The expansion of PASOK<\/b> is not going so well, so the party has been forced to pick up several former members of Mera25<\/b>‘s Giannis Varoufakis<\/b>.<\/p>\n
One of the issues being hotly debated among the Harilaou Trikoupis cadres about the famous expansion of PASOK<\/b> is the cadres the party has picked up from Mera25<\/b>. Executives who were once frontline members of the Varoufakis party.<\/p>\n
For example, some time ago, PASOK<\/b> was joined by former Mera25<\/b> MP, Maria Apatzidi<\/b>, who in the past has made controversial statements about the illegal Turkish-Turkish memorandum while speaking in Parliament, wearing a Tempi blouse, in a climax of populism and instrumentalization. She had not asked herself what good the election of Pierrakakis<\/b> to the presidency of the Eurogroup would do Greece.<\/p>\n
But the lesson was not learned for Nikos Androulakis<\/b> and the new expansion of PASOK<\/b> brought more Mera25<\/b> members to the party. Thus, it was announced that the former Mera25<\/b> MP, Angeliki Adamopoulou<\/b>, who also spent some time in Syriza<\/b>, joined the party.<\/p>\n
She had previously stated from the Parliament that it is legitimate to have a framework of… violence in society, as there is inequality: “Violence is a law of the land. And it is a social law because the root cause of these phenomena is social inequalities. All these have a logical consequence of social reactions within very legitimate limits of violence.”<\/p>\n
Also announced was the accession of Eva Abazi<\/b>, who was running as a candidate for parliament with the party of Yanis Varoufakis<\/b>. She had previously appealed to the Council of State to prevent police officers from having cameras in Exarchia and other areas of Athens.<\/p>\n
Many in PASOK<\/b> say ironically that the party has acquired an internal party “tendency of Varoufakis<\/b> and Mera25<\/b>” while wondering how the leadership can accept members from a party that is against the European Union and beyond. <\/p>\n
Also a lot of talk in the party about the fact that enlargement is not about the centre<\/b>, a key area that PASOK<\/b> should target, but the far left, from which the party has at least something to gain.<\/p>\n
However, most people do not blame the failed enlargement on Kosta Skandalidis<\/b>, who heads the enlargement committee, but on Nikos Androulakis<\/b> himself, as it is he who makes the final decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
