PASOK announced them first bulletins at least the vast majority of them. Harilaou Trikoupi, in order to note the best preparation and organization before the elections, presented on January 29 at the meeting of the Central Committee 82% of her ballots. This was preceded by many months of election commission processes to achieve the best possible result.

From the very beginning, the party leadership attached particular importance to the element of renewal. Rejuvenation of both face and age. And in many respects the goal was achieved. 63% of PASOK’s ballots include young people, and one in three candidates, 31%, are under 45 years of age. The element of renewal was seen from the outset as crucial in trying to show that the party could, on the one hand, succeed in escaping forward from figures and practices that are not approved by the citizens, and on the other hand, inspire young people both in terms of age and standard of living. . participation in politics to become active as candidates.

An analysis of candidates shows that 92% have a university degree, 12% also have a PhD, and 30% have a master’s degree. The ballots feature the most “traditional” professions of politicians, i.e. doctors, lawyers, civil engineers, journalists, but there are also a few teachers, freelancers and civil servants. There are also two unemployed, Eleni Georgoulis, who will be the party’s candidate in Pieria, and Athanasios Charalambopoulos, who “descends” to Evrytania.

Looking through the lists of candidates, one can see Giannis Batzarakidis, a young farmer who will be a candidate in 2nd Thessaloniki, Diamantoulou Kritiko, a farmer from Florina, an athlete Anti Liaga from Ioannina, livestock breeders Mary Maru from Larissa and John Karras in Trikala, farmer Emmanuel Chnaris in Rethymno .

Candidates also include the art restorer Stavroula Michalopoulou from Achaia, the photographer-artist Spyros Poros from Messinia, and Maria Andreopoulou, a classical sports coach from Phokis.

The effort made by the electoral commission was to present as representative a sample as possible of people who move and act as active citizens in society and have a positive impact on the local communities they reach out to by claiming the citizen’s vote. With regard to gender discrimination, 42% of candidates are women and 58% are men. There is also a mandatory provision that at least 40% of candidates from each party must be women.

However, PASOK was able to announce the vast majority of its ballots at first, however there were still some pending cases that were being gradually filled, and information indicates that Arcadia’s last pending ballot was also “closed” yesterday and had included the current MP Odysseas Konstantinopoulos, the former deputy governor of the region Evangelos Yannakouras, the former mayor of Gortynia Yiannis Yiannopoulos, Diamanto Sarantopoulou and Emilia Lily.
