What is the common element for ND, SYRIZA and PASOK? The battle of the center.
By Antonis Anzoletou
THE case of follow-ups may be at the top of the news these days, but the parties are not leaving behind their electoral plans. The prime minister’s constant assurances that the polls will be held at the end of the four-year period have merely postponed the compilation of the ballots to September. After all, the burden of the economic staffs of the parties has also fallen on the completion of their programs in view of the TIF. Kyriakos Mitsotakis will be in Thessaloniki on September 10-11 and Alexis Tsipras on September 17-18.
What is the common element for ND, SYRIZA and PASOK? The battle of the center. That is where the committees that review the applications and CVs of the candidates have given their attention. Qualitative data from past polls are carefully scrutinized and at local level executives with moderate profiles who are socially active are sought. If they also come from the middle ground, so much the better. Transcriptology between municipal factions is another important field that plays a special role even at the level of impressions. The party staffs are well aware that if they include in their ranks executives with a positive sign from rival – neighboring camps, they will gain important points on the way to the elections. And at the regional level this is something that is of particular importance.
The “big three” are largely looking to renew their ballots. They don’t think of sidelining their top and recognized executives, that would be risky since everyone has their own audience. However, the new faces will be the big bet of the next election. It may also be the means for disillusioned voters who stayed away from the last contests to return to the screens. He invested a lot in this Kyriakos Mitsotakis in 2019 by appointing new executives from PASOK to the cabinet. It was a strategy that also worked for him on Piraeus Street, and they wanted to repeat the same strategy. Especially if it is confirmed that the rift with Harilaou Trikoupis is very deep after the case of monitoring his mobile phone Nikos Androulakis.
To SYRIZA with frontispiece, the think tank is looking for the technocratic executives who will come forward, leaving behind the objections that existed in 2015 and 2019 for renewal and openings. After all, they talk about an “oversupply of candidates”. PASOK also follows the strategy of renewal, wanting to show that after Nikos Androulakis takes over the presidency, the party will continue to be refreshed. The return of some names that have written their own history in the movement will be a gain and therefore contacts with historical figures have not stopped. The common path that the first three parties have taken also concerns the formation of the Statehood ballot. As usual, it will be announced last with Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Alexis Tsipras and Nikos Androulakis having the first and last words.
