SYRIZA recently announced the elimination of Stavros Kontonis.
The statement that was published some time ago affirms that “Stavros Kontonis remains unshakable, according to his statement,” a communist in the renewing left. “Obviously no one can take away that right.”
However, he goes on to say that “The right to be a member of the SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance was revoked from the moment he decided to turn against his party not only with non-existent accusations on the penal code, which in fact favor propaganda and false news. of ND, but also with slanderous and unacceptable characterizations for his colleagues.
“He chose with his attitude to try to tarnish a huge popular victory against the criminal activity of the neo-Nazis.”
“The accused and his options”. the announcement concludes.
Earlier, in a statement, Stavros Kontonis characterized an earlier announcement – the response from the SYRIZA Press Office “as a monument to slander and Stalinism.”
Speaking to ANT1, the same former Minister of Justice announced his resignation from the SYRIZA Central Committee and explained that he was taken to this decision as “the party, the way it is organized from now on and the policies that are outlined are a internal party struggle that does not meet the needs of workers, people and society ”.
“The statements of Stavros Kontonis, which embrace New Democracy propaganda and fake news, are unacceptable and objectively serve political interests hostile to the Left and SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance,” commented SYRIZA.
Kontoni’s statement
“The government’s attempt to link my resignation from the SYRIZA Central Committee with the serious and existing objections that I had and maintain, regarding the way of voting and the content of the provisions of the new Penal Code, is a direct distortion of what I said, according to usual practice. of SW.
I emphasize for the umpteenth time that my resignation was presented to the president of the party three days ago and is exclusively related to the catastrophic introversion, groupings, internal mechanisms and public reprisals of party officials before Congress and other serious internal party problems. they form the most negative image of the party and the progressive faction.
In fact, at the moment we are faced with a government that has failed to manage serious social problems.
I repeat, however, that unacceptable provisions of the new Penal Code, such as the abolition of the accessory penalty of deprivation of civil rights and the transformation of the crime of bribery into a serious offense, were serious and inadmissible errors.
I am glad that I was informed that, at the initiative of the SYRIZA parliamentary group, an amendment will be tabled to restore the repealed provisions and I hope that it will have the support of all democratic parties.
Finally, I return to your editors, the announcement from the SYRIZA press office, as a monument to slander and Stalinism and I deserve to comment on it.
Commenting on the decision of the Chrysi Avgi court in the First Program, the former Minister of Justice highlighted his disagreement with respect to points of the new, then (under SYRIZA) penal code, emphasizing, among other things, in relation to Chrysi Avgi, that “ “The treatment of the leader of the criminal organization is now the same as that of the affiliate, or that there is no deprivation of civil rights, which is problematic, that’s why I was replaced,” he explained.
“Ask others why this happened,” Kontonis said. “The court will not impose ancillary sentences due to the provisions of the new penal code,” said the former SYRIZA minister.
