Manolis Kapnisakis

Late on Saturday, Stefanos Kasselakis was spotted at a café in Neo Psychiko with close associates following the stormy session of the party’s Central Committee, which decided to exclude him from the internal elections.

The former SYRIZA president was seen discussing the developments within the party with Manolis Kapnisakis and Theodora Tzakri.

We don't know who leaked the 15-page document listing the assets of former SYRIZA chief Stefanos Kasselakis, which was published by the Efimerida ton Syntakton newspaper on Tuesday. We're also having trouble understanding the reaction of Manolis Kapnisakis, the director of the ex-party leader's office.

With 17 votes in favor, one against from Theodora Tzakri, and Olympia Teligioridou absent, the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance reaffirmed the Central Committee’s decision to remove Stefanos Kasselakis from his role as party president.

SYRIZA’s top officials are set to face the new reality following Stefanos Kasselakis’s removal from the leadership of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, as the Political Secretariat meets today at 4 p.m. Tensions remain high within the party.

For now, Stefanos Kasselakis is keeping quiet, a day after being ousted from SYRIZA’s leadership by a decision from the party’s Central Committee. His office in Koumoundourou has been locked, and he hasn’t met with even his closest associates.

Stefanos Kasselakis has appointed Nikos Pappas as the head of SYRIZA’s Parliamentary Group, aiming to influence the internal dynamics of the party’s Central Committee. This move comes as Pavlos Polakis has announced his intention to table a motion of no-confidence, potentially triggering a process for electing a new party leader.

Employees of Avgi were waiting for Stefanos Kasselakis outside Koumoundourou, where the SYRIZA Political Secretariat was meeting. They expressed their displeasure at the decision to cease the daily publication of Avgi.

We have not witnessed such confusion since 1952, when Georgios Papandreou ran as a candidate MP with the Ellinikos Synagermos (Greek Rally) party of Field Marshal Alexandros Papagos.

The government refuted claims that main opposition SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis was offered a ministerial seat in the ruling New Democracy party as "science fiction."
