Reorganization, change of the electoral law or early polls will ultimately be chosen by Kyriakos Mitsotakis; Only the first one is seen by the majority of experienced parliamentarians. None of the three are supported by most blue strains. At Maximos, they have put their weight on speeding up government work with the priority of intercepting accuracy and they consider that any other discussion is disorienting. The information states that the prime minister asked at the morning coffee of the previous week to put a “brake” on the relevant restructuring scenario. If it is considered certain, however, that he has thrown out of the drawer all the circled dates for appealing to the popular verdict in the fall, a freshening up in the cabinet could be considered refreshing.
If he finally decides to make some changes in the portfolios, he is not expected to open his papers before on the fifteenth of August. The message in such a case will be clear: the government still has a lot of work to do in the last turn before the polls. Government changes at the end of summer are not uncommon. The horizon for the parties in this period is always the TIF. It is recalled that the prime minister had made a mini and a bigger reshuffle last year in August, while Alexis Tsipras had done the same in August 2018, a year before his term ended. It is not excluded that he will finally choose new parliamentary persons to take portfolios or make changes at the level of deputy ministers. Sectors related to the economy and the management of the global energy crisis have been in the spotlight in recent times. Ministers who have completed their cycle are likely to move to another post. THE search for people from the center it is a pre-election move that would signal the dominance of the ND and the importance that Kyriakos Mitsotakis gives to the middle ground.
In any case, however, the transformation cannot be considered a simple movement. It always causes a little disturbance mainly from the departed, but also from all those who have reached near the “spring”, but have not “drank water” in the last three years. Kyriakos Mitsotakis does not wish to have disgruntled executives in a pre-election period, however corrective interventions are needed as the elections approach. And the end of enhanced surveillance next month is a good opportunity for a restart.
Regarding the electoral law, the truth is that Kyriakos Mitsotakis now has time to proceed with a change. Such a move goes against the narrative of stability that he himself put on the table so that the country does not remain ungovernable in critical moments. A majority of 158 MPs is not under threat unlike a government moving close to the “151” threshold. The tiered bonus requires a large percentage for a strong self-reliance. The example of 1993 and the fall of the government of his father, Constantinos Mitsotakis, is certainly a period engraved deeply in the prime minister’s consciousness. There are, however, some things in politics that in the name of institutionalism cannot stand. Running out of the government’s constitutional term, despite the difficult winter ahead, is a consistent political stance. Overturning an electoral law that has not even been implemented can hardly be justified. That is why the prime minister has denied such a possibility, while Giannis Oikonomou in all the recent political editors’ updates he refers to his earlier statements.
