The internal balance in PASOK is being tested as the strategy of expansion is causing intense objections among top executives.
Severe reservations were expressed during a meeting of the Political Council, bringing to the fore disagreements concerning the nature and limits of the new partnerships.
While Nikos Androulakis was in favor of expanding the space, the side expressed by Paulos Geroulanos seems to raise obstacles, focusing mainly on persons seeking to join or return to the party.
This criticism appears to be aimed directly at the case of Theodora Tzakri, with executives calling for the imposition of strict criteria that could prevent certain moves.
Tension focused on the proposal to apply statutory restrictions not only to existing members, but also to those from other parties. Typical was the position of Efi Halatsis, who, echoing the views of the side of Geroulanou, called for term limits to apply to all without exception.
She pointed out meaningfully that “PASOK, which is an institutional party, must apply its constitution on term limits not only to those who are within but also to those who come with the enlargement.” taking pictures of executives with long parliamentary careers in other areas and, most notably, Theodora Tzakri, whose name has been heavily bandied about recently for a return to PASOK.
