More and more… Syriza<\/b> resembles PASOK<\/b> attempting to square the circle of political confrontation.<\/b><\/p>\n
At the first meeting of the new Politburo, in addition to the intra-party firing aimed at Nikos Androulakis<\/b> and his choices, there was also an attempt to make PASOK act like another… SYRIZA<\/b> in order to form a line that would characterize ND<\/b> and the government of course, and the rest of the opposition parties as a kind of potential alliances after the electoral battle.<\/b><\/p>\n
In this context, according to reports, the “two-front” fight<\/b> that was set as a tactic and involved a clash with the ruling party on the one hand and with the parties -opponents on the left, existing and upcoming- is being transformed into a… single-front against ND and a light version that will move in the context of political… competition.<\/b><\/p>\n
In essence, the tactic of hard or rather extreme rock against the government is being authenticated with rhetoric that refers to protest parties and indignados of the upper and lower squares<\/b> with plenty of doses of Aurianism<\/b> from the 1980s.<\/p>\n
The reality is that Nikos Androulakis’ PASOK – as Haris Castanidis called it, confirming all those who have defined it in a similar way from time to time – is once again attempting to tread in two boats,<\/b> perhaps this time in three.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, he is presenting ND as the “enemy” and on the other hand, as a political opponent, the opposition parties that identify themselves as progressive, but with which he does not seek to cause a rupture<\/b> in the context of an imaginary cooperation for the creation of a government after the elections.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that PASOK is avoiding raising its voice. Yes, it accuses Alexis Tsipras<\/b> on a personal level, but does not go to extremes<\/b> while not responding in a similar vein to criticisms from parties and members of the Left. That is, he seeks to show a… political culture, in contrast to the extremes against Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the New Democracy.<\/p>\n
A practice that was also followed at some point by Alexis Tsipras’ SYRIZA, but which ultimately did not go so well<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n
However, whether this decision of a unilateralism will be maintained after Tsipras emerges as party leader is something that remains to be seen since the competition will be fierce and linked to the political survival<\/b> of both sides and the dominance of the space they operate in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
