The last episode of Stefanos Kasselakis with Pavlos Polakis, despite the fact that it was denied many times both by the Chanio MP himself and by Koumoundourou, it shows the rotation in which the party is located. Introversion did not stop after the two splits, as the majority expected.

The meetings of the instruments cannot be characterized as unambiguous. It is not uncommon for them to exist disagreements within SYRIZA. There were also stormy meetings during the presidency of Alexis Tsipras. From the “Left Platform” of Panagiotis Lafazanis to the “53+” and later the “Umbrella” of Euclid Tsakalotou, Nikos Filis and Panos Skourletis. In today’s SYRIZA, however, there is one irritation which can only be explained in one way.

“Poverty brings grumbling” the people say and for the “murmuring” that does not stop in SYRIZA the answers are hidden in the numbers. The party from the big fall in June and the 17.8% it recorded in the last polls is now moving in its zone 12%-13%. At a time when the government has so many open fronts (same-sex couples, farmers, universities, market accuracy) the official opposition can reap nothing. And it is not the first four years of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, but the second where any deterioration could be described as normal. New Democracy seems to be losing at the moment around four points in relation to the national elections with SYRIZA to win nothing. His new face has not convinced, but neither has the program he presents. It has lost second place to PASOK, which also does not seem to have any momentum.

In this climate from the past week, the conclusion that is drawn is that Stefanos Kasselakis no longer has the two on his side “generals” that led him to victory in the internal party elections. The chair of the parliamentary group was visited by rupture with Paul Polakiwhich many seem to be definitive.

At the same time, an interview with Nikos Papa on NAFTEMPORIKI TV came to ring another “bell” for the new president. The former Minister of Digital Policy made it clear that everyone is judged in the European elections, contrary to the statements of Stefanos Kasselakis who seems determined to proceed to the national polls regardless of the result in June.

SYRIZA needs a shift to a programmatic discourse and a coherent and informed opposition agenda.

This is what Stefanos Kasselakis will try to do from now on twenty days before the Congress. With the campaigns preparing for the accuracy and the housing crisis it is clear that the economy will be the absolute priority. Today in Thessaloniki he visits Agrotica and in the afternoon Kastoria.

THE rural world he seems to be not at all pleased with the measures that Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced yesterday in the Parliament and they wish to take advantage of this in the official opposition.

On Sunday, the first regional Congress of SYRIZA will be held in Kozaniwhile the next one on the 10th of the month will be held in Larissa.
