Papavasileiou Resigns from ALMA, Criticizing Movement's Direction

Theodosoulos Papavasileiou, a founding member of the ALMA movement, has announced his resignation, expressing strong disagreements with the movement's direction. He accuses the leadership of selectively applying its principles, lacking transparency, making deals behind closed doors, and censoring specific political parties. He also criticizes the lack of protection of the confidentiality of internal processes and the opacity of sponsorships. Papavasileiou emphasizes that his initial involvement in the movement aimed to support vulnerable groups in society, something he no longer believes is being achieved.
