The Nikos Androulakis has managed to lock himself into a tactic that may further alienate centrist voters.
On March 27-29, the Conference of the PASOK which, as it turned out, had only reference point the decision not to cooperate with ND if a coalition is required after the next national elections, with Nikos Androulakis declaring that he will come first even one vote ahead and will cooperate with the -self-defined as- progressive parties.
He fell into the… trap of Charis Doukas, although it seems that his old-party advisers also contributed to this decision that in the end encapsulates him on a course worse than that of the “neither” of the 2023 election season that earned him, barely, an 11.84% share of the vote.
And PASOK may say that they are not saying who they will work with after the elections since this will be seen by the parties that will enter the next parliament, however, the dots are counted as well as to read the polls, as well as to predict the course of parties like Syriza and New Left.
What this means. That Nikos Androulakis’ choices are specific. Alexis Tsipras, Zoe Konstantopoulou, maybe even Yanis Varoufakis. As for the party that Maria Karustianou will build, there will probably be some difficulty.
Of course, this is a working assumption that requires PASOK to be in first place. But since Nikos Androulakis considers it… certain – regardless of the fact that some… turns have begun from his executives who now say that second place with a small difference is a positive result – let’s see how the… progressive – according to their statement – parties will ally.
Nikos Androulakis will cooperate with Alexis Tsipras. PASOK with the former leader of SYRIZA who may want to close the banks again? And they may be almost the same in their rivalry, but it is a wonder how the president of PASOK will convince the same executives to cooperate with people who are currently in SYRIZA and tomorrow will jump to the new party. With all those who have not made an apology and have not made the slightest criticism – including Alexis Tsipras – for what they said and did not do and for what they did before and after 2015.
What Alexis Tsipras wrote in his book has also passed a little in passing for Charilaou Trikoupis. But after watching the SKAI documentary entitled “In the Millionth” do they think there is a framework for cooperation? The unraveling between them is the least compared to what happened back then and for which PASOK will have to apologize afterwards.
The truth is that no one from the Southwest asked for cooperation with PASOK, especially with Nikos Androulakis’ PASOK. So the reason for the Congress’s decision remains unknown. It only points to the party chairman’s anxiety about the voters of the Left, the reservoir in which Alexis Tsipras will now be fishing and this says it all about the political opportunism and petty party aspirations of the party that seeks to appear as the antagonist and the other pole of the political system.
What is apparent so far, however, is that all these tactics are only succeeding in driving more and more centrist voters away from PASOK, which has probably lost its dominance in this area for good…
