SYRIZA has named Dionysis Kalamatianos as the new secretary of its shrinking parliamentary group, which is now down to 27 MPs seats in the 300-seat Parliament from 47 after the last election.

The new leader of SYRIZA

Sokratis Famelos, according to the biography on his website, was born in 1966 in Athens, but grew up and has lived in Thessaloniki since 1970.

The “abandonment” of Antonis Samaras is spreading, just hours before the ND Disciplinary Board meeting, which is expected to confirm his second expulsion from the governing party.

Alternative plans aimed at their personal political survival in the post Conference era are increasingly on the minds of more and more members of the SYRIZA Progressive Alliance, as the hourglass of Koumoundourou begins counting down from today for the party’s Extraordinary Congress.

Internal peace within SYRIZA Progressive Alliance remains elusive, as after a tumultuous two months, a new point of contention arose over the weekend concerning the new offices rented by former party leader Stefanos Kasselakis.

A group of twelve members of SYRIZA‘s Central Committee, aligned with Stefanos Kasselakis, has referred Olga Gerovasili, Kostas Zachariadis, and Apostolos Gletsos to the party’s Ethics Committee due to their recent “extreme” statements.

Stefanos Kasselakis announced via a social media post that he is withdrawing the legal notice he had sent to the Central Committee and the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA.

SYRIZA's central committee will meet in an emergency session on Saturday to decide on the future of ousted leader Stefanos Kasselakis in the party.

The Central Committee is convening urgently on Saturday – Olga Gerovasili and the “87” demand Kasselakis’ expulsion after the legal notice – Pavlos Polakis opposes the expulsion.

The Group of 100 within main opposition SYRIZA is reportedly calling for the expulsion of ousted leader Stefanos Kasselakis after he sent an out of court letter to the party leadership calling on it to investigate how parts of his wealth declaration were leaked to the press.
