New ND candidates were announced yesterday. all over Greece “closure” of the ballots, except for a few cases, such as the case of Heimaras in Phthiotis, where the SDOE investigation was not completed. The ballots, according to party sources, include 50% of new faces, of which 42% are women and 58% are men. The Council of State is expected to be announced after Easter and is chaired personally by the Prime Minister, with T. Skilakakis and Chr. Stylianides.

Renaissance vs.

In a short space of time, Kyriakos Mitsotakis launched a double “attack” on George Papandreou, rekindling a feud that “speaks” to the average ND voter. After Lamia, where he recalled that the GAP “is sitting on the PAP’s bars and fighting against privatization,” the Prime Minister returned the day before yesterday from Ioannina, where he accused Giorgos Papandreou of sinking the country. In particular, Mr. Mitsotakis criticized SYRIZA for copying the PASOK slogan “We change or we sink”, adding: “Remember who said it first. We haven’t quite changed, we sank then.”

Venizelik

Marcos Bolaris, Deputy Minister during the reign of Papandreou in the period 2009-2011, and also later under SYRIZA, was probably known in the narrow streets of Pasok as a “Papandrean” and a fierce “anti-Venizelist”. But, as everything shows, these divisions have remained in the distant past and times are changing. Yesterday there was a presentation of the book by Marcos Bolaris “Politics of Place, Poetics of the Path”, with the main speaker Evangelos Venizelos, who spoke with warm words about the feelings of the former member of parliament.

Winners

Recently, dozens of measurements have been made, not only of the percentage of parties in prefectures and regions, but also of candidates. I will not go into nomenclature, but I will make a general conclusion: the popularity increased among those leaders who spoke during the collapse.

Green light

In addition to the parliamentary ballots, in yesterday’s bulletin P.G. SYRIZA also discussed primary schools. According to the information, the possibility that basketball player Nikos Pappas could be a candidate for Athens was positively received by everyone after the announcement he also made. Will there be announcements of mayors in the Sunday Central Committee? Let’s see… However, the former vice-governor of Piraeus Giorgos Gavrilis “closed” behind Piraeus.
