“Anyone who knowingly or mistakenly deviates from the Change Contract puts himself outside the collective effort for great change,” the document says. SYRIZA-P.S. in a statement shortly after Giorgos Katrougalos withdrew from the election campaign.

SYRIZA announcement

“The middle class paid dearly for the crisis and the arrogant politics of Mr. Mitsotakis, who didn’t care. Thus, the middle class is only entitled to relief.

In the alliance change agreement between SYRIZA and the progressive alliance, this is absolutely clear. Our collective vision, our moral duty obliges us to bring it to life.

Anyone who deviates from the Change Contract, knowingly or by mistake, places himself outside the collective effort for great change.

On Sunday, the Greek people will be asked to sign a Treaty of Change and Trust, and nothing more. And judge us by its implementation.

Earlier G. Katrugalos in his statement stated that he was taking on “political responsibility” and that he was “withdrawing from the pre-election struggle”, while referring to “a theatrical performance organized by New Democracy”.

Announcement of Katrugalos

“Watching a theatrical performance organized by New Democracy about my application for insurance premiums yesterday. From the very morning I made it clear that I had in mind personal principled positions, and not the programmatic positions of SYRIZA-PS, which have been published for a long time. New Democracy’s slander of a “hidden agenda” is false. Leftists always speak the language of truth. If there was a hidden agenda, would I voluntarily reveal it two days before the election?

The damage, however, is done with the help of the right-wing media empire. I won’t make it easy for her. Also, my involvement in politics has never been from a personal interest, but from the point of view of a proposal. I left the European Parliament when I was invited to the first SYRIZA government and didn’t jump into insurance reform hot potatoes without knowing the risks.

I take full political responsibility for my yesterday’s position and declare that I am withdrawing from the election campaign.
