A SYRIZA party political secretariat decision on Friday bumped a closely watched central committee meeting for the next day, Saturday, as the beleaguered main opposition struggles to organize and hold another leadership election.
Centrifugal forces threatening to again split the slumping leftist party are now fueled by a clash between what’s left of the “old guard” and a handful of candidates for its leadership, and so-called “Kasselistas”, cadres supporting recent deposed president Stefanos Kasselakis.
Members of the secretariat on Friday reiterated a decision demanding that Kasselakis take back an extra-judicial legal notification threatening court action over his leaked, to the press, wealth and means statement.
Kasselakis later acquiesced to the demand, saying he won’t give his opponents a justification to prevent him from again seeking election as SYRIZA’s president.
