Three congresses, three parties and three leaders are dueling against the background of the simple analog that is coming.
ND, SYRIZA and KINAL are preparing feverishly for their top internal procedures that will bring them to the final stretch of the elections.
Three and the basic issues beyond the mobilization of the party mechanisms: The gathering, the capture of voters from neighboring areas and the attraction of the undecided.
The political game is already on fire. ΝΔ and SYRIZA leaning towards ΚΙΝΑΛas the inability to form a government from the first Sunday activates the reflexes of the claimants to power for the next day.
New Democracy
The emergence of the new Political Committee will be the icing on the cake of the congressional proceedings of the blue faction. After the window that opened on possible collaborations, the Kyriakos Mitsotakis wishes from 6-8 May to emerge the absolute ruler of the political scene and especially of the central space.
At the same time to send the message that autonomy is a highly realistic goal in the second ballot box. In view of the conference, the Prime Minister opened the door to alliances and changed the course of events.
He is now putting a lot of pressure on Nikos Androulakis to “choose a camp” while activating the front inside Charilaou Trikoupi that looks to the right.
The 2,000 delegates will approve the government roadmap for the one year remaining until the election. At the same time, it is an opportunity for the ruling majority to prove that it is a solid and united force in contrast to the internal party problems faced by its opponents. Maximou continues to rule out the use of early ballots, estimating that the small polling damage presented by the party is temporary, cyclical due to international developments, but also normal after three years in power.
It is no coincidence that the first pre-conference of N.D. took place in one of the strongholds of the party. In Thessaloniki. The Prime Minister will also attend the pre-conference that will take place in Heraklion on April 16, which for SYRIZA is a “castle” and KINAL shows an increased dynamic due to Nikos Androulakis.
SYRIZA
The election of 5,000 delegates brought smiles and relief to the highest echelons of Koumoundourou, as the first data show that the “presidential” side maintained and expanded its majority in the party. The members are estimated to be over 61,000 and a total of 40,500 voted from 1-3 April.
The Congress will take place next week (April 14-17) and the official opposition is now waiting for Alexis Tsipras’ proposal for the election of the president and the new Central Committee by the members to be widely accepted.
The battle for the physiognomy of the party between the two main tendencies “Presidential” and “Umbrella” is expected to be fierce. The former are in favor of enlargement from the left to the progressive center, the latter want the preservation of the left radical elements.
The subgroups of the majority tendencies (“Movement of Members”, “RENE”, “DIMAR”, “BRIDGE”, “PASOKogenes”) rallied against the left wing.
On the other hand, the “53+” of Euclid Tsakalotos allied with Nikos Voutsis, Nikos Filis, Panos Skourletis, Dimitris Papadimoulis, Dimitris Vitsas and others. pulling Alexis Tsipras by the “left sleeve” all lately.
The transformation of SYRIZA has been postponed for two years due to the pandemic and the opening to the center has not yet taken place.
His goal Alexis Tsipras The formation of a progressive government from the first ballots remains, constantly turning a blind eye to KINAL.
Nikos Androulakis ruled out post-election coexistence with the current government, a fact that made Koumoundourou very happy. The leader of Charilaou Trikoupi, however, has closed the door to SYRIZA as well, with the leader of the official opposition constantly challenging him. From Heraklion, where he toured, he stressed by photographing Mr. Androulakis: “if you do not ask for elections, then you want the Mitsotakis government to remain in power and to continue the social looting”.
The program of the party is ready and is constantly updated by the heads of the departments with the asterisk now of the “emergency plan” for the way out of the crisis that is constantly proposed by the former prime minister.
ΚΙΝΑΛ
The name changes. The “PASOK” return is a fact, it was, after all, one of the commitments of Nikos Androulakis. The party congress (May 20-22) will be preceded on the 8th of the same month by the internal referendum for the change of name. The process will be parallel to the election of delegates and prefectural committees. “PASOK – Democratic Party” or “PASOK – Movement for Change”? The only sure thing is the return of the historic “PASOK” to the front of Charilaou Trikoupi, which refers to the six great electoral victories and the roots of the founding declaration of 1974.
THE Nikos Androulakis remains a supporter of a government with a social democratic direction and with this roadmap will move towards the congress. Political autonomy is the message given to ND and SYRIZA who treat KINAL as a “multifaceted bride”. In the pre-conference stage, the elaboration and configuration of the program framework under which Char. Trikoupi will enter the upcoming elections with emphasis on economy, health, development, work, education, etc.
As far as the battle of numbers is concerned, as many as 270 thousand citizens who took part in the elections for the election of the new president will seek to participate. In KINAL they live a “populist spring” which they want to maintain by proving that the increased percentages are not the “honeymoon” of the new president, but the repatriation of the people to the democratic party.
