Final composition newsletters SYRIZA not finished. According to Komundur’s sources, the renewal of faces in relation to 2019 reaches approximately 50%, and the quota of men and women remains, as determined by law, at the level of 50-50. On Sunday, 377 names were announced, 32 were missing. There are several vacancies in large regions, indicating that the former prime minister still has “hidden papers.” One woman went missing in Athens A, three names in the North and West sectors, four in the South and one in East Attica, A – in Piraeus. One candidate was not nominated in the 2nd district of Thessaloniki, four – in the 1st district of the city, two each – in Aetoloakarnania, Heraklion and Pella. In total, in 14 regions, only one person is missing to close the lists.

According to unofficial data, the composition of the SYRIZA ballot currently shows that they include, among others, 18 representatives of the creative field, 52 lawyers, 30 engineers, 35 doctors, 21 academics, 15 journalists and 28 teachers. Farmers, freelancers, representatives of social groups and disability movements, pensioners, soldiers, scientists of various specialties, trade unionists and food workers form a mosaic. Six of Mr. Tsipras’ advisers appear on the ballots from the think tank: G. Gerociafas, G. Mylopoulos, T. Albanis, D. Voutiraku, S. Vidali, N. Farandouris.

At the meeting of the Central Committee, the candidacy of Evangelos Antonaros was in the center of attention. Initial reports of his extended contacts with the party sparked discussions in the left wing, but they subsided. The centre-right opening undertaken by President SYRIZA is also evident from the support he has chosen to give to the current mayor of Peristeri, Andreas Pachaturidis. His presence last summer at a concert organized by SYRIZA in the municipality was the first example of the “flirt” that existed. The information says that there were even discussions about his support for the Attic region, but they did not continue. The Komundura know that the ND’s candidacy of Mr. Antonaros will be used to damage the left-wing image of the official opposition. However, the harsh and constant criticism that he directed over the years against Kyriakos Mitsotakis was one of the reasons that led Alexis Tsipras to include him on the SYRIZA ballot.

As for Irini Agathopoulou, who self-excluded, there is still an open vacancy in Kilkis and reportedly according to “K”, try to dismiss their objections to the candidacy of Pavlos Tonikidis. However, at the meeting of the Central Committee, she seemed adamant. Joanna Kontouli, former co-leader of the Green Ecologists campaign in 2012, announced that she would not run for SYRIZA. Komunduru emphasizes that they were erroneously included in the list of persons proposed by K.E. and that he remains a member of the party.
