The party commented on the independence of Fotini Bakadima with a statement. “At a time when MERA25 is under head-on attack by the oligarchs, whom it denounces by name both in and out of parliament, Fotini Bakadima, an MP for Piraeus, has chosen to stay away from the fighting. Everyone is being judged,” he said.

The departure of Fotini Bakadima from the party was commented by MeRA25 secretary Janis Varoufakis during his tour of Argolis.

“I understand that now that the Greek oligarchs are launching attacks, lawsuits and personal threats against members of parliament of the only party that names them, and that is why they are so annoyed, some – some of us, from the parliamentary group, may not tolerate, not tolerated,” he said, answering a journalist’s question.

“We continue, we will not back down, and it is especially encouraging that new people are coming to us, ready for this fight against the oligarchy,” he added.
