Greece, which is also reflected in the numbers of the <b>polls<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>It was known that the <b>PASOK<\/b>&#8216;s ratings in Thessaloniki were not particularly high. And things got worse after the resignation of <b>Charis Kastanidis<\/b> and <b>Antonis Saoulidis<\/b>, the two executives who came first in crosses with the party.<\/p>\n<p>According to a poll conducted in Thessaloniki, <b>PASOK<\/b> comes&#8230; fifth, behind <b>New Democracy<\/b>, <b>Maria Karystianou<\/b>, <b>Alexis Tsipras<\/b> and <b>Kyriakos Velopoulos<\/b>. And with a particularly low percentage.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, however, apart from <b>New Democracy<\/b> which has a double-digit percentage and <b>Maria Karustianou<\/b> which barely has a double-digit number, the other formations are all in single digits. But when they talk about winning by even one vote in Charilaou Trikoupis and there are polls that show you as the fifth party in the second largest city in the country, something is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>And this is a poll before the revelations about the <b>Androulakis<\/b> property and the one million abroad that he forgot to declare on his &#8220;Behind the Scenes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It is true that <b>PASOK<\/b> in the big urban centres is in trouble. As well as in many regions of northern Greece, as in many prefectures it comes third or fourth party.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, for what it&#8217;s worth, the names of the parliamentary candidates in the poll questionnaires show a weak, at least for now, ballot for <b>PASOK<\/b>: <b>Rania Thraskia<\/b> and <b>Petros Pappas<\/b> who joined the party from <b>Syriza<\/b> and beyond that, cadres who were considered with <b>PASOK<\/b> and in 2023 but failed to get elected.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that&#8217;s why <b>some people in PASOK started to cunningly question the polls<\/b>, resulting in <b>the well-known pollster Stratos Fanaras putting the various cunning<\/b> of Charilaou Trikoupis in their place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that PASOK is facing great turbulence mainly in Thessaloniki but also in Northern Greece in general, which is reflected in the numbers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
