According to many, telefighting in PASOK it opened an important path for what the corresponding processes could take in national or municipal elections. Mainly for the part of the free questions and the opportunity the candidates had to have a dialogue without strict rules with each other. It was the liveliest political debate to date before an election. And the Harilaou Trikoupi showed that he knows how to lead the way. Can the parties simply agree to such a thing so that the speech of the leaders is not sterile? History has proven not. Most of the time they are not even able to decide if it will happen debatelet alone change the terms of the game. It is easy for the one who precedes to “inflame” the process through the exhausting meetings held by the representatives of the parliamentary forces. For the possibility of applying live fact checking as in the Harris-Trump debate, another conversation opens that is probably quite distant.

Everyone in a teleconference on the eve of the election fears the mistake, the blunder or the awkward moment that will be difficult to avoid. One cannot say that the associations changed dramatically after the “green duel” on public television. The biggest gain for the “six” would be to mobilize more people to go to the polls on October 6. And they probably succeeded. As well as the commitment that a new telefight will take place in the next round between the first two. Social media, however, showed the required enthusiasm and the debate became the first hashtag in X. Perhaps if the time of the debate had been slightly reduced, at least by an hour, things would have been much better.

THE Nikos Androulakis received many attacks and harsh criticism for the functioning of the party, Anna Diamantopoulou was squeezed in relation to her absence from PASOK, while Haris Doukas received many questions about the dual role he wants to play (president – mayor) at a time when he has no he is still “warming up” his chair in the municipality of Athens. Pavlos Geroulanos opposed the former Commissioner, while Michalis Katrinis and Nadia Giannakopoulou chose to raise their voices in some cases.

Some seem to be jealous anyway. Christos Giannoulis, speaking to SKAI, asked for a debate between the SYRIZA candidates as well. So does Elena Akrita. With the data and information available so far, Stefanos Kasselakis, Sokratis Famellos, and Pavlos Polakis would participate in this.
