A new cycle of political counter-complaints began after the statements of his deputy SYRIZA-PS, Stavrou Arachovitis, regarding whether the Greek decision belongs to the network of parties with which SYRIZA could form a so-called “progressive government”.“.

Today, New Democracy accuses Alexis Tsipras of “searching for a new Kammenos,” and Mr. Arachovitis clarified earlier — in response to a statement by the KKE Prefectural Committee of Laconia that opened the question — that “the progressive features in Mr. Velopoulos’s party are only more deeply conservative parties can see.”

N.D.: “Tsipras is looking for a new Kammenos”

“His deputy SYRIZA and former minister in the SYRIZA-ANEL government, Stavros Arachovitis, says that Mr. Velopoulos also “fits in” with Mr. Tsipras in search of a new Kammenos.

“No wonder. In this way he ruled for 4.5 years. He has the original, in the person of Mr. Velopoulos he is looking for a copy. Good luck,” she emphasizes. SW.

The first statements of the Arachovite and clarifications after the reactions

It is recalled that the deputy of SYRIZA-PS from Laconia, in an interview he gave to alepa.gr, said: “We want to cooperate with all progressive forces who believe that the Mitsotakis system should end here. With all those who want to end Mitsotakis SA politically.”

Asked later if his party could even cooperate with the Greek decision of Kyriakos Velopoulos, Mr. Arachovitis replied: “With all my might. If Mr. Velopoulos considers himself a progressive force and we agree on the main points, on our goal, on post-election cooperation, we discuss everything. I urge the Greek people in the upcoming elections to think very carefully about what to vote for.”

The local organization of the KKE in Laconia reacted to the words of the deputy SYRIZA.

The SYRIZA MP accused the KKE sectoral committee in Laconia of “preferring the path of distortion for reasons known only to him” and stressed that “the progressive features in Mr. Velopoulos’s party can only be seen by the most deeply conservative parties.”

Detailed statement of St. Arahovit

“Obviously, neither the party of Mr. Velopoulos can be considered a progressive force, nor can we come to an agreement with it. My response to the reporter’s question was clearly apologetic. Progressive features in the party of Mr. Velopoulos are seen only by the most deeply conservative parties.

It is amazing how the Laconian Sectoral Committee of the KKE was able to see in her a “progressive force”! While everyone understood the meaning of what I said, NE Laconia chose the path of distortion for reasons known only to her.

Since I want to believe that the KKE belongs to a progressive force, to which Mr. Velopoulos’s party clearly does not belong, the question remains: will it participate in the progressive front, as dictated by the simple proportionality that we voted for together?”
