“The unanimous conviction of Mr. Pappas in the Special Court has opened pandora’s Box in SYRIZA and brings Mr. Tsipras face to face with his mirror, which is none other than polarization.
‘Polakism’ is the highest stage of a kind of politics, ‘Syrizism’, which was inspired, nurtured and magnified by Mr. Tsipras, systematically covering for Mr. Polakis”: this is what the government spokesman Yannis Economou emphasizes in his announcement, after the suspension of his MP SYRIZA Pavlos Polakis but also the conviction of Nikos Pappas by the Special Court.
“Mr. Polakis should have been expelled from the SYRIZA parliamentary group”
Although Mr. Polakis – in a crescendo of fascism and terrorism – threatens our fellow citizens, all Mr. Tsipras dares to attribute to him is a “personal crusade” against the “regime”, without a single word of disapproval for his fascist positions, through which people are targeted and proscribed.
Mr. Tsipras seems, for the umpteenth time, minimal in managing major issues. Mr. Polakis should have been expelled from the SYRIZA parliamentary group yesterday,” noted the government representative.
“Mr. Tsipras must disapprove, by word and deed, of the core of polarization”
And he continues: “In order for Mr. Tsipras to deal with the political pathology he created, he must not only do the obvious, but also disapprove, by word and deed, of the core of polarization: the questioning of institutions, the attacks on Justice, the targeting of journalists, slandering and targeting people.
In order for the disapproval of the pathogenicity within SYRIZA to be convincing, the immediate deletion from the party and the removal from the ballots of Mr. Pappas, unanimously and irrevocably condemned for breach of duty, is also required.
Unless his oldest and closest partner “holds” him so tightly, that only when we find out with what will we understand how it is possible for them to continue, after a unanimous condemnation, to be in cahoots. We will find out, because sooner or later everything comes to light.”
