What does the prime minister seek by putting PASOK in the frame for constitutional review and pressing for a “yes” or “no” in the proposal to lift permanence

His papers in the run -up to the Constitutional Review was opened yesterday by the prime minister, quoting articles in which the government majority will propose changes or at least one in principle list, as government sources report that the list is expected to expand until the end of the year. From yesterday’s interview by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, SKAI has made it clear that the government is investing in appearing as the political force moving with a clear reform sign. It was also clear that PASOK’s “radar” is on the “radar” of Maximus, which the prime minister put on the discussion he opened on the changes to the Constitution.
All previous weeks the opposition party is at the center of a fierce criticism, which is mainly manifested by the government spokesman, Paul Marinakifor identifying with protest and reaction parties. With careful reference, of course, to “PASOK by Nikos Androulakis”as opposed to the old, good and responsible PASOK, who worked with ND. during the Memorandum period. Of course, Nikos Androulakis’ PASOK supported government initiatives such as the marriage of homosexual couples.
THE Kyriakos MitsotakisSpeaking of the constitutional review, he turned his arrows to PASOK. “The process of constitutional review itself will be a test first for PASOK. So far, Mr. Androulakis’ PASOK – and I emphasize this – has shown that it is probably “dying” in other directions, “the prime minister said. On the one hand, it seeks to display the government willing to “break eggs” and, at the same time, to trap the opposition party in a counterproductive confrontation on the basis “yes or no”. “PASOK will be tested in the constitutional review. Myself; I have told you: Review 16,24, 86, 103. I put another article and more will come. How is PASOK placed on it? Ask Mr. Androulakis: Yes or no? Must or should not change these articles. ”
The government majority will seek to squeeze PASOK with such dilemma questions before the debate is well opened and without knowing the content of the changes proposed. For, for the time being, we know the articles that the government puts on the table – the 16 that concerns the public character of education and linked to the functioning of non -state universities, 24 which concerns environmental protection and linked to the spatial, 86 which concerns the responsibility of government officials and 103, who got into the discussion now and concerns the permanence in the public. Mr Mitsotakis asked PASOK yesterday to respond to the revision of these articles, but the government has not yet announced the changes it proposes.
Indeed, the prime minister hastened to repel the opposition party’s position in advance that he would not give it. ‘White check’ In the next House for the revision of any article, giving 180 votes now, which will enable them to be reviewed by the next House with 150 votes. “I hope and hope that PASOK does not come to this discussion with one logic ‘I do not vote nothing, no article, because I just do not want to enable the next House to form a simple majority of their content’,” “ said Mr. Mitsotakis.
Government’s insistence on answering PASOK with ‘Yes or No’ It is linked to the pursuit of reinforcing ND. Its influence on the central political audience, towards which PASOK only considers an opponent. These are voters who are positively placed in the prospect of promoting reforms and treatment of chronic pathogens. In this audience the government majority wants to weaken PASOK’s appeal and one way is to present “The PASOK of Nikos Androulakis” as a force inertia and reaction to changes and reforms.
