from the base. Because, a target is set, concerns above and above all everyone who sets it. He’s not hiding from responsibility. I won’t hide from responsibility. And I will not let my question be exploited by third parties or divided by my party. This is my commitment and so I will go,” he noted. “Because in a party of power, such as PASOK, there is something even more important than winning the internal party ballot and leadership on Sunday: Know what you’re doing Monday. In front of us, if we want to achieve our goal, we have epic battles. Battles with government, battles with problems, battles to convince people we’re close to him. If the battle is in Parliament, the president must be there. If the battle is in society, the president should be there. If the battle is in the party, to choose a course, to close open issues, to decide a strategy, the president must be there. There’s no other way. The president sets an example. What does that mean? Two things. Firstly, PASOK cannot and will not become a government by representative. The party president must be a congressman. Because with me in the position of president, values, political action and the disposal of supply will be the only criteria for participation in instruments,” Mr Geroulanos pointed out. “The choice for the new leadership has responsibility, comrades and comrades. Responsibility, not to friends and acquaintances. But against the society that looks at us. Home he’s waiting for. The story that gives us a second chance. I demand responsibility and honor to lead our common struggle. I invite you all to give him a fist. And I assure you that the result will vindicate us,” concluded the candidate for the leadership of PASOK-KINAL.
