In some cases, the development of party policy on the way to elections does not require deep analysis, lengthy meetings and expert strategies. Where should he go SYRIZA and how it should move around the region, two photos are enough of how the map of Greece was colored in September 2015 and July 2019, respectively.

His party is pink Alexis Tsipras three years ago, he managed to save ten electoral districts: the whole of Crete (Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, Lassithi), Achaia, Western Attica, Western Sector of Athens, Second Piraeus, Arta and Xanthi. What does it mean; How, first of all, the current official opposition will focus on its “castles” in order to increase its influence and dynamics. An attempt to involve neighboring areas. Strong MPs who survived 2019, such as Olga Gerovasili in Arta, will be invited to share their recipe for success and work with new faces who will support combinations.

Investing in places where SYRIZA remains strong is extremely important, as many officials believe that the signal for the restoration of the party can be given from there. With the exception of Arta, Kumunduru has remained undefeated in the remaining nine regions since June 2012. In Crete – and especially in Heraklion – SYRIZA has already felt the breath of PASOK thanks to the lineage of Nikos Androulakis. The Komunduru say they remain strong on the island, where the centre-left championship will be played out. It’s a big bet for Harilaou Trikoupi to paint the island green, while it’s even more important for New Democracy to paint it blue for the first time. The location of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is a weapon that played a major role in closing the gap in 2019.

Where is SYRIZA fighting and looking for ways to close the gap? In the south of the Peloponnese (Laconia, Messinia, Arcadia, Argolis) and, of course, in Northern Greece, where also the sovereignty of the New Democracy was not disputed even in 2015 (Serres, Kilkis, Drama, Kastoria, Pieria, Evros). In Chios, as in most of the aforementioned regions, the current majority managed to score almost double the score against SYRIZA in the last elections. Especially in these areas, the approach of the public, which seven years ago challenged the absolute dominance of the “blue” faction, is a priority for those in charge of political planning in Kumundura. Alexis Tsipras is expected to visit Pyrgos, Karditsa, Drama and Grevena in the next period.
