[01] Coalition party leader addresses Central Political Committee meetingCoalition of the Left, Movements and Ecology party leader Alekos Alavanos addressed a meeting of his party's Central Political Committee on Saturday in a climate of strong confrontation, focusing on party policy for next year's local administration elections and on the candidate for the Athens mayorship in particular.Alavanos repeated his call for the candidacy of Alexis Tsipras for the Athens mayorship and challenged all who are opposed to this candidacy to request a referendum within the ranks of the party. On his part, Mihalis Papayiannakis, boosted by the decision taken by the Prefectural Committee of the first Athens constituency, refused to back down and demanded that the party's charter be respected. Commenting on press reports concerning developments in the first Athens constituency organisation, Alavanos said that he did not feel defeated. He pointed out that defeat occurs when the feeling of solidarity which must be maintained, particularly during moments when different options exist, evaporates. The Central Political Committee will complete its deliberations on Sunday afternoon. Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
