With their “dowry” 270,000 citizens who voted in the internal party elections and the 180,000 thousand members who took part in the pre-congress processes comes the Nikos Androulakis at the Party Congress. Taking advantage of the party culture and tradition of PASOK, as well as the reflections of the voters on hearing the restoration of the historical name by Charilaou Trikoupi, they estimate that the comparison with the Sunday ballot box of SYRIZA will be inevitable. How much will they manage to increase the enrollment threshold of the new members in the official opposition? 60,600 are on the lists at the moment of which 41,000 participated in the nomination of delegates. In the last few hours, however, in Koumoundourou, several executives have appeared optimistic, talking about a six-digit number of SYRIZA voters who will re-elect Alexis Tsipras as party president.
Transfers, renewal and respect for the roots are the triptych proposed by Nikos Androulakis. The former MEP of SYRIZA, Costas Chrysogonis, was at the polls of Charilaou Trikoupi on May 8, as was the former MP of MERA25 Constantina Adamou. Nikos Androulakis met with her on Wednesday and in fact gave their hands for a common course after the elections. Since one in two who has been elected a delegate or will participate in the organizations from now on is under 40 years old, the “refreshment” in the party potential is considered to have been achieved. The bet to show how All PASOK-KINAL forces have joined forces to return the movement to power it is perhaps the most difficult. The information speaks of a meeting of the president with them Costas Simitis and George Papandreou, while yesterday he had telephone communication with Evangelos Venizelos and likely to meet next week. In an article in “NEA”, a few days ago, Mr. Simitis supported the effort to renew the program speech of the party, as well as Nikos Androulakis. Nikos Christodoulakis returned to Charilaou Trikoupi and the same may be hoped for other top executives who have chosen to stay out of politics for a long time.
They caused smiles on the party officials the good participation rates recorded in the pre-conference proceedings in Attica, where PASOK in 2019 did not reach 6% anywhere, while in the “castles”, such as Crete and Achaia, there is a tendency of aggregation. It is not, however, the street of Nikos Androulakis paved with rose petals. ND and SYRIZA will continue to push for a camp with the aim of “squeezing” him in opinion polls. And this is said to be the great fear of Charilaou Trikoupi. Do not end the “poll spring” that marked for the party the promotion of Nikos Androulakis as president. The measurements brought by PASOK-KINAL approaching SYRIZA and to be consolidated above the 15% zone have not been confirmed lately. A new impetus is expected to be given by the Conference which will be held from May 20-22, as well as the continuous renewal of the program on the way to the polls.
