The article by <b>Alexis Tsipras<\/b> in EFSYN clearly shows that <strong data-start=\"155\" data-end=\"186\">he is accelerating his moves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"191\" data-end=\"747\">Logic. He started in September last year, talked about September until recently, and managed to go from <strong data-start=\"300\" data-end=\"330\">29%-30% in the potential vote<\/strong> (very and fairly likely to vote for him) to <strong data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"385\">15%-16%<\/strong>. The <b>rebranding<\/b> didn&#8217;t do him any good, since centrists never moved, the balcony displeased many, the book instead of lifting him up brought him down despite the communications storm, and his <strong data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"613\">delays<\/strong> on the one hand <b>Syriza<\/b>, what&#8217;s left of the New Left and caused <strong data-start=\"734\" data-end=\"744\">damage<\/strong> to him as well.<\/p>\n<p><p data-start=\"749\" data-end=\"1165\">So, he offered <strong data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"793\">space and time to PASOK<\/strong>, which has made use of it to a certain extent, and has been ahead of <strong data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"890\">the new Karystianoy<\/strong> party, for which a quick official announcement has been heralded, which some are wrongly quick to underestimate, after starting from <strong data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1049\">29%-30% in the potential vote<\/strong>, it quickly dropped to <strong data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1080\">19%-20%<\/strong>, which is no small feat, and it remains to be seen how that too will fare.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1973\">The <b>PASOK<\/b>, which has taken a <strong data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1257\">lead at the moment<\/strong>, will probably have to see if the tactics they&#8217;re using are actually effective. The name-calling over <b>Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b> along with everyone else alone is more of a concern, more so as to whether he will be able to <strong data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1543\">reveal his governability<\/strong> and how he will solve the puzzle of who he will govern with if he becomes first party, as he has set out as a goal. The new Carstianos party is opposed by <strong data-start=\"1697\" data-end=\"1708\">experience<\/strong> and the <strong data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1730\">weaknesses<\/strong> of the same, but let&#8217;s wait and see. Sometimes there are <strong data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1823\">surprises in politics<\/strong>, all the more so when new, indestructible players emerge to foster a climate that favors them without being exposed with insults and toxicity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1975\" data-end=\"2794\">It&#8217;s clear that we are heading towards <strong data-start=\"2012\" data-end=\"2028\">point zero<\/strong>, where the polls will count two more new parties entering the fray ambitiously and we are sure to be faced with a <strong data-start=\"2166\" data-end=\"2180\">new picture<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a <strong data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2226\">fight of three for second place<\/strong>. This will be the <strong data-start=\"2244\" data-end=\"2264\">mother of the battles<\/strong>, given that both new parties will have little effect on New Democracy&#8217;s ratings and will mostly bring significant changes in the ratings of the opposition parties, sending some out of the race. However, the other parties (Eleftherias Eleftherias, Hellenic Solution, KKE) will not be unmoved by the effort of their perversion, trying to cover the <strong data-start=\"2766\" data-end=\"2776\">damages<\/strong> they suffer from elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2796\" data-end=\"3111\">The fight begins and it will be <strong data-start=\"2826\" data-end=\"2837\">hard<\/strong>, perhaps with <strong data-start=\"2847\" data-end=\"2877\">butts below the waist<\/strong>, as well as confrontations of more or less nobility. It is no coincidence, after all, that Kyriakos Velopoulos&#8217; <strong data-start=\"2963\" data-end=\"2981\">harsh criticism<\/strong> of PASOK in his speech in Parliament went strangely unnoticed in the reports.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3113\" data-end=\"3228\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">So, <strong data-start=\"3128\" data-end=\"3147\">a beautiful situation<\/strong>, as Alexis Tsipras would say. <strong data-start=\"3208\" data-end=\"3228\" data-is-last-node=\"\">We will not be bored.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>This article was published at liberal.gr<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The race for second place is on.
