With strong arrows aimed at him Alexis Tsipras And SYRIZAHead of MeRA25 Janis Varoufakis made a statement late last night admitting his party’s defeat as the cumulative tally showed it failed to secure parliamentary representation with a percentage that simply confirmed the poll’s lowest predictions: it got 2.58% while in the election 2019 was 3.44%.

According to Mr. Varoufakis, the leadership of SYRIZA “buried a simple analogy by not accepting our proposal two years ago for an electoral rapprochement in a common front of rupture, which resulted in this incredible tsunami-supporting front.”

“SYRIZA promised things to the world—things to be done—that required a break, which the SYRIZA leadership demonized,” said the MeRA 25 secretary. “Our defeat tonight will be placed under the microscope of our self-criticism,” said among others, Mr. Varoufakis. It remains to be seen whether it is self-criticism and what happened and led to the high-profile departure of MPs from the party a few months ago, or his own manipulation in the run-up to yesterday’s vote, with a telling example of choosing to rely on proposals such as the Dimitra system. N.D. “He won by a landslide,” the head of MeRA25 continued, to continue, “A lot of this is due to the leadership of SYRIZA burying the simple analogy that led to this incredible tsunami, the service front.”
