Where will Kyriakos Mitsotakis be a candidate in the next elections? Two of the three prefectures where he is eligible for citizenship are likely to be in the region. Crete should be considered certain for symbolic reasons, and from there Evros or the Rhodopes would probably be the second choice. However, it is considered unlikely that the Prime Minister will take a seat in any of these constituencies. Therefore, the third option would also make him an MP. One case in Attica. However, where he decides to keep the seat, there will almost certainly be an imbalance with the existing MPs, which he does not want either. In this context, one of the scenarios is the ND president. be transferred to co-capital in the event that Kostas Karamanlis decides that he will no longer run. I have already written about what your former prime minister can do, and this is nothing new. However, if Karamanlis is not included in the ND ballots, then his vacancy can be filled by the prime minister, since, apart from symbolism, this will not create any local imbalance.

However, if the specific scenario is not activated and the Prime Minister chooses the pool, the possible constituency for politicizing and keeping the seat will be the 2nd Piraeus. I don’t need to analyze semiotics, as this is an area with strong folk characteristics, and as we approach elections, ND. he wants to strengthen his position in this audience.

In N.D. of course, if you notice, its leaders and the prime minister himself have completely removed PASOK from their rhetoric, which is neither positively nor negatively commented on. Obviously, this is also not an accidental, but a strategic decision, since for the authorities the party of Nikos Androulakis is not an “opponent”, but in fact a pool of voters who could give it independence. Apparently, such tactics will be followed until the elections. However, there is another advanced proposal that many are putting on the Prime Minister’s table: to draw bridges towards PASOK again, in case self-confidence is not achieved.

Former Minister of SYRIZA Yiannis Panousis appeared in the program of Apostolos Maggiriadis on the ERT channel after a long time. When asked about the possibility of his return to politics, he replied that “the door of politics has two handles, one inward and one outward. my door is closed. If someone wants to open outside, I’m here.” Apparently, he is waiting for Andrulakis to open the door.

I’m taking you further to the left. In SYRIZA, where the intra-party game holds up well, as presidential candidates with “53” constantly compete for leadership of the party. In this context, it is of great interest that while Tsipras himself was meeting with the bakers in Likovrisi, focusing on economic issues, Nikos Filis asked about the police station in Omonia. Detail: Christos Spircis is the responsible head of the Civil Protection, which did not prevent the experienced former minister from asking his question and setting the agenda.

Alexis Tsipras accepts many proposals for the use of teachers in the SYRIZA newsletter, as in the case of Faradouris, who will come to Kefalonia. But guess what: the proposals “stick” to the deep party that objects to “they’re about theory, not practice” and “we’re going to get in trouble.”

There is a large mobilization in SYRIZA for the planned nationwide strike on November 9th. In fact, a nationwide meeting of the coordinators of the SYRIZA member organizations is planned to mobilize members to participate in the strike, because in Kumunduru they believe that if the participation is massive, then the message will be sent to the government.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had nothing to do with the mess that happened with invitations and non-invitations for the anniversary of the Navarino naval battle. Competent sources report that the matter was exclusively in the hands of the mayor of Pylos and Nestoros Panagiotis Karvelas, who eventually laid a wreath on behalf of … Russia, whose embassy complained that for the first time they were not invited to celebrate a historic event.

Nikos Androulakis received friendly criticism from several SYRIZA executives on Thursday evening during the launch of journalist Dimitris Maniatis’s book Brucinos. Eyewitnesses told me that Rena Duru had a long conversation with Nikos Androulakis, to the sound of the piano Stamatis Kraunakis, who was the speaker of the author’s book, but also shared with the audience some of his great successes.

Eyewitnesses told me that Andreas Katsaniotis, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and MP for Achaia, who had a meeting with the Prime Minister, crossed the threshold of the Maximos Palace for a week. My guess is that the discussion took place with both of his qualities, since Achaios deals with the issue of emigration, which is especially important for the government, but at the same time he is elected in the county, where the New Democracy should increase its percentage, since it traditionally votes for the centre-left.

Inauguration and aftermath

Many saw in the constant appearances of Antonis Samaras at the inauguration of state projects an intention to support the government. Of course, this aspect also exists, but it is not the only one. The former prime minister wants to build his reputation methodically, and the inaugurations he attended were about projects begun in his day: the metro in Piraeus and Elliniko. In fact, according to people familiar with the thoughts of the former prime minister, Samaras will continue to move in the same direction throughout the next period.
