From the middle of next week, the countdown to the European elections begins. Political leaders will now have just 30 days to achieve maximum mobilization. For her New Democracy Kyriakos Mitsotakis took the first important step in restoring relations with the church with his joint presence in Delesi with the Archbishop. The ruling faction still dominates the space of the center and the problem it faces comes from its right. The rift that has been caused after the passing of the law on same-sex couples does not want Piraeus to cost them the loss of the main goal, which is the percentage of Eurocalp of 2019. This is the standard set by Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the interview he gave to the main SKAI news bulletin. At Maximos they believe that the battle of everyday life can be won and they constantly point out the actions that have been taken to deal with the accuracy in the market. They remind that, with institutional initiatives, dykes have been erected against price increases, with extraordinary measures, but above all with permanent increases in wages, pensions, benefits, such as the maternity benefit, which was extended for nine months to freelancers and female farmers. For New Democracy, the European elections can only be compared to the European elections. The nature of the vote, as they argue, does not allow for other parallels to be drawn despite the fact that the prime minister himself has upgraded the specific polls and linked them to the political stability of the next three years.

For SYRIZA, things are completely different. The comparison, according to Koumoundourou officials, can only be made based on the last polls and not with what happened five years ago. In 2019, the 23.75% achieved by SYRIZA it had been considered a very bad result for him Alexis Tsipras. A month later, however, SYRIZA recovered to reach 32%. Reports of a “victory” in the June 9 polls have been diluted by Stefanos Kasselakis. It is a fact that even the official opposition, any percentage above 17.8% of the summer will be liberating. He has gone through “a thousand waves” since he took over the “reins” of Koumoundourou and after two splits, surpassing last June’s number will surely make him a “master of the game”. The great anxiety expressed by party officials is whether its supporters, who have no “bond” with SYRIZA, will definitely be at the polls. The summer and youth of the majority of the party’s followers are no guarantee. This is the big bet they want to win by forming a new base.

In the PASOK recently, with the loss of second place in the polls, skepticism prevails. At Charilaou Trikoupi they had an opportunity to “build” a security difference from SYRIZA and they didn’t take advantage of it. This does not mean that for the next period Nikos Androulakis will not act with a second party strategy. He constantly argues that PASOK is the only force that can mount a substantial opposition to the New Democracy and its arrogant behavior. They argue that Stefanos Kasselakis with his attitude constantly “premiums” the New Democracy and cannot express the progressive world of the country. It is certain that the “thermometer” between the two will rise sharply in the next period. The “minus” for both SYRIZA and PASOK is that according to polls, the two parties have not shown any potential to overturn the current correlations.

Battle for fourth place possibly to give it KKE and the Greek solution. In Perissos they appear reinforced, however the power that has been acquired by Kyriakos Velopoulos in Northern Greece, according to polls, he is close to a double-digit percentage. Zoi Konstantopoulou appears particularly strengthened due to the dynamic appearances she has made in the Parliament. An extroverted campaign has been adopted by the New Left with a new central pre-election slogan: “give voice to your right”. The next stop for Alexis Haritsis and the executives will be island Greece. They will henceforth focus on accuracy, income redistribution and justice with a Tempe edge.
