Mister. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Alexis Tsipras and Nikos Androulakis, right after the Easter break. Party headquarters are preparing by prioritizing such as completing bulletins and first of all the state, the promotion of central slogans, but also trips to the “key” electorates.

N.D.: Steps 4+1 after Easter

Stavros Papantoniou

The last short break before the elections is the current four-day meeting, at which Prime Minister regroup his forces from Tinos, where he will rest for a few days, and plan the next key steps of the government in the last leg of the road to the elections, namely:

1. ‘The Lie of Alexis Tsipras’: From Wednesday, when the Prime Minister is in Corfu as part of his tours, he will continue to cover the ‘lie’, as government sources say, of Alexis Tsipras. The alleged privatization of water, false recruitment promises that are almost the equivalent of a memorandum, and the cancellation of a solidarity rally that has already been cancelled, underline, according to government sources, how “Mr Tsipras is politicizing, as in 2014. The government will continue to emphasize this “striving for a juxtaposition of the two terms”, which “the ax head methodically avoids the opposition”.

2. Visit to the President of the Republic. Next Saturday, April 22, Mr. Mitsotakis will travel to the presidential palace and the elections will officially begin on May 21 with the dissolution of the current parliament. So we are entering the last leg of the road to the elections.

In the last 20 days leading up to the election, Mr Mitsotakis’s schedule will consist almost exclusively of touring, with a focus on Attica, which has seen the biggest fall in the polls since Tempi.

3. By the end of April, New Democracy will present its program for the next four years. This is the next step in the campaign, as a comparison of the actions of the ND government will be added to them over the past twenty days. and the Government of SYRIZA, and what Mr. Mitsotakis plans for the next term. “SYRIZA, apart from denouncing – usually false – the ND government, does not tell us what it plans to do in the next four years, other than hiring thousands of civil servants,” says a government source. Maximos believes that elections are always won from the point of view of each party, so from the end of April to May 21, the emphasis will be on what will be done from now on. The prime minister has already announced the main directions for the next term, which boil down to the following: wage increases for all and restructuring of the healthcare and justice systems. In this sense, after Easter, the final slogan before the elections will be presented, which will reflect the desire to continue changes at an even faster pace.

4. State presentation. By the end of April, a bulletin on the statehood of ND will be presented, which is a secret behind seven seals and is an absolutely personal choice of Kyriakos Mitsotakis. What is certain is that there will be a strong presence of women, and the name of Prof. Maria Efthymiou was proposed to the Prime Minister. So far, however, only two people are considered “locked in”: Thodoros Skilakakis and Christos Stylianidis, while it is possible that Stavros Papastavrou, who will play a key role in Maximos after N.D. it’s the government again.

5. In the last 20 days, the premiere program will include almost exclusively national tours, but with a focus on Attica, which, after Tempi, recorded the largest drop in the public opinion polls. Two major speeches by the prime minister are expected last week, according to eiotos, in Thessaloniki and Athens.

The rally is a bet on SYRIZA

Antonis Anzoletou

36 days before the opening of polling stations in SYRIZA they keep the “engines running” even during Easter. OUR Alexis Tsipras he may have chosen Corfu for the Easter holidays, but he will be on the open line with his partners to keep the party fully active during the holiday season. He will return to his office on Easter Monday, and a visit to Lavrio for April 18 is already scheduled. On the 19th of the month he will give an interview to the morning TV show and leave for Kos the same day. Trips are planned weekly, and visits to the area, as well as areas of Athens, will be intensified after the announcement of the elections. The official presence of the leader of the opposition is already present daily in shops, markets and cafes to maintain live contact with people. Island and mainland Greece, even small towns, are already included in the layout of Kumundur. Political planners are preparing the last dilemmas on the way to the elections. Under conditions of climate polarization, the following slogans will dominate: “Change or Mitsotakis?”, “Honesty or corruption?”, “Truth or cover-up?”.

