There is unrest and division within PASOK<\/b> over the partnerships and messages sent by Anna Diamantopoulou<\/b> and Paulos Geroulanos<\/b>.<\/p>\n
In recent days both Anna Diamantopoulou<\/b> and Paulos Geroulanos<\/b> have made sure to send their own messages to the leadership of Nikos Androulakis<\/b> regarding the partnerships. Messages that are causing turmoil in the party.<\/p>\n
First Anna Diamantopoulou said that PASOK cannot under any circumstances cooperate with Alexis Tsipras<\/b>, as everyone remembers his governmental past. At the same time, she stressed that PASOK’s main rival is New Democracy<\/b> but until the elections, a formulation that for many opens the door for a future cooperation with Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b>, if required.<\/p>\n
Almost in the same vein was Pavlos Geroulanos<\/b>, who, while stressing that New Democracy<\/b> must go, said something else that provoked discussion at Charilaou Trikoupis: that PASOK<\/b> will work with whoever agrees with its agenda, without excluding New Democracy<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The PASOK<\/b> leadership knows that these statements are not accidental and are openings to both the government and a centrist audience, regardless of whether Nikos Androulakis<\/b> has decided to follow the rhetoric of Zoe Konstantopoulou<\/b>. As an old PASOK<\/b> parliamentarian used to say, there are serious and experienced members of the party who are looking beyond the elections, and especially the possibility that the country may not be governed.<\/p>\nThe reactions<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
The Geroulanou<\/b> – Diamantopoulou<\/b> line finds many within PASOK<\/b> in agreement, as many executives admit behind closed doors that a cooperation with New Democracy<\/b> cannot be ruled out, especially if it is far ahead in the elections. <\/p>\n
However, in PASOK<\/b> there is an equally strong side that rules out any possibility of cooperation with New Democracy<\/b>, even if the country remains ungovernable. The main spokesman for this line is Charis Doukas<\/b>, who not only does not want to talk about cooperation with Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b> but also converges politically with Alexis Tsipras<\/b>.<\/p>\n
As Charis Doukas<\/b> said in an interview about what Anna Diamantopoulou claimed, we are neither in 2015, nor in 2019 for PASOK to quarrel with Alexis Tsipras<\/b> and stressed that no one should be excluded from progressive governance with the aim of removing New Democracy<\/b>. He even responded to what Paulos Geroulanos<\/b> said that “No, we will not discuss with everyone, not with New Democracy we are not discussing”.<\/b><\/p>\n
There are not a few people who say that PASOK<\/b> after the elections will find a way to approach Alexis Tsipras<\/b>, besides, there are already persons and powerful centers that promote such a scenario.<\/p>\n
In short, a dispute is developing in PASOK<\/b> about the strategy the party should follow after the elections. Either way, most people are predicting that the election result will not be at all positive for Nikos Androulakis<\/b> and developments will be launched that will go beyond the party’s chairman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
