The government<\/b> has also enlisted the Athens Bar Association<\/b> (AAA),<\/p>\n
acting as a “battering ram” to encircle the PASOK, <\/b>decided by a margin of one vote (following the Androulakis <\/b>line<\/a> for a one-vote victory) to call for the resignation of the Royal Court prosecutor Konstantinos Tzavellas! <\/b><\/p>\n
The unprecedented decision has political expediency<\/b> and in any case a strong partisan character related to the anxiety of Nikos Androulakis due to the imminent arrival of <\/b>Alexis Tsipras.<\/b><\/p>\n
We will try to explain why the president of PASOK, by “hating” the APA,is attacking the judiciary and personally the prime minister <\/b>trying to exclude the party under formation from being the one to lead the “hard rock” against New Democracy.<\/p>\n
Nikos Androulakis is seeking hegemony in the centre-left <\/b>through a fierce head-on clash with the government on rule of law issues and is now openly attacking Alexis Tsipras, <\/b>accusing him of “messianism” and considering him a “key sponsor” of New Democracy. <\/p>\n
The adoption of the harsh agenda of the APA and the resolution on the resignation of the Supreme Court prosecutor serve as proof that PASOK is the “real” opponent of the government,<\/b> closing the way to a new “invasion” of Alexis Tsipras.<\/b><\/p>\n
Since the decision of the IOA (taken by a marginal majority<\/b>) seems to be part of a wider political mound. <\/p>\n
However, the “hard rock” strategy and the head-on clash with the judiciary is a difficult knife for PASOK.<\/b>In addition to the fact that a large percentage of citizens (7 out of 10) appear sceptical of Nikos Androulakis’ tactics, there are analyses that speak of “a definitive break between PASOK and the centre”, <\/b>as moderate voters are averse to intense institutional confrontation and toxicity, <\/b>preferring stability and institutional dialogue.<\/p>\n
In any case, in his attempt to emerge as the “real opponent of Mitsotakis” and to prevent voter leakage to the new scheme that Alexis Tsipras seems to be preparing, Nikos Androulakis is putting the IOA ahead showing how hypocritical everything he claims about the rule of law and institutions is.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
