In politics, bridges are as hard to build as they are to fall. The atmosphere at the meeting Stefanou Kasselakis with Nikos Androulakis it was very good on a monday afternoon. The parliamentary pace designed for the wiretapping and Tempe gave a first positive signal. Without many promises, as the different strategies do not allow for other associations. Everything fell apart after yesterday’s report by Stefanos Kasselakis about Kostas Simitis. Harilaou Trikoupis did not like the answer to the question why he was not at the event organized in his honor. “What business have I, children, with those who have wasted so many billions of the Greek people? Are we forgetting the entanglement of these years? It wasn’t just modernization.” From Koumoundourou they clarify that they had informed the organizers about the absence of the official opposition leader.

The balance between the two parties has always been delicate. The PASOK he always saw with “half an eye” the attempts of SYRIZA to reach out to him, since as a strong government party, from 2015 onwards, he wanted to have absolute hegemony in the center-left. He won from the constant “no” to Alexis Tsipras by “burning” the simple analog which anyway had not been supported in the summer of 2016 by the late Fofi Gennimata. Those times are gone. The two parties may still not be “even”, but the differences are now very small. A front against the government in targeted interventions, especially at the parliamentary level, is considered imperative based on the small parliamentary forces they have. How else will “cracks” be recorded in the mighty blue faction.

Is there an appreciation for the aggressive rhetoric used by Stefanos Kasselakis? Was it an unnecessary, spontaneous reference, or was it the product of fermentation on her seventh floor Koumoundourou; Surely his absence from the event cannot be accidental. It is not expected to affect the parliamentary goals that have been set, however questions are raised. Pavlos Polakis, who is one of the “strategists” of the new venture in the official opposition, often comes out heavily against PASOK and Nikos Androulakis. And yesterday, after the intervention of the president of SYRIZA, he did not miss the opportunity to agree with him: “Well done Stefan! Show me some other “known unknowns” somewhere who have made such a statement!!! Hyg. on the contrary, when some of us put Simitis in his place, they got quaternary fever…”.

The “war” that has broken out is expected to continue and it is indicative that yesterday the government also got involved through the Pavlos Marinakis condemning the statement of Stefanos Kasselakis. THE Anna Diamantopoulou, which through the “Network” organized the honorary event for Kostas Simitis, commented: If S. Kasselakis came to the event for Kostas Simitis, it would be a cultural upheaval, if he simply did not come, it was expected that he did not come and vulgarly cursed the PASOK government on Simitis creates disgust in the world of the center, since before he did the same to the world of the left. Coming soon: END TITLES’. From now on, for the two parties, the impending split of SYRIZA, the new polls, and also their parliamentary action will show the way for the relations they will build.
