By an article in the Journal of Editors, the President of SYRIZA insists on requesting the resignation of the Prime Minister and the European elections in the presence of international observers. The solution “in today’s political deadlock” is a direct resignation of Mitsotakis and a proclamation of elections, “to leave as elected prime minister after the revelations of a huge scandal, as would be done in every democratic country of Europe,” says Stefanos Kasselakis while saying he returns to the camp after the parade in Thebes “motivated, renewed, unrelenting”. “Greece will return to normality, whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants it or not,” he notes. The president of SYRIZA-PS invokes examples of prime ministers who resigned on much smaller grounds, noting that “we have the government cover-up of a foretold crime that took away the lives of 57 of our fellow citizens.” “As the prime minister has said in Parliament, “these have entered the balance of 41%,” he comments, to point out that he proposes to the Prime Minister “exodus with dignity to remeasure the “weigh”, now that it is revealed that the manipulation of public opinion and the cover-up of crime has been attempted already since the same night of the tragedy.” And he insists on holding elections and European elections with the presence of international observers, asking the question “What other advanced Republic has a government that is putting a crime scene, which is editing evidence, which is illegally monitoring politicians, military, entrepreneurs, illegally specialising for party-specific personal election information?”. “My invitation to the Prime Minister is to facilitate developments by quitting,” he says. The president of the SYRIZA-PS explains why the main opposition party will support the motion of censure although he considers that it will be a “cohort battle”, in relation to who will credit it, “a show process, which will unfortunately accomplish nothing in the essence, the state cover-up of Tempes crime.” He comments that “around the motion of impeachment are all those “progressive” politicians who campaigned against SYRIZA-PS’s successive proposals for government cooperation, keeping Mitsotakis in power” and stresses that “but SYRIZA-PS will never behave like them. There will never be an exception to the attempt to consult the democratic forces of the country.” “It is a position of principle and that is why we will support the proposal of mistrust against the government, however much it will not have any practical effect,” he points out.
