The PASOK voted… present and present on the bill on the immigration and asylum that is now the law of the land.
PASOK has chosen the tactic of Pontius Pilate under the anxiety of being criticised by the parties of the Left and especially by the new party of Alexis Tsipras. There is no other explanation for the new present that he chose as a … vote in the vote on the immigration ministry bill.
This tactic shows the situation in which the party of the official opposition. It is clear that it is operating under pressure from the parties of the left and the anxiety to fish for voters in the reservoir in which they move. The presence of Alexis Tsipras’s ELA and polls increase this pressure.
Thanos Plevris revealed the hypocrisy of PASOK during the debate in the Plenary of the Parliament, noting that “together with PASOK we voted for the Pact, but not the implementing law” adding that “you cannot celebrate in the Europarliament about how you vote and come here and vote against it so that no one can tell you that you supported the bill of Mitsotakis and Pleyris”.
And that is the reality. PASOK’s criticism is documented by… present on a bill that it agrees with but fails to address the criticism of the left-wing parties and the leftist meter they use.
Turning to this space to seek voters has transformed the party that in 2012 helped keep the country standing in the face of criticism. It found itself up against protest parties, but tends to become one of them, now following a path of no return.
The high tones he has chosen for parliament and in public discourse simply show his inability to produce policy and appeal to a world that eschews outrage and opposes toxicity and populism.
