The result of the voting process for the emergence President of the Republic It is known before the ballots are even opened today. It is discounted to require four votes to be elected Konstantinos Tasoulaswhich does not show that it can garner the 200 votes required by the first and second voting, nor the 180s Tuesday. More than 151, however, needed to elect the fourth vote, have the ruling party, which currently has 156 MPs.

Anxiety for the result does not exist as There are no differences from the “line” that each party has given. Any surprise that could accompany the presidential election was exhausted in the announcement of his choice Kyriakou Mitsotakis on January 15th. The interest of the process that begins today is the political messages and the symbols that accompany the change of tenant at the Presidential Palace.

Her progressive choice Katerina Sakellaropoulou Five years ago, a clear centered orientation message of Kyriakou Mitsotakisgives way to a narrowly distinctive choice, which marks the right turn to satisfy concerned MPs and to reinforce the paranoxical mindset, which as it favors voter displacements to the smaller parties on the right.

The presidential election takes place in a conflicting climate, which can favor the consolidation and stimulation of the fanatical opinion, but it overturns a tradition of years who wanted a consensual election, on the basis of selection from the ruling majority of candidate with references to the opponent. PASOK showed its moods with the complaint of Mr Tasoula’s rush and old -fashioned practices on the last day of his term as Speaker of the House. Another indication of the new morals that accompany the presidential election, as the President of the Republic is usually out of party controversy.

The conflict It aggravates PASOK and SYRIZA to indicate separate nominations, Taso Giannitsi and Lucas Katseli respectively. PASOK in every way wants to avoid anything that can be perceived as a sympathy move with SYRIZA. Koumoundourou, having secured the support of the new Left in Lucas Katseliit celebrates because at the level of impressions its own initiative appears to be greater political acceptance. And no matter how the new Left is talking about individual co -operation, this does not prevent scenarios for broader cooperation and, why not, even for developments that could bring SYRIZA again in a position of opposition.

In the process there is a fourth candidate, the Kostas Sundayproposed by NIKI.

If something protects the current procedure from a possible extreme toxic confrontation, it is the fact that the House of Representatives are not provided by the House of Representatives before the vote. And if there is some interest in a process with a predetermined result, this focuses on how independent MPs will vote, as their decision could be a sign of writing for their future political moves.

The confrontation we will avoid today was in Parliament by K. Mitsotakis and Androulakis. The PASOK president spoke of an incarnate choice in the face of K. Tasulawho overturned a 30 -year political tradition. “It is your choice to lack stability. But you say and do you do. From this step here, during the Constitutional Review, you were committed that the spirit of the Constitution would remain. “he said.

The prime minister responded to PASOK President by saying that it is “your right not to vote for Mr. Tasula. It is also entitled to our own line to propose persons consensually. Mr. Tasula You voted for him for the Speaker of the House three times. I understand why one can vote for a chairman of the House consensually. I have voted for Mrs Constantopoulou once and I would never do it again. ” And continued in equally high tones: ‘support in Tasso Giannitsi It would be good to have given her 25 years ago and not now. I don’t remember what PASOK youth was saying then Giannitsi. And one last one. You told us that we are tool the institution of the President of the Republic. Where did my memory come back? My memory returned to 2009, when George Papandreou said that I was not voting for the president and going to the elections. Then he came and voted for Karolos Papoulias. A little attention and self -knowledge does not hurt. Greece needs a serious opposition in 2025. “
