Kyriakos Mitsotakis succeeds in SKAI against Stefanos Kasselakis on the subject of his companies and the clarifications he has not given, while Nikos Androulakis does not come out of the Prime Minister’s criticism either regarding PASOK’s attitude towards non-state universities. The president of SYRIZA replies that he has left the lobster boats since last year in March with the head of Harilaou Trikoupi accusing the prime minister of a cover-up in the Tembe accident. Yesterday ended with Stefanos Kasselakis “photographing” PASOK as a supposedly progressive force and the political scene ahead of the European elections catching fire.

The episodes that will be written in the next period will be many in between Piraeus, Koumoundourou and Charilaou Trikoupi. The goals are different, but everything shows that the climate will be polarized as if there were national polls 89 days from today. This may cause increased turnout, as party concentrations may rise significantly. On the issue of Mr. Kasselakis’s companies, the justice system has not ruled, however secure information speaks of fairly immediate developments. Koumoundourou does not say anything more, but the confidence with which executives who are well aware of the developments in the party are appointed shows that it is very likely that Stefanos Kasselakis has already moved on or has started to make moves in relation to the shares he owns in foreign companies. On the side of the majority, there are executives who believe that this particular case may have “tails”, stressing that Stefanos Kasselakis could immediately submit his case.

The worst fear at the moment for New Democracy is complacent because of the low percentages shown by the opposition. SYRIZA shows a small upward trend that in some opinion polls brings it back to second place with PASOK appearing to be “sailing” and finding its footing after the bills for same-sex couples and non-state universities. A barometer for SYRIZA will be the percentage obtained by the New Left, which has been showing upward trends lately, and for PASOK the “Democrats” of Andreas Loverdos.

The danger for the top three forces to “burn in the warm-up” is obvious. They have expended a lot of energy this past summer and without taking a break they immediately entered a protracted election period ahead of June 9 with a lot at stake. The most basic is the primacy in the area of ​​the center held by New Democracy until now. The lists of ballot papers drawn up by the parties by mid-April will be a key factor in whether or not they attract voters.
