In the change of correlations that has been recorded for some time in the opinion polls, and is already finding its mark inside the Parliament with what is happening in SYRIZA, which seems to be passing the “baton” of the main opposition to PASOK, the government is turning its attention, focusing in addition to PASOK and the parties “to the right” of it. The rise that Greek Solution and Voice of Reason continue to register in the latest measurements, as well as the stable presence of Victory in the percentages that allow it to enter the Parliament, are placed in the “scales” of Megaros Maximoslooking for dykes.

In the Opinion Poll poll, the party of Kyriakos Velopoulos, “Hellenic Solution”, takes third place, displacing KKE in fourth and SYRIZA in fifth, while the rise of Aphrodite Latinopoulos’s party, “Voice of Reason” is also noteworthy. , which reaches 5.8%, leaving behind him, at the limit for entering the Parliament, the “Victory” of Dimitris Natsios with a percentage of 3.00%.

This polling image may not sound a red alarm on the government side, but it is not underestimated in the meetings, which examine the need or not, to review the strategy against the most right-wing parties. SW.

The first reaction of the government officials is to refer to the government’s ongoing and continuous policy to improve the daily life and income of the citizens, without, however, not focusing on the arrhythmias recorded from time to time which should be eliminated.

After all, Megaros Maximos separates the parties to the right of the ND from the voters who declare that they intend to support them in the next elections. It is appreciated, as he has repeatedly emphasized prime ministerthat there is a three-year period ahead, until the next elections are held, in 2027, so that the citizens can then judge from the result of the government’s policy, its projects and actions.

The issue of easing and improving everyday life is a non-negotiable priority of the government, it is announced at every opportunity, investing especially in the implementation of all the necessary reforms, which have been announced and planned for the second government term of the ND, with a social sign. A critical factor that will serve this purpose is growth, which is already showing encouraging signs. “We have a stable government that is able to implement reforms. We continue to attract investment. We had a record year in tourism. We make significant investments in cutting-edge areas, including technology. I believe we have a very good growth story, which certainly attracts the interest of the international financial community. I expect that Greek development will continue to produce results” said the prime minister, in the interview he granted to Bloomberg.

But because, at Megaron Maximos, they realize that all this may sound very distant to those who struggle with everyday life and its needs, which they find difficult to cover, they are constantly alert for any issues that arise. The immediate reaction of the Minister of Energy and Environment, Thodoris Skylakakis, to the new pressures exerted by the increase in the wholesale price of electricity is part of this preparedness framework. “There is no way we can let these prices, which do not reflect real costs, be passed on to the consumer,” he said, leaving open the possibility of new intervention if necessary. How this will be done will be seen after the meeting with the European Commission. “I prefer it to be a permanent solution for extraordinary circumstances but I do not exclude it to be an extraordinary solution for permanent circumstances,” said Mr. Skylakakis.
