Nikos Androulakis<\/b> has opted for doomsday scenarios and the narrative of\u2026 victory in the national elections, but he isn\u2019t convincing anyone.<\/p>\n
Although the September data will show how the race for second and third place is shaping up on the road to the upcoming national elections, the current picture is as follows: in second place is Alexis Tsipras is in second place and PASOK is in third<\/a> \u2014although in some polls it appears to be vying for that spot with the party of Maria Karystianou.<\/b><\/p>\n
For three years, Nikos Androulakis\u2019s PASOK failed to convince the public that it was the second pillar of the political system<\/b>. It chose a strategy that mimicked the populism of Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA<\/b>, their doomsday rhetoric and anger, perhaps hoping to ride a wave of outrage that would lead to the dismantling of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and New Democracy.<\/p>\n
It turned a deaf ear to voices within the party that raised concerns about strategic errors, and, perpetually angry , became trapped in a constant stream of accusatory rhetoric and a \u201cno\u201d to everything<\/b>, which was even reflected in key legislative measures, creating conditions for PASOK\u2019s transformation from a ruling party into a protest party.<\/b><\/p>\n
It operated along lines dominated by the original ideas, a trend reflected in the polls with Alexis Tsipras\u2019s return to the political scene and failed to project the image of a prime ministerial candidate, with the result that his suitability for the premiership not only falls short of Kyriakos Mitsotakis\u2019s but also of the poll numbers his own party is garnering.<\/p>\n
And yet she continues in the same vein<\/b>. In Rhodes, for example, where he was on Saturday, he portrayed a country in disarray and citizens practically wandering the streets hungry. The worst part is that he\u2019s trying to convince people that if PASOK forms a government\u2014not just on its own but in coalition with progressive parties he doesn\u2019t name\u2014it will solve all the problems, and immediately at that.<\/p>\n
The result? The needle drops and the narrative of victory\u2014even by a single vote\u2014and of coming in first in the national elections is being questioned even by his own colleagues at Harilaou Trikoupi, who realize that if this narrative continues and PASOK ends up in third place\u2014or in second by a wide margin\u2014then there is a risk that they will all be labeled\u2026 quaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
