[01] DIMAR leader hands in his resignation to the party's Central
Committee
ANA/MPA---Democratic Left (DIMAR) leader Fotis Kouvelis handed in his
resignation to the party's Central Committee that convenes on Saturday
under the shadow of the heavy defeat in the euroelections and asked
from all the party members to safeguard the unity in order the party
to continue with coordination.
Kouvelis also proposed a party's Congress to take place in autumn and
until then DIMAR's Central Committee to decide on the party's political
direction. For this reason, he proposed DIMAR to contribute into the
creation of a new authority block with active participation in the effort
towards the forming of the centre-left and with the participation of
main opposition SYRIZA, if and when it clarifies its European course.
DIMAR leader also ruled out the possibility of cooperation with New
Democracy adding that he will approach PASOK, ELIA and POTAMI and other
independent progressive movements and personalities in the area of Ecology
in order to secure the strong presence of the democratic socialism in
the political developments.
"The Cassandras have anticipated the end of DIMAR. But they will be proved
again wrong. The Democratic Left will be present in the developments
and will heal its wounds. It will contribute in the country's revival
through progressive governmental solutions" concluded Kouvelis.