The first outstanding issue that President SYRIZA will close after the holidays will be the ballots. 32 names are missing from the lists, as well as 15 on the state ballot. Several faces are expected in the Attica Basin – a surprise as there is one position open for a woman in First Athens and three names in the North and West sectors. Four people were missing in the south and one in East Attica, in A-B Piraeus.

the main objective

Heading to the ballot box, Komundur’s main goal is to bridge the gap with New Democracy. Experienced leaders emphasize that the absolute unity of SYRIZA, as is usually the case, will be achieved immediately before the elections. Until then, its percentage will be underestimated. However, the April election trends from the Nikos Poulantsas Institute are encouraging the official opposition. According to Kostas Poulakis and Danai Kolcida, who edited the study, “N.D. continues to decline, while SYRIZA demonstrates stability, which further reduces the difference between them (to 2.3 percentage points). PASOK-KINAL also recorded significant losses that take it away from its target double-digit percentage, while KKE and MERA25 percentages show even a slight increase, in contrast to the “other parties”, whose combined percentage increases markedly (+1.2 units) “.

In terms of trends, “the leadership of SYRIZA (5.5 p.p.) in the category of 17-44 years old and N.D. (8.3 percentage points) among people over 45 years of age.

Alexis Tsipras from Kefalonia attacked the government by refocusing on everyday life: “We see a large majority of households unable to cope with bills, more expensive petrol and the supermarket nightmare. The top 15 companies have record profitability, with a profit of more than 1 billion euros. Speaking about the May 21 elections, Mr. Tsipras noted that these are not protest elections, adding that these are the only polling stations that will be appointed. “We cannot and should not be led to double, triple, quadruple elections as Mr. Mitsotakis wants,” he said.

It “locks in” PASOK State Party

Dora Antoniou

The Easter break is a crucial time to finalize the final details regarding the wording of the PASOK state vote. OUR Nikos Androulakis he informed a very close circle of his associates of the persons to whom he had already addressed. In addition, like other parties, PASOK will also seek to use the presentation of the statehood ballot, which, among other things, also functions as a “mirror” of each party’s philosophy. The presentation of the state will take place closer to Thomas Sunday, and it has not yet been decided whether a large event will be planned with the candidates or a more inventive way of communication will be chosen. The participation of PASOK President’s closest associates, namely Press Secretary Dimitris Manzu, Party Secretary Andreas Spyropoulos and Political Planning Secretary Panagiotis Dudonis, is no longer considered in the State Council. Also candidacies of Grigoris Lambrakis and lawyer Eleni Christopoulos, as an option for emigrants. In addition, the name of veteran goalkeeper Nikos Sarganis has been announced and the involvement of the cult artist is being sought.

In addition to the state, among those waiting to close just after Easter are gaps in the ballots that were left open when they were announced. There are official announcements that will be made in the coming days.

surprises

In the field of communications, on the eve of Holy Wednesday, the shooting of PASOK’s election videos took place, which will begin broadcasting immediately after the official start of the pre-election period. In the commercials that have already been completed, Androulakis himself is the protagonist, and his employees plan surprises, mentioning that citizens will see something they do not expect, something different from the usual personality-oriented election campaigns. They say it is meant to project the “clean face” of President PASOK and the messages will focus on the fact that in this election we decide our life, our country, our future. In the organizational sector of Harilaou Trikoupis, a daily program of activities until the elections has already been developed, which Mr. Androulakis will have to study and give the green light to, so that appropriate activities can be planned. The days leading up to the elections are largely divided between visits and mini-excursions to the basin areas and regional tours. The first event is scheduled to take place in Attica on the Wednesday after Easter and immediately after that, on Thursday, the President of PASOK will visit Lesbos, return to Attica on Friday and tour Thessaly over the weekend. Thematic events are also planned in the basin to present individual PASOK proposals aimed at, for example, health workers, young scientists, on issues such as youth unemployment, brain drain, etc. At the same time, TV and radio interviews are planned.

From Harilau Trikoupi, they declare that they are ready to participate in the debates of political leaders, if appropriate negotiations are carried out.
