The political season officially begins on Monday with the opening of Parliament. Either towards the end of the week or at the beginning of the next, it is expected that the holding of the pre-day debate will be set. The summer raston is a thing of the past for the political forces that have set it as the next and important stations Thessaloniki International Exhibition and of course them municipal – regional elections.

In the government they are preparing for the “team fire” that will be received in the Plenary from all the opposition parties for the deadly fires that hit the country in the summer. It is certain that the “fan” of criticism will also open in relation to the accuracy in the market, but in particular for the unjust death of Michalis Katsouris and the fan violence that the Greek police could not prevent. The government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, during yesterday’s briefing rejected the scenarios that want changes in the leadership of the Ministry of Civil Protection.

The polls of OTA will take on a highly political character with the government keen to confirm that it remains strong with the 40.5% it received in the last election and opposition forces showing that they are recovering, albeit fragmented. Especially the battle for the 13 regions, as well as the large municipalities, is expected to be particularly tough. To a certain extent, the majority shows in these first days of its second term that it has “invested” in the lack of loud interventions by the opposition and its weakened presence. To a large extent this concerns the official opposition and results from the lack of leadership in SYRIZA and the very bad election results of the summer.

The competition between Koumoundourou and Harilaou Trikoupi is expected to unfold throughout the coming period in the Parliament. It is certain that PASOK will try to show that it is the strongest force in the Parliament. It has the right to attempt it after all, as in the period 2019-2023 SYRIZA had 64 more MPs in the Parliament and now only 15. They will try very quickly to proceed with an impressive move even with the submission of a proposal for a commission of inquiry obtained from the 2 /5 of the Parliament? And therefore reverse the climate? Arithmetic shows that even such a thing is not easy as SYRIZA, PASOK, KKE and Pleussi Eleftherias together they bring together 108 MPs. In other words, the assistance of the other parties is also required to complete the 120 votes.

As a response to the opposition’s plans, what they want to quickly achieve in the Maximos Palace is to settle the “intense dust” raised by this year’s fires by preparing and announcing changes to the action plans of the Civil Protection in the new fire season. Herodos Attikou considers the presence of the Prime Minister at the TIF and the package of announcements – benefits that he will have with him extremely important.
