All it took was one poll to reveal the arrogance of Alexis Tsipras and the leaders of his new party…
One poll showed Alexis Tsipras with a support rate of over 20%, while all others recorded a maximum of 16.5% in the vote projection; yet it essentially highlighted the arrogance of Tsipras himself and his new allies, who had almost begun dividing up… ministerial portfolios among themselves.
Alexis Tsipras himself appeared to be calling on party officials to show… humility, but he is the one who began talking about… victory in the upcoming elections and about… a majority in order to govern and implement the program he hasn’t even drafted yet. Of course, judging by what’s being said on various panels , the Thessaloniki program may pale in comparison to what we’re about to hear.
But the (new) president of the (new)SYRIZA —his party has a new name and new leaders but the same old mindset of the “first-time left”—since he went so far as to declare that Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s “political cycle” of Kyriakos Mitsotakis has come to an end, while it has already declared that the cycle of the other parties (see PASOK, SYRIZA, and other left-wing affiliates) has ended.
In simple terms, the phase of messianism is at its peak, with the first polls showing EL.A.S.(his party) in second place, but mainly with the one that puts it in the lead, even though in the others it appears to be far from that position. The fact that there is also a trend of consolidation within New Democracy doesn’t seem to bother him, since essentially his opponent is PASOK as well as the parties that emerged from the numerous splits within SYRIZA, from 2015 to the present.
In any case, as for the political alliances that have been formed, so far there has been only one—his own—while another is expected to involve the former party he founded and is now attempting to dissolve by discrediting the officials who stood by him.
