“We are waiting for him with open arms.” This is the reaction of the executives of Maximus in the mobility that the developed by Alexis Tsipras And he is interpreted as a “warming up” for his return to a more central role in the political scene, probably by creating a new party. And the reaction is not hypocritical. As paradoxical as it may sound, the government has enough reasons to want Mr Tsipras’ re -emergence to continue and the former prime minister move forward in the next step. The Maximus Palace seems to look forward to such a development to awaken the reflexes of an electorate, which seems to be in a phase of ever -increasing apathy and is very difficult to move from the movements made on the central political scene.

“In politics there must be an opponent and citizens can make comparisons,” explains his associate Kyriakou Mitsotakis. The finding of one of the opposition parties to emerge as a dominant pole against the government has long started operating negatively for ND. The significant distance it maintains from the second PASOK removes from the electoral audience the element of a potential threat. Thus, the government finds that citizens are ease in ease they appear to move to the so -called “gray zone”, leaving ND.

The ruling party, instead of taking advantage of the opposition’s poor performance, appears to be sinking into the backdrop of a general indifference that seems to cause the absence of a “derby” in the central political scene in the electorate.

Can Alexis Tsipras fill this gap? It will be shown if and when he moves on to the next step, from the response to his movement. But in Maximus’ staff they invest in the fact that Alexis Tsipras can build a confrontation with very clear dividers that do not exist against PASOK and the Nikos Androulakis.

It is, after all, a revival of a polarized controversy, which they know well, as Kyriakos Mitsotakis found himself opposed to Alexis Tsipras in the 2019 and 2023 election.

It seems that there is a well -established belief in a part of the government leadership staff and in the party environment of the ND. That the reflexes of the party audience, which seem to have been mitigated, will be sharpened again in the reminder of Tsipras’ actions. There is also the expectation that the former prime minister has not yet been forgotten by the middle space hearing, who turned his back on his choices and sought a way out in ND. By Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Already, the government’s communications staff are “dusting” their arguments to Alexis Tsipras. The choices made in the economy, the policy on migration, the novartis sketchychanges to the Criminal Code, the case of television licenses, etc.

At the heart of the strategy that the government and the ND They are already shaping, as they not only discount, but also show that Alexis Tsipras’ reinstatement to a more central role is the view that citizens now “do not vote for parties, voting for faces”. And they think that they have a lot to say about this person.
