O in his first interview as president of the Republic Movement speak to SKAI and Sia Kossioni. The President of the Democracy Movement Stefanos Kasselakis referred to what happened to SYRIZA until the epic conference, and also spoke about Alexis Tsipras and Paul Polakis. “I am not asking Members to come to the Republic Movement right now because I know I have to prove a lot. But I ask them to consider their responsibility on the basis that they found themselves stranded at the conference and to decide for themselves,” said Stefanos Kasselakis, while for Evangelos Apostolakis he said that “I will not comment on what he thinks he should do.” For the Democracy Movement he said that “we are a government movement so we build step by step in society. The bar is to be a government party. Syriza was taken from 8%, early January – February, I ran two months with a new team and without resources and with a white strike we managed to reach a second party, with 15%. I’m not scared of the uphill. We start from a good starting point and I think that there is great liquidity in the political scene and it is absolutely possible for us to make the surprise.” For his course from Alexis Tsipras’ proposal to Syriza’s leadership, Stefanos Kasselakis replied that “the centre left is not a grocery store and democracy is not a la cart”. A party that is more central than the parties we have seen is institutional and will not compromise with interests to co-government. The difference is internal party democracy.
