Centre<\/b> has been and gone, as Alexis Tsipras<\/b> – seeing that he has no chance in this political arena – returns to the… ruling Left.<\/b><\/p>\n
One step away from exclaiming “the second time will be different”<\/b> is Alexis Tsipras, who has returned to factory settings in terms of catastrophism, toxicity and populism. <\/b>His inability to register penetration rates in the centre ground has led him to do a 180-degree turn – not a 360 – in order to glean what he can from the left.<\/p>\n
His reference to a “governing left” simply comes to lock in the audience he is addressing and is the same as the one he left amanati to SYRIZA <\/b>before he split it through the election of Stefanos Kasselakis with the well-known consequences.<\/b> This is why he requests the dissolution of both SYRIZA and New Left <\/b>as well as the surrender of the seats of those MPs who are invited to follow him as a full complement to his caravan.<\/b><\/p>\n
However, his rhetoric is already a copy of the one he used in the previous years<\/b> both as prime minister and as leader of the opposition, while he seems to move in the logic of the Thessaloniki programme,<\/b> promising the land of Promise, as… messiah who will bring the Left into government.<\/b><\/p>\n
Now “the second time will be different” is hardly something he’ll use since it’s Paul Polakis,<\/b> with whom he keeps a… safe distance… and takes mantra notes.<\/b> But the… drakogenia<\/b> probably cannot be the party’s anthem since the relevant lyrics belong to the father of Nikos Pappa<\/b>, who is also among the cadres Alexis Tsipras does not want in his party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
