Haris Doukas<\/b> appears to be becoming an outsider within PASOK<\/b>, as his contacts with SYRIZA<\/b> and ELAS<\/b> are becoming increasingly frequent.<\/p>\n
A short while ago, the mayor of Athens attended an event honoring Yiannis Boutaris<\/b>, where he sat next to Alexis Tsipras<\/b> and spoke very highly of the former prime minister. In fact, he came out in favor of the Prespa Agreement<\/b>, contrary to the official line of PASOK<\/b>.<\/p>\n
It was no coincidence that shortly afterward he spoke of the need for PASOK<\/b> to engage in dialogue with Alexis Tsipras.<\/b> Now, in the wake of his clash with Anna Diamantopoulou<\/b>, he has chosen to attend a clearly partisan event organized by SYRIZA<\/b> as well as with supporters of Alexis Tsipras.<\/b><\/p>\n
And this obviously sends a message to Harilaou Trikoupi. After all, the mayor of Athens believes that the leadership of Nikos Androulakis<\/b> did not support him in his dispute with Anna Diamantopoulou<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Specifically, Haris Doukas<\/b> will attend the event on Thursday, June 25, titled \u201cUnprotected Democracy \u2014The Rule of Law in Crisis,\u201d organized by SYRIZA<\/b> MEP and close associate of Sokratis Famellos<\/b>, Kostas Arvanitis<\/b>, in collaboration with the European Left Group. Supporters of Alexis Tsipras<\/b>, such as Christos Rammos<\/b> and Iphigenia Kamtsidou<\/b>, will also speak at the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What makes this particularly interesting is not only the participation of Haris Doukas<\/b> in what is essentially a party event organized by SYRIZA<\/b> and officials close to the former prime minister, but also the fact that in the relevant announcement, Haris Doukas<\/b> is presented solely as the mayor of Athens and a professor, while the fact that he is a PASOK<\/b> official is omitted.<\/p>\n
In any case, those at Harilaou Trikoupi are aware of the presence of Haris Doukas <\/b>at the event organized by the SYRIZA<\/b>, and they are not particularly pleased with the mayor, who, on the one hand, is causing internal party turmoil and, on the other, is attending events organized by other parties.<\/p>\nCharilaou Trikoupi takes a stand <\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Some on Charilaou Trikoupi believe that Haris Doukas<\/b> is starting to… crossing over to the other side, as he appears to be closer than ever to Alexis Tsipras<\/b>.<\/p>\n
That is why the statements made by the party\u2019s press secretary,Kostas Tsoukalas<\/b>, who essentially backed up what Anna Diamantopoulou<\/b> said and indirectly distanced himself from Haris Doukas<\/b>. Specifically, Kostas Tsoukalas<\/b> fully backed the former minister, stating that the announcement by ELAS<\/b> supports what Anna Diamantopoulou said\u2014namely, that while the fiscal indicator may appear to be declining, this has not led to an increase in the economic pie or its distribution.<\/p>\n
For those in the know, Tsoukalas<\/b>\u2019s stance indicates that the Androulakis leadership has chosen a side and is particularly annoyed by the antics of Haris Douk<\/b>. Although the latter has been openly at odds with Alexis Tsipras <\/b>and SYRIZA<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
