Sharp concern prevails in PASOK regarding the revelations about Nikos Androulakis’s property.

According to reports, the repeated revelations about Nikos Androulakis have brought gloom and concern to PASOK MPs and executives. Even in the leadership team of Charilaou Trikoupis there is a numbness, as they know that they invested a lot in moralizing and scandalology and now it is backfiring on them.

As an old PASOK executive used to say, the blows for the president are repeated: first the 1 million abroad that he forgot to declare in his Overseas Tax Return, then the revelation about the property owned by Nikos Androulakis that the government has been renting for years in Crete, and then the revelation that during the PASOK government a sum of money was given to a company of the president’s family to renovate it.

In fact, the same executive recalled that close supporters and PASOK executives around Nikos Androulakis were also found with the goat on their backs for the OPEKEPE case, resulting in one of them being taken into custody. As he argued, it is now difficult for PASOK to raise a narrative about scandals and justice, when the president himself has a problematic image to society on these issues.

However, in the wells among MPs and executives it is heard that the repeated revelations about Nikos Androulakis will cost PASOK dearly. Especially now that Alexis Tsipras is announcing his party, there are fears that the party will permanently lose second place in the polls.

And that will be disastrous for Charilaou Trikoupis on the road to the polls. Besides, PASOK has long been struggling to gain ground in the polls.

It is no coincidence that the leadership of Charilaou Trikoupis believes that not only Maximou but also the centres promoting Alexis Tsipras are behind the revelations about the Androulakis property. Of course now it is too late for tears, as the PASOK president should be more careful with his own house.

Hold on to one last thing, however, that was heard in the corridors of Charilaou Trikoupis: the revelations about Nikos Androulakis “pleased” some PASOK executives who covet the party’s leadership more than the government or Alexis Tsipras.
