Tzachri has left the party Kasselakis party, and it remains to be seen whether reports of discussions with PASOK will be confirmed.
Theodora Tzakri announced that she is resigning from her position as vice president of Stefanos Kasselakis’s party, even taking jabs at her party chairman—until yesterday—citing various reasons and basing her decision on his interview with Adonis Georgiadis.
What actually happened is of little concern. What’s being discussed is whether the information that led her to consider moving to PASOK led by Nikos Androulakis will be confirmed in the near future and, above all, how the issue of the time limit imposed on parliamentary candidates regarding their tenure in office will be resolved.
Even more widely discussed, however, is how to put aside everything she has said from time to time—even in passing—about the official opposition party. For example, how will the label “government stooge” applied to PASOK in reference to its 2012–2014 coalition government with New Democracy be addressed?
Also, in an interview she gave in December 2024, she argued that “PASOK has a very serious problem with widespread corruption and collusion”, while he had called on Nikos Androulakis to speak about the coalition government, emphasizing that he was the party secretary at the time. She herself may be able to justify her return, given that PASOK has decided—and indeed at a Party Congress—that it will not cooperate with New Democracy , but we don’t know what position Harilaou Trikoupi will take, especially if she needs to make some… strategic moves in order to be a candidate for parliament in the upcoming national elections.
And one last thing. The PASOK officials—those who never left and who, especially during the era of the memoranda, bore the brunt of all the… outcry from their former comrades— how will they handle her possible return?
