It was not an easy week for the three “big men” of the political system.

The “shocks” after the European elections are enough and New Democracy and PASOK may not have the “storms” of SYRIZA, but there are enough obstacles to overcome.

Eleven MPs of the blue faction “rang a bell” to the Minister of Finance Kostis Hatzidakis and by extension to the government.

Bad loans are a hot topic and after the result of the European elections executives basically come and tell the prime minister what was to blame for the bad result.

Whether it is the beginning of a cycle of criticism towards the government’s choices will be seen in the next period, as they have also announced new initiatives. What is interesting is if other MPs are added to the 11.

Maximos showed to react coolly to this move and it is normal that ferments and discussions will follow in the next period.

For SYRIZA, which is going through the worst period in its history, the facts speak for themselves. Divided into three camps, Stefanos Kasselakis, Pavlos Polakis and the “87” walk on a “tight rope”.

The former president of SYRIZA is likely to announce his candidacy at the beginning of the week, while information indicates that Sokratis Famellos is getting closer and closer to taking the next step.

If he decides, the “87” are expected by a majority to approve their descent to the polls.

The climate in Koumoundourou remains toxic and today, when the Central Committee meets, it will be interesting if an attempt is made to lower the tone.

Especially for the conditions that a presidential candidate must have.

The new majority did not re-raise the issue of where and the debts to the public in the Political Secretariat. The vote that will take place on the date of the elections will be of interest with Stefanos Kasselakis and Pavlos Polakis joining in the common goal of speeding up the procedures.

The MP from Chania is expected to insist on his proposal to set elections for November 3 and 10. The deadline for filing nominations is September 29, as well as convening an extraordinary conference for Saturday October 5, with the newly elected members.

The new majority will remain on schedule for a congress from November 1-3 and a first round of elections on the 24th of the same month.

For PASOK, the tone is rising with the six candidates rehearsing for Tuesday’s debate.

Much will be judged by the answers they will give and the readiness they will show. The measurements that will take place after the telefight will be the most critical. According to the polls, the party appears to be on the rise, it seems to be consolidating second place and this currently gives “points” to Nikos Androulakis. A difficult week is gone, a more critical one is coming.
