The middle class is the “proud bride” who three years ago “punished” Alexis Tsipras, who is now trying to win her back – At the same time the government with Fuel Pass and Power Pass is trying to repair the damage caused by wave of accuracy.

Certain regions and social groups are targeting the parties in the informal pre-election period that has begun. The middle class is the “multicolored bride”, since it is undoubtedly the regulator of the ballot box.
Three years ago, he “punished” SYRIZA for the over-taxation and now Alexis Tsipras is giving a street fight in order to repatriate the voters of 2015. At the same time, the government with the Fuel Pass and Power Pass attempts to rectify the damage caused by the wave of market accuracy.
Emphasis is also placed on the rural world with the leaders visiting areas with agricultural characteristics.
With this reasoning, Nikos Androulakis was in Larissa. The staffs have taken “pencil and paper” and are analyzing the 2019 ballots by looking at their strong and weak papers. The main burden of the campaign has been taken over by the leaders of the factions, however MPs, as well as executives, are in their constituencies every week from Thursday afternoon.
The Attica Basin is always the regulator of elections. A typical example of intense mobility is the Western Sector of Athens. ND is looking to change the image of 2019. SYRIZA recorded 38.6%, leaving behind the current majority of 9 points.
The information, in fact, that they want Alexis Tsipras to promote Efi Ahtsioglou and Rena Dourou to the specific list of the party makes the battle even more difficult.
In recent months, many visits have been made to the area by ND members, led by the party’s secretary, Pavlos Marinakis, in order to communicate the government’s program and to be informed about the problems in the area. In this strategy, the candidacy of Michalis Chrysochoidis is estimated to strengthen the ballot and may attract central voters.
Another region that ND has lost weight is B ‘Piraeus which also SYRIZA prevailed with about 8%. Castles for the ruling party in Attica is the Northern Sector where the difference from SYRIZA in 2019 was over 17 points. In A ‘Piraeus and to East Attica the distance had reached 14 points, while the gap was large in A ‘Athens about 11%.
The tour calendar is rich for ND. On July 5 the prefecture Etoloakarnania will be visited by Deputy Minister of Development Nikos Papathanasis, Deputy Minister of Justice George Kotsiras and Secretary General of Digital Government Leonidas Christopoulos. On July 6, the Minister of National Defense Nikos Panagiotopoulos will be in the prefecture of Florina together with the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure George Karagiannis, while on the same day the prefecture of Pieria will be led by Deputy Finance Minister Theodoros Skylakakis accompanied by Deputy Minister Apostolos Vezyropoulos.
On July 6, Finance Minister Christos Staikouras will tour at prefecture of Rodopi. Visits of ministers and executives of the blue faction are already planned in Ilia, Laconia, Larissa, Karditsa and Evia.
For Arta, Xanthi and Achaia in the official opposition believe that they will not have a problem, as in 2019 were 3 of the 10 regions they won. Where they focus is Crete because of the presence of Nikos Androulakis.
For prefecture of Chania the powerful Pavlos Polakis is a good “paper” for SYRIZA. He may in some cases have provoked with his interventions, however there is a loyal audience that follows him. In the previous elections, SYRIZA had a percentage of 37.35%, ND 34.05% and KINAL 6.54%. The information states that George Stathakis will now choose a region of Athens.
In the prefecture of Heraklionwhich is also the place of origin of Nikos Androulakis, PASOK in the elections held three years ago was stronger, reaching 11.38%.
It is not ruled out that Charilaou Trikoupi will significantly increase its forces, but not to the extent that SYRIZA is threatened, Koumoundourou’s sources claim. Besides, it had a safe difference from ND, which exceeded 13 points. In Lassithi – where SYRIZA had a percentage of 34.57%, ND 34.32% and KINAL 15.40% – things are different. The official opposition believes that in order for PASOK to become an MP, there must be a shift of 4,500 votes, which is considered a very large number.
As far as Rethymno is concerned, SYRIZA and Andreas Xanthos seem to be threatened only by ND as in the previous electoral contest the current official opposition had 36.99%, ND 36.55% against 9.82% of PASOK. In Charilaou Trikoupi, however, they appear particularly optimistic about the percentages they will record in the former “green castle”.
