The Nikos Androulakis is ramping up the heat on bugging and OPEKEPE<\/b>, attempting to spread the political word<\/b> of a PASOK<\/b> under suffocating pressure<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The image of a political leader desperately trying to keep his party standing<\/b> in an ever more suffocating political environment<\/b> dominated Nikos Androulakis’ new burst in the Parliament<\/b>. Against a backdrop of wiretapping, the OPEKEPE<\/b> and a href=”https:\/\/tomanifesto.gr\/kataggelies”>accusations of “parastatalism”, the PASOK<\/b> again chose the script of extreme polarization<\/b>, raising slumpy tones against the government<\/b> and personally Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b>. Only the more he tries to appear as an “institutional punisher”<\/b>, the more he resembles a political leader who sees the ground disappearing from under his feet,<\/b> as the Central Left<\/b> is being torn apart between the new Tsipras entity, the mobility of Karystianos<\/b> and the constant popular stagnation of PASOK<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The problem for Charilaou Trikoupis<\/b> is that now every public intervention by Nikos Androulakis<\/b> looks like an episode of a low-budget political thriller<\/b>. “Parastate”, “gangs”, “institutional aberrations<\/b>“, “darkness”, “thuggery”. The same words, the same dramatic staging<\/b>, the same attempt to set up a picture of a country on the verge of democratic collapse<\/b>. Except that society seems not to share the permanent climate of political hysteria that PASOK attempts to cultivate<\/b> every time the polls don’t say what it would like<\/b>.<\/p>\nFrom “institutional player”… to TV prosecutor
<\/h3>\n
Androulakis has been attempting to invest politically in his personal wiretapping case for almost four years now, as if it were the only political capital he has. And the more time passes, the more the narrative seems to be running out of communication. The image of a leader who appears daily angry, accusatory and perpetually indignant is beginning to resemble more of a TV commentator of complaints than a prime ministerial candidate with a government proposal.<\/p>\n
But behind the high tensions and heavy words, PASOK is well aware of the real threat. And it is not just across the street, in the Mansion House. It is right next to them, in the space of the centre-left that is fragmenting again with Tsipras returning, new political formations springing up and PASOK in danger of being permanently trapped in the role of a permanent protest party. This is why the tension is rising so high: because when the political angst grows, the cries get louder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
