Finished just before 4pm, the meeting of the Executive Office of SYRIZA-PS under Alexis Tsipras and in collaboration with the Political Planning of the party. The meeting was held in view of the next election after yesterday’s shock suffered by the party of Koumundourou.

At the same time, Kyriakos Mitsotakis conveyed earlier to the political leaders that the government will propose speeding up the convening and dissolution of the new Parliament, so that parliamentary elections can be held on June 25. Parliament is expected to be sworn in on Sunday, May 28 and dissolve on Monday, May 29.

What led to the collapse of SYRIZA

After yesterday’s election result, it will be very difficult for SYRIZA-PS to overcome yesterday’s defeat. Introversion is again knocking at the door of SYRIZA and the executives faced the result with great reflection and embarrassment.

The percentages of the party collapsed, top executives were left out of Parliament and now the official opposition has a very difficult task. To regroup for the next crucial electoral battle in which he will not claim power but Alexis Tsipras will have to prove that SYRIZA remains the main pole of the center-left.

PASOK may not have scored an impressive percentage, but it entered a wedge in order to challenge its primacy for the first time since 2012.

The organs are expected to convene in the next few hours, and more specifically the Executive Office, because in SYRIZA they are now looking for the strategy and the narrative with which they will fight in the next polls. In the political scene, only one party remains strong and the second one is 20 points away. A “violent” change in the political scene that shows New Democracy as the absolute ruler of the game. Its primacy is said to have also been reflected in the young age group, where SYRIZA has had priority until now.

Popi Tsapanidou, Rania Svigou, Giorgos Vassiliadis, Euclides Tsakalotos, Alekos Flambouraris, Costas Poulakis, Olga Gerovasilis, Yiannis Ragousis, Evangelos Apostolakis and Efi Ahtsioglou were among others in Koumoundourou yesterday to make a first appearance evaluation of the result. It is certain that the results will be analyzed county by county, as traditional “castles” of SYRIZA were lost. All of Crete turned blue for the first time post-politically, while Western Athens, Western Attica, second Piraeus and Achaia passed into the hands of New Democracy.

Narratives such as the government of the defeated, of tolerance, of a special purpose seem to have disturbed the electorate who considered that SYRIZA is not the reliable force that will implement the program it has drawn up. Executives estimated that in the last days the “false” of Giorgos Katrougalos, as well as the “turning a blind eye” to Golden Dawn, clouded the message even more. “Reflection for the next day” was the statement of Euclid Tsakalotos to the journalists as he left Koumoundourou.

It is clear that in the discussions that took place last night in SYRIZA, there was no issue of questioning Alexis Tsipras. The party will be led to the elections by its current president. Certainly, the result of the next election will be the catalyst for developments that no one can predict.
