Androulakis<\/a><\/b> takes his panic to the political scene and raises the stakes with extreme references<\/b> to address his problems inside and outside PASOK<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The PASOK president went to parliament and spoke of a “dilemma<\/b>” between the prime minister and ND<\/b> MPs. Yes, that’s what the head of the supposedly serious opposition said,<\/b> showing that in the face of his anxiety about his political future he is willing to turn political life into an arena.<\/p>\n

What did he say? That Pavlos Marinakis<\/b>‘s answer to a question regarding whether MPs would be re- candidates<\/b> is part of a deal, even expressing his view that this would happen even if they were convicted<\/b>, but that this is nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

Nikos Androulakis’ problem is that he is trying to put into practice the position of Polakis <\/b>who called for prison <\/b>political opponents to be shut down in order for Syriza<\/b> to win the 2019<\/b> elections. It seeks to publicize<\/b> the political life of the country in order to save itself politically. It chooses toxicity<\/b> and populism<\/b> to cope with the low poll flights, which continue, and internal party problems.<\/b><\/p>\n

He is writing off Alexis Tsipras to face him in the battle for second place<\/b>, choosing to appeal to the same audience as the former Syriza president who says he will announce his new party<\/b> soon.<\/p>\n

She points to the fact that the prime minister himself has called for acceleration of procedures<\/b> so that MPs who have requested his immunity<\/b> to be lifted<\/b> do not find themselves at the mercy of court cases. And he disregards the presumption of innocence<\/b>, not caring about the vilification of individuals, just as Alexis Tsipras did, who is now threatening him with a comeback.<\/p>\n

It is now clear that Nikos Androulakis was expecting unfavourable developments<\/b> in the ND Parliamentary Group. Possibly even an open clash with the Prime Minister to support the early election narrative,<\/b>even if only to create rallying in his party.<\/p>\n

The problem is that in the polls<\/b>, despite the attrition of the ND, which is undergoing a war without limits, PASOK<\/b> and himself<\/b> are not gaining the slightest bit or are showing a subtle uptick that is lost with the emergence of parties like Alexis Tsipras<\/b> and Maria Karystianou<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n

May: PASOK is currently doing to ND<\/b> what SYRIZA<\/b> did – and suffered together with ND – with the Novartis<\/b> plot. Its executives were corrupted. Fofi Gennimata as<\/b> party president did not put anyone<\/b> off the ballot<\/b>, no matter if Vangelis Venizelos<\/b> chose not to run in the 2019 elections because of his disagreement with the late head of the then KINAL<\/b>. And how could this be done before a process against political figures is completed? How is it possible for this party to raise such an issue and talk of a dilemma? And why hasn’t Nikos Androulakis himself come out to say that 7 members of his party<\/b>, for whom immunity has been lifted, will not be candidates in the next elections?<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
