When will the elections be held? – The phrase “until the end” and the new “use” Mitsotakis

By Penelope Galliou

“To the end” is a phrase that is often heard recently in the political debate, but it also seems that for Megaros Maximos it is the “passepartout” phrase and exhortation that fits all the circumstances of the pre-election period that the country has been informally going through for a long time.

He himself Prime Minister many times he has announced in all directions and to everyone interested that the government term will go “to the end” and elections will be held at the end of the constitutional term of the current government.

At every opportunity, like yesterday’s meeting of the Council of Ministers, Kyriakos Mitsotakis does not fail to push his Ministers to complete their work and planning “to the end”. On the one hand, this was the interpretation of the new prime minister’s “use” at the end of the meeting of the Council of Ministers with Kyriakos Mitsotakis to allegedly say to the government officials that “this will not be the last ministerial we do” and consequently not to put the pencils down. However, this “use” also has an additional reading, that the government’s time has not yet ended and the announcement of the elections may not be as close as the relevant scenarios make it out to be.

In any case, the government continues its legislative work unhindered, submitting a series of new bills and regulations to be voted on in Parliament, despite the decision of Alexis Tsipras that SYRIZA abstain from the votes that will be held until the elections.

The mark of the government’s legislative barrage was also reflected in the Council of Ministers, where the draft laws that will be submitted in the near future were discussed, such as the national plan for homelessness, the amendment of the national plan for waste management and two bills of the Ministry of Justice .

The legislative initiative of the government that was submitted as an amendment to the Parliament, which blocks participation in the elections, has a weighty substantive as well as symbolic dimension formations like the Kasidiari party. An initiative that automatically puts before their responsibilities also the other parliamentary parties from which the government seeks consensus from the first moment and it seems that it will pursue it “until the end”. “It is the duty of all of us, it is the duty of the political forces of the country to exhaust every constitutional possibility, so that black pages of Greek political history do not return and those who plot against the Democracy, taking advantage of the tolerance that the Democracy itself demonstrates, are not given a foothold to them. It is the time of responsibility, it is the time of the common response for all of us”, the government representative emphasized.

The government’s pursuit, however, for now does not seem to be achieved, with the government staff estimating that SYRIZA will try to torpedo the consensus, even though it is a major issue of democracy that concerns the exclusion from the elections of the condemned members of the AXA.

For this reason and the Ministry of Interior since in his announcement he emphatically clarifies that the provision submitted “is completely compatible with the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights” he analyzes the reasoning behind the regulation and concludes “It is the duty of the local political forces to exhaust every constitutional possibility so that they do not black pages of Greek political history should not be brought back and those who slander democracy, taking advantage of the tolerance that democracy itself exhibits, should not be given a foothold. It is the time of responsibility for all of us”.
