The scenarios that want PASOK to be unbearably pressured after the first elections between the “blocs” ND and SYRIZA do not overlook Charilaou Trikoupi.

The PASOK constantly talks about his political autonomy. And it’s perfectly normal. Which party would “commit suicide” in the run-up to the elections by talking about any cooperation before the polls are even set up and measure its strength? Even those who openly flirt with it admit that they do not expect much before the popular verdict. It is typical what Alexis Tsipras said speaking to “EURACTIV” who referred the conversation for later. He stressed that he respects Androulakis’ choice not to show his program papers for reasons of pre-election expediency. “At some point, however, he will have to open them”reported features.
It is a fact that the presidency of Androulaki brought another air and almost doubled the percentages of the party compared to 2019. To remain or even to pass over the zone of 14% -15% is the big bet. At the first meeting of the Political Council the electoral readiness signal. A priority is the program which is constantly updated. Former Minister Nikos Christodoulakis will have the general order. Charilaou Trikoupi has no doubt that the prime minister will call early elections in September. Based on this parameter, the design is done and the ballot papers have slowly started to be formed. The goal is for 80% of them to be ready by the end of July.
The preparation is comprehensive. And at the level of rhetoric. The scenarios that want PASOK to be unbearably pressured after the first elections between the “blocs” ND and SYRIZA do not overlook Charilaou Trikoupi. History has shown that polarization in repeat elections does not help small parties and the dilemma of anarchy catalyzes the conscience of voters in favor of the “big ones”. The statement of Nikos Androulakis at SKAI radio and to Pavlos Tsimas could be interpreted as the first “open window” left by the PASOK president for the possibility of post-election cooperation.
In a relevant question, Mr. Androulakis stated that we “We will fight for the country to have stability from the first Sunday. How is this going to be done; This will be chosen by the Greek people. Months before the elections, based on opinion polls, I can not theorize on the so-called argument of our opponents “who will you go with”. When you ask them who they will go with, they say what the Greek people and the popular verdict say. When I say exactly the same thing, they say that Androulakis is hiding “. The president of PASOK added that “We say clearly, we will go with our ideas, with our positions. We want to have a strong mandate. “The stronger we are, the more chances the Greek people have for stability and a progressive government with Social Democracy at its core and with specific priorities.”
Many interpretations can be given, but if Mr. Androulakis did not mean that PASOK will be the first party then he seems to start discussing what he will do after the first elections. Without, of course, opening his papers further. Guide will in any case be the result of the ballot box that will give him or not room for maneuver. The tweet of the head of the parliamentary group, Michalis Katrini, also has a lot to say about whether there is any kind of programmatic convergence: “We believe that the citizens listened to us and will give us a very good percentage that will mark the return of PASOK to a leading role. “Any discussion on post-election cooperation has no prerequisites and conditions other than the content of the government.”
