Stefanos Kasselakis proposed significant changes for the reconstruction of SYRIZA-PS during his speech this morning at the party's Central Committee.

The SYRIZA chairman referred to the changes to the party's statute that should be made, according to him, such as the limitation of bureaucracy, the implementation of direct democracy procedures, funds, and the simplification of the party's structure.

He even presented some initial "ideas to be discussed,"  he said, in order to be implemented. Among them is the replacement of the Central Committee with the National Council of Members, which, among other things, "will draw up and review the party's annual action plan.".

In the same speech, Mr. Kasselakis acknowledged the necessity of cooperation among Greece’s center-left parties while ruling out a full-scale alliance. 

“No one disputes the need for convergence. However, this must be conducted transparently, in full view of progressive voters, and with respect for the autonomy of existing groups,” Kasselakis told the central committee of the leftist party on Saturday.

“To negotiate any agreement behind closed doors with other parties solely to increase our share of the vote would, in my view, be unethical. Moreover, such an agreement would not only lack ethics but also prove ineffective,” he said, stressing that the political product of such a pact would be “absurd.”
