With only one pending of the Political Council and the secretary of the Central Committee in SYRIZA, the three largest parliamentary forces have completed their internal party processes. The legend of the three Congresses is one: The leaders take over the situation and put the parties on a pre-election trajectory.
May the economic crisis – due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine deepen – and the parallelism with the period of the memoranda to be justified, political correlations, however, can not be compared with a decade ago. The rulers from the post-colonial period onwards had been held responsible for the situation in which the country had found itself with voters punishing them. In May 2012, ND (18.85%) and PASOK (13.18%) had reduced their forces, putting SYRIZA (16.78%) in the game of power. At historical lows, the three “strong” did not reach 50% of the electorate. Today the polls place in order SW, SYRIZA and PASOK about 70% and Nikos Androulakis’s party is added to the bipolarity. The party mechanisms seem to be enduring and this was evident from the large turnout of members in the internal party processes.
Today’s official opposition, which became a government in 2015 with just 30,000 members, managed to mobilize its voters. He certainly had to make a big one change in the articles of association which led to the re-election of Alexis Tsipras to the presidency from the party base. ND played the game of the center where it dominates and gave priority to the approach of the lower social strata. The PASOK he emphatically insisted on his political autonomy. «Right and left maintenance“Complained Nikos Androulakis in his speech that closed the Congress of the party in the past three days.
The next day is crucial for ND, SYRIZA and PASOK. They want to catch the social pulse and make one good race to the polls whenever they are set up. For the blue faction, the three-year cycle in power closes in July and any damage is considered normal. As long as it is reversible. This is the primary goal and for this the promises from Maximou, that as long as the economic crisis lasts the state will be on the side of the citizens are continuous. Assistant in the effort of Kyriakos Mitsotakis for the image of the government was his presence in the White House and in Congress. Could a reshuffle give a freshness and change some arrhythmias within the cabinet?
The Prime Minister returns from Davos on Wednesday, Thursday he is expected to see the President of the Republic and a cabinet is scheduled for Friday. Skai.gr since May 18 had reported on this possibility. It could also be interpreted as message that the completion of the four years remains the primary goal, but also a “bell” to the ministers who are thinking of downloading the pencils. THE government representative in the briefing of the political editors did not confirm the relevant scenarios and urged the journalists not to arrange anything for next Thursday except to be informed about the work of the cabinet on Friday. Final decisions have not been made despite the suggestions that exist. The TIF in September, in any case, is a good opportunity for Kyriakos Mitsotakis to take stock and present his new program.
THE SYRIZA lives with the popular anxiety. The big question after the Conference is a get a “breathAnd to show that he is following the government closely. After all, there is not much time left and Alexis Tsipras wants to be sure that his program has reached society and has been accepted to such an extent that it could give him a second chance. Koumoundourou’s executives convey a climate change that they receive from the tours they make. Nevertheless, the latest GPO poll, conducted on behalf of the newspaper “TA NEA”, shows the gap to open at 8.9 points.
THE Charilaou Trikoupi seems to be winning the first bet of maintaining its percentages in the zone of 14%, which are far from the 8.1% of 2019. PASOK has returned to the “eaves” and Nikos Androulakis is called to show the degrees of resilience he has against the pressure that the ND and SYRIZA and at the same time to convince for its program proposal.
A common challenge for all three? THE composition of ballots. New people, successful professionals, expansion and utilization to the maximum extent of the executives that continue to offer. The main body of candidacies for the new Parliament that will be formed is expected to be completed in the summer.
