With the right, PASOK wants to enter the new era by broadcasting one message of unity of executives and commitment to the goal of restoring the movement on a trajectory of power. The priorities will be described by Nikos Androulakis at the first meeting of the Central Political Committee. The results show a comfortable predominance of the new president. Of the “300” it is estimated that 200 members are close to him, 70 belong to his environment George Papandreou20 στον Andrea Loverdo and another 10 executives are close to Pavlos Christidis. In Charilaou Trikoupi they talk about the age renewal of the new body with many 30-somethings and 40-somethings gaining an important say and standing out within the party.

According to party sources, Nikos Androulakis will bring issues to the forefront of the agenda, such as high cost of living of the Greek family, the scandalous fuel profitsthe precision wavethe widening social inequalities and problems of young people. After the three-day Conference, the president prepares a series of interventions with this theme and intensive tours in neighborhoods of Athens and cities in the region. As Charilaou Trikoupi’s executives noted, tangible programmatic solutions to citizens’ problems, such as the issue of energy with the ceiling in the retail adjustment clause and the party’s positions on social housing, have shown that they address society’s concerns.

Making a “fund” after the Congress and the emergence of the new Central Political Committee, in Charilaou Trikoupi they pointed out the dynamic and massive “present” of the citizens, which showed the growing dynamics of the party, while the composition of the new KPE reflects the unifying atmosphere with representation of all trends.

Results

He came out first with 2,258 votes Andreas Spyropoulos, a close associate of Nikos Androulakis, who is to be elected new secretary by the Central Political Committee. The current secretary of the party was elected second with 1,436 votes. Manolis Christodoulakis. Some see his face expressing the main pole of the opposition within PASOK, as his candidacy was supported by those from the “Papandreou” and “Gennimatika” blocs. Third came out Stefanos Xekalakis with 1,204 votes, a close associate of Nikos Androulakis.

Sixth with 838 votes was elected the former spokesman, but also a candidate for the presidency Pavlos Christidis.

The first woman in votes (663) who was elected in 29th place is Efi Halatsi and comes from the Papandreou side.

The election of the party’s Political Council (31 members) is awaited with interest. It will be the flexible body that will meet frequently, draw the political line and is expected to be represented by all trends.

Objections to SYRIZA

It is up to SYRIZA at the first meeting of the new Central Committee, most likely on Sunday, to elect the Political Council and the secretary. “Umbrella” disagrees with the distribution made regarding the executives of the enlargement. That is, those who joined the party after 2019 and come from ΔΗΜΑΡτη BRIDGE and other collectives. A relevant letter reached both Alexis Tsipras and the chairman of the Central Election Commission, Elias Nikolakopoulos.

In their text, the minority side supports:

“The climate has also been aggravated by posts on social media as the serious issue of the method followed for the satisfaction of 20% of the enlargement comes to the surface, as the Court has decided in this regard. In particular, the list of those who had been included in the relevant list of candidates with an indication of enlargement was served only after the voting process, while it should be known a few days after the end of the Congress and should of course be at the discretion of the party members who voted. As a result, the members of the party did not know who were in the enlargement as non-members, who represented which component or who did not want to be considered an enlargement even though they became members of the party after 1/1 / ’19. The choice to satisfy not only as a matter of priority but exclusively the relevant lists of candidates from the groupings and not from those who did not participate in them in the order of cross-donation, has apparently led to the final inclusion of more than 70 instead of 60 with the enlargement quota. “Obviously several of them with much fewer votes in Attica and the Region than others who were formally elected in the order of crucifixion.”

The quota was “up to 20%” remind members of the ranks of the “allies” and that since some “free enlargement” managed to get elected without it there was no reason to be excluded.

THE Elias Nikolakopoulos following the objections lodged sent a letter to Alexis Tsipras and Dimitris Tzanakopoulos with which, according to information, he proposed a small increase in the members of the Central Committee (up to 5%). In this way the issue could be resolved without any side being dissatisfied. Koumoundourou emphasizes that the disagreements are of minor importance, as 46 of the 60 members provided for in the quota were elected from the first distribution and in fact many of them with a high number of crosses.
