To take advantage of Tsipras’s absence from the parliamentary benches, Androulakis<\/b> is attempting to take advantage of the upcoming fight for the second seat.<\/p>\n
If one observes the moves of PASOK will see that it is attempting in every way to have Androulakis in the Parliament<\/b> and to make the familiar decadent statements about elections, political change and “Mitsotakis should go away<\/b>“.<\/p>\n
But the issue is not Kyriakos Mitsotakis and ND, but Alexis Tsipras, who is expected to announce a new party, causing angst in PASOK and Nikos Androulakis.<\/b> In this context, it is sought to register the presence of the president of the opposition – even if only by accident – as the person who leads the opposition as a whole<\/p>\n
In simple words, through his presence in Parliament, PASOK wants to proclaim Nikos Androulakis as the de facto political rival of Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b> and to be seen as the head of the (centre)left<\/b> against the incoming Alexis Tsipras, who, by leaving the Parliament to organise himself and others, has left the space free in the party he himself helped to create to become the official opposition.<\/p>\n
In essence, Androulakis’ moves and the whole tactic suggest that it’s all about second place in the national elections, which will be a game for two, but could be a game for three if Maria Karystianou shows some momentum<\/b>, which for now, however, seems to be waning.<\/p>\n
The PASOK president’s constant anger has to do with the anti-systemic vote<\/b>. A vote that is not concerned with what someone says, but who says it. It is exactly the same strategy as the one Alexis Tsipras had followed, just the times are not the same. And no matter how much Nikos Androulakis and the opposition as a whole may scaremonger, it is hard to convince the majority that the country is collapsing.<\/p>\n
Even the inquiry that he announced on the wiretapping serves this purpose, although at the end of the day he is in danger of getting screwed (again) thanks to Zoe Konstantopoulou, who always scores points with the anti-systemic public. But the PASOK president and the leadership team appear convinced that in parliament the opposition leader can make gains against his main rival who has lost this opportunity.<\/p>\n
Of course, Alexis Tsipras had also chosen this tactic when Nikos Androulakis was elected president of PASOK the first time without being a member of the parliamentary group, although it did not work out well for him and all he managed was to be ahead of PASOK in 2023.<\/p>\n
And one last thing.The president of PASOK, by calling on the… progressive parties to support the proposal for an inquiry that his party will submit, however, is essentially putting parties like Zoe Konstantopoulou’s in the game.<\/b><\/p>\n
At the same time, one could say that this is another rehearsal for any post-election collaborations since all of them are united by their obsessive effort to confront Kyriakos Mitsotakis in any way possible…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
