The internal affairs at SYRIZA have their… cute moments. For example, it is entertaining to watch people who have assumed ministerial posts to make proclamations that the government will recall in the same day!
The average citizen, for example, assumes that the game with the Chinese is rigged and that it is merely a way to find out how to have the cake and eat it.
Let us hope that these phenomena of significant differentiation amongst SYRIZA officers and their clashes will be limited and soon become a thing of the past.
Let us hope to a new start. Large sections of democratic citizens aligned themselves with SYRIZA – they are the ones who gave the party its major victory in the elections.
Let us hope that the party will welcome the aforementioned centrist citizens.
Let us hope that those who lead the left wing in SYRIZA understand that the party that is in power today is different to what it was before.
Today history teaches us that “Hosanna” is only a short distance away from “Crucify Him!”
What one voted yesterday will be different to what one will vote tomorrow.
