A “cold” a “heat” even from government officials who are said to know more than anyone the thoughts of the prime minister.

The entire opposition and the majority of the coalition may be preparing for elections, but a new statement by George Gerapetritis came to put a partial brake on the scenarios that are circulating. “There are many more reasons, let me say this, not to hold elections. Because today we have a very stable government, it is very solid. He has, if you want, the trust not only of the Parliament, but he also has the trust of the Greek people “, said the Minister of State in “Parapolitika FM”. A “cold” a “heat” even from government officials who are said to know more than anyone the thoughts of the prime minister.
Currently the “pros” and the “cons” are weighed of early recourse to the polls by all party staffs. Not only of ND. The equation is difficult, but those who want the polls to be set up very soon, on a Sunday in September, argue as follows:
– The uncertainty that hides the coming winter on many fronts, dominated by the energy crisis and accuracy, even a new resurgence of the pandemic are two elements that can not be ignored. And perhaps it is the argument that so far is “rolling the scales” of the elections.
– It is important that the ND poll does not deteriorate. Entering the fourth year always frightens governments and therefore the timing of the popular verdict for the majority favors the beginning of autumn.
– Burning the simple analog, as soon as possible, will help the blue faction to convince its voters that the “loose vote” is its great enemy against SYRIZA. It is recalled that in Koumoundourou they insist on the narrative of the formation of a progressive government from the first Sunday.
– The use of the climate, which will bring the excellent course of tourism, will have better election results in the fall. The euphoria in the ranks of businessmen, workers and the world will still be fresh and will be reflected in the blue ballots.
– The announcement of elections near August 20, when the country will formally leave the enhanced supervision, will give impetus to the election campaign.
Proponents of completing the government’s constitutional term see it six basic things:
– The advantage of surprise has been lost. Everyone is now waiting for early ballot boxes to be set up starting their election campaign.
– It will be a strengthening of the institutional profile of the prime minister if he stays true to his commitment that the elections will take place in the spring of 2023. Leaving behind all the scenarios and analyzes of his statements.
– Choosing the end of the term has the advantage of a final refresh of the cabinet in order for new people to run with more appetite the government work.
– The opposition that has invested all its money in the elections in September “burns” in the run.
– A series of measures, such as increases in pensions from the beginning of the year, the abolition of the solidarity contribution for all, as well as new tax exemptions will come to show the importance that the government attaches to social policy. And of course the return of the country to the investment level.
– Those who believe that PASOK will not be kept in the 15% zone see that in the long run ND could catch more voters from this area.
In any case, he will play a decisive role in the decisions of the Prime Minister dealing with fires during the summer months and the course of the Greek-Turks. Mr. Mitsotakis continues the tours all over the country with a focus on either the inauguration of finished projects or the announcement of the start of work in those where the studies have matured.
