With a plenary meeting to discuss the implications of examination committee parliament for follow up the political cycle that began on July 26, when the PASOK president ends Nikos Androulakis reported an attempt to eavesdrop on his mobile phone using Predator Software. In addition to the conclusions drawn from the work of the Inquiry, political parties are “benefiting” from the profits they have made or the losses they have suffered from this case, which was thought at the outset to have had a catalytic effect on the political scene.

Early election

The dominant issue in the political news at the time of Androulakis’s complaint was the seemingly strong possibility of an early appeal to the polls, which, although never openly acknowledged by the government, appears to have had many supporters in the ND. The wiretapping case has dramatically changed the political agenda, especially since the August 5 resignation of the director of the Prime Minister’s Office, Grigoris Dimitriadis.

The surveillance case has shaped a new political landscape, with likely catalytic effects and the setting for hypothetical scenarios of upheaval in the political scene. The uncertainty of the next day affected the modification of the strategy of the parties. On the part of the government, any talk of a possible early election was immediately dropped. The scenario of early elections remained on the table only in the event of an avalanche of revelations about surveillance, in the face of which the authorities could not remain in place, losing the advantage of movements.

Possible mergers

Opposition parties saw a good opportunity to use tough opposition tactics, as well as a window to change the landscape of possible mergers. On the part of SYRIZA, which for three years failed to capitalize – at least in terms of polls – from any government corruption, highlighting the issue of rights and defending democratic values ​​and achievements was considered a privileged area to achieve a decisive blow to the enduring dominance of the North. Dakota. At the same time, Komunduru tried to bring PASOK closer together in a united front that could be a harbinger of future post-election cooperation.

Gains and Losses of Parties – New Har Program. Trikoupi focuses on the problems of the difficult everyday life of the townspeople.

Projection

On the part of Harilaou Trikoupis, as the initial profit from the exposure of Nikos Androulakis’ phone surveillance, they gained increased media exposure for the party. PASOK was gaining strength everywhere. In the face of pressure from SYRIZA for cooperation and a united front towards the government, he appeared particularly cautious and negative. Harilaou Trikoupi’s goal was clear: any deterioration in the position of the government and any gain for the opposition should go to PASOK. With a high tone, he turned to the issue of telephone monitoring and the KKE, which hastened to withdraw its own complaints about the monitoring of the Perissos call center and took the opportunity to highlight the issue again.

Priorities

The report on the elections and manipulations made shows, based on public opinion polls, that the government has not experienced the wear and tear that many expect. Poll data shows that while citizens consider the problem of surveillance to be a serious one, there are other issues that they prioritize. Accuracy and inflation, energy, housing, nationality are consistently at the top of the charts. And the intention of voting, apparently, is formulated taking into account the solution of these problems as a criterion.

SYRIZA did not receive the expected profit. Komunduru insists that the issue of surveillance will not be abandoned, their findings will be sent to the prosecutor’s office with the prospect of forming a commission of preliminary investigation, if evidence is obtained during the prosecutor’s investigation.

PASOK acknowledges that the lack of fueling the case with new data and revelations leads to inflating the issue, although they do not exclude the emergence of new data arising from the ongoing investigation of the European Parliament committee. However, at the level of political exploitation, the problem seems to have closed. Thus, Harilau Trikoupi opens a new program for fans, focused on the problems of the difficult everyday life of the townspeople.

“Hot” October in Parliament

With today’s final meeting of the Investigative Committee, the soon-to-be convened Plenary to discuss the Opposition’s conclusion and concomitant closing position, and a new extraordinary meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency, this stage has ended – and unexpectedly – the cycle of parliamentary hearings into the wiretapping case. This will follow, as highlighted by the government, a legislative initiative aimed at protecting transparency, mainly by strengthening EEM and ADAE. Given these facts, and based on what has happened primarily in Parliament on relevant issues so far, this month, during which the above-mentioned meetings are expected, it is expected that the conflict climate between the government and the opposition will reach a new peak. We recall that a new special meeting of the Committee on Institutions was demanded by SYRIZA, PASOK and KKE in connection with the complaints of Mr. Chr. Spircis for “hijacking” his own phone, as well as for the uninvestigated case of surveillance of the telephone exchange of Perissos.
