A “barometric low” prevails in the center-left a few days before the polls open for the European elections.

The “belligerence” between Stefanos Kasselakis and Nikos Androulakis intensifies as the days pass with the two leaders ruling out any room for cooperation.

Their daily statements are indicative of the great distance that exists, the “nails” follow one another ignoring and the fact that there are executives in both parties who are studying from now on the next day in the progressive space.

Metron Analysis’ new MEGA poll further blurs the landscape. PASOK seems to reduce the “scissors” from SYRIZA by 0.6% proving that the political scene is a “quicksand”. Two analyzes capture the scene:

– There does not seem to be a clear hegemony in the progressive space that gives a clear and large lead to one of the two parties.

– SYRIZA and PASOK are carrying out “low-flying” flights that may cause significant internal party turmoil for Stefanos Kasselakis and Nikos Androulakis.

Neither of them can claim, with percentages hovering in the 15% zone, that it can threaten the primacy of Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

So far, the poll data show that the leader of the official opposition and the president of PASOK cannot together overcome New Democracy in numbers.

Despite the accuracy in the market, the accident in Tempe and the developments that exist, the leak of emails in the Ministry of the Interior, and the issue of wiretapping did not cause “rifts” in the government capable of threatening it.

The internal party rivals of the two leaders of the opposition are at gunpoint to challenge them for the missed opportunities they had to significantly reduce the difference. In any case, the numbers of the European elections will be the catalyst of the developments.

All this is happening at a time when opinion polls are already dealing with the next day in the center-left and show that Alexis Tsipras has the most chances to unite the space against Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Stefanos Kasselakis did not seem to see such a prospect positively and when asked by ANT1 whether the former prime minister will claim the leadership of the united centre-left, he emphasized that “he himself has told me that this chapter for him is closed”. It is normal that once the numbers in the wider space are not “thriving” the debate about the progressive front flares up.

In “Kathimerini tis Kyriaki”, two SYRIZA officials who have been in the spotlight for the past few months due to the initiatives they took confirmed the mobility and concern that exists.

The first to support the “Doukas model”, having a leading role in the successful cooperation in the municipality of Athens, was Kostas Zachariadis, stating that “the model of progressive cooperation in the municipality of Athens with Haris Doukas is an important success for the entire progressive lineup.

The message must be decoded.”

Dionysis Teboneras, who had set up the event with Efi Ahtsioglou and Manolis Christodoulakis on February 13, reported on the same issue that “a democracy front of progressive forces can pave the way for wider consensus in the democratic space».
