The paths of SYRIZA and Alexis Tsipras’s ELAS should not be at odds but should converge. As expected, Socrates Famellos reiterated this position at the meeting of SYRIZA’s Political Secretariat, ahead of tomorrow’s Central Committee session.
According to reports, he emphasized that the founding of ELAS and its declaration constitute a major political event that SYRIZA does not view as adversarial, as it contributes to the realignment of the progressive camp.
“It would be a strategic mistake to oppose it; we are working toward a broad progressive convergence,” he reportedly added.
It should be noted that Pavlos Polakis is participating in the meeting of the body, despite Mr. Famellos’s initial assurances that he would not be admitted.
