THE SYRIZA he is determined to follow a policy of openings in the next period. This includes the New Left and the tone has been set several times by Socrates Famous with his interventions. Already a first opportunity for the coexistence of former partners is considered his proposal Alexis Haritsi for him Christos Rammos as a candidate for president of the Republic from the progressive forces of the Parliament. The new press representative of Koumoundourou, George Karamerosspeaking to MEGA, said “photographing” the New Left: “there is the possibility of changing the political associations in the next period in order to have a strong parliamentary group of the modern Left that will not only have the position of the official opposition in society, but also in the Parliament”.

There is no chance – if the developments are not “cosmogenic” – in the current parliamentary term that the MPs of the New Left will return to SYRIZA so that it can return numerically to the position of official opposition. As “Kathimerini tis Kyriaki” published, the only thing they are discussing in Patisia in relation to Koumoundourou is that in the event that social and political conditions require it, the conclusion of a programmatic agreement that could be “sealed” either by the creation of a common committee or a declaration.

THE Euclid Tsakalotos speaking shortly before midnight in Attica, he appeared quite skeptical, stressing that on issues such as taxation, but also on budget equipment – which the New Left will not vote for – there should be a convocation. He did, however, make a statement that will be debated: “The situation in SYRIZA is problematic because it was also problematic how they expelled Mr. Kasselakis. What happened was not democratic, it was a faction that said that no matter what happens, this man will not be a candidate. You know, I am not a supporter of Mr. Kasselakis, but on the other hand, the way he was not allowed to be a candidate is not a model of democratic procedures.”

THE Nikos Voutsis at KONTRA, he spoke about more general collaborations, stressing that on a bilateral level, the common path with SYRIZA is irreconcilably difficult, pointing out that the reconstruction of the Left is a multilateral issue. Fill in how “in two years, if there are programmatic calls on critical issues, for example on the issue of equipment costs which are among the most difficult – and this will be decided on Sunday night – on major economic issues, institutional issues, etc. not only do we not rule out, we work for to exist through the distinct position of the New Left and the other forces – we do not raise issues of mergers – to have programmatic calls for the formulation of an alternative proposal”.

Epimythio: for the policy of partnerships in general, there is still a long way to go. And everything will be judged by the programs and agreements that may exist, but also by the polling data that the parties will show almost a year before the elections.
