"Only a democratic congress can provide a solution" says the Initiative Group for the Salvation and Reorganization of the EPP.
As stated in a statement, once again M. Sizopoulos and those around him are teaching undemocratic party functioning. Suddenly and with 24 hours' notice they convene the Central Committee (the one elected by the 2017 Ordinary Congress) with the obvious purpose of illegally changing the Statute. "Ignoring court orders in force they are defiantly attempting to bypass the judiciary and by neglecting the Secretary of the CC who is the person in charge of conducting and controlling the process they are in effect abolishing the constitution".
He notes that by convening the legitimate CC elected by the 2017 Ordinary Congress (until now they have refused to convene such a body) they accept that all their efforts to convene Provincial Conferences and Ordinary or Extraordinary Congress have been futile and have exposed them irreparably.
"Otherwise the self-proclaimed and for the next five years president received says a request from 35 members of the JC for an emergency session of the body which was attended by only 18 out of 102 members! In today's meeting (today is Friday and until Monday morning no court can suspend any alchemy of the MC) it is certain that all their predetermined decisions will be ratified.
Unfortunately, another opportunity to restore the unity and democratic functioning of the party is lost. If there was a will, the solution was simple: The organization of a democratic congress based on the 2017 membership register (with which M. Sizopoulos was elected president) with the addition of those legally registered and the removal of those legally deleted.
In any case, M. Sizopoulos adds another illegality to the pile of his destructive methods for the party.
