The whole opposition is in battle position, as its own week begins at the TIF. The goal of the parties is twofold: the government should not reap great benefits from the prime minister’s announcements by promoting, as they argue, the real image of society and at the same time minority parties to increase their own strengths. Things in the opposition, especially in the center -left, are even more complicated by the scenario of creating a new party by Alexis Tsipras who is growing. Already yesterday, the former prime minister did not miss the opportunity to post on social media excerpt from his speech by the Economist in response to Kyriakos Mitsotakis, making it clear that his interventions would not stop. “That is, he will return a part of the monstrous primary surplus, which in the first seven months reached $ 8 billion while for 2024 it was 6.4 billion euros above the target. And the main source of this large and systematic transcendence are both indirect taxes and the income tax of natural persons – taxes that usually disproportionately impose vulnerable and medium income. The only goal now is the electoral clientele and the vote. However, I have the feeling that, this time, the goal will not be achieved, “he said.

Autumn seemed to be the focal point for capturing the forces of the smaller parties. But without the final decisions of the former SYRIZA president, every democratic image would be temporary. Minority parties, however, cannot wait and see that the only way is to look forward, leaving behind the rearrangements that will probably exist. They have already developed their programs and their criticism of the government so that they can enter the new political season from a position of power. Nikos Androulakis will be in the next weekend at the TIF as leader of the opposition for the first time. On 10-11, Socrates Famellos will visit his city, next Wednesday and Thursday Dimitris Koutsoubas and 11-12 of the month by Alexis Haritsis and Zoe Konstantopoulou.

The criticism of the opposition parties to Maximus in many places is common, arguing that another model of governance should be found. They do not think that something radically will change in the lives of families, employees, retirees and freelancers from the prime minister’s announcements. “No benefits are some money from the taxation that had preceded it,” they say. They saw all his presence as an attempt to “take over political time”.

They insist that the issue of reinstating the 13th salary to the State should be examined and the reduction of VAT. On the second issue, he was criticized by the Prime Minister from his response that he knows nothing about the relevant European directive. They insist that the government has not virtually announced to reduce accuracy. They talk about social inequalities that will cause horizontal tax reliefs announced in Velidio on Saturday night. They raise the tones by referring to the beautification of reality, and as Kyriakos Mitsotakis argues, he attempted to degrade OPEKEPE issue once again and in particular the institutional diversion to the House with absences and letters. The “thermometer” will rise between the government and the opposition and on national issues, and the “battle” of the House will now begin with the first station in the OPECEPE Inquiry Committee on September 15.

The presence of Nikos Androulakis at the TIF will be crucial, as in PASOK with the presentation of the “Black Bible” last week, the event on the anniversary of the founding Declaration in Zappeion for the demographic and government program presented by the President of the Velidio.
