The basketball player of Panathinaikos, Nikos Pappas, had recently stated that he sees very positively the possibility of running as a candidate for the municipality of Athens. It is a fact that the communication he has with Alexis Tsipras is at a very good level, as party sources admit. Yesterday another important step was taken, as, according to information from skai.gr, the possibility of being supported by the party was also included in the meeting of the Political Secretariat. The reactions from the members of the organization were positive.

In addition to the parliamentary elections, the municipal elections were also on the table of the meeting, with the Municipality of Athens, naturally, gathering all the lights. SYRIZA will put “three points” even on Sunday at its meeting Central Committee announcing the international basketball player for the Municipality of Athens? Executives of the official opposition, who spoke to skai.gr, do not rule it out. The 33-year-old athlete is said to have taken the matter very seriously.

As far as Piraeus is concerned, the former deputy governor, Giorgos Gavrilis, who was also discussed in P.G., is considered “locked”. It is recalled that he had left SYRIZA in August 2015, after the split and creation of LAE. His candidacy is considered to be an opening of Koumoundourou to the left.
