Born in Kastrí, Kynouria in 1932, he experienced the occupation and civil war, which led his family to various cities.

A domino effect of reactions inside and outside SYRIZA has been triggered in the last few hours by Stefanos Kasselakis’ sudden decision to suspend the publication of the daily edition of the historic newspaper “Avgi”. Party MPs, executives, and prominent figures from the Left, literature, and press have expressed strong opposition to this “sudden death” of the publication.

The publication of the daily edition of the newspaper “Avgi” is being suspended, citing financial problems from SYRIZA‘s HQ at Koumoundourou.
