TO SYRIZA they may have characterized his process debate barren and fruitless, yet they accepted as a “gift” the return to news of the EYP wiretapping case. In search of the largest possible rally in Kumunduru, eight days before the opening of the polls, they are expected to pull the question of surveillance out of the box. They claim that with his answer about Kyriakos Mitsotakis was irreparably exposed, and for this reason, for the first time in the pre-election period, they chose Alexis Tsipras for an emergency application at the entrance to Kumundura.

“Mr. Mitsotakis acknowledged that there was a wiretapping scandal and that there was no national reason for surveillance. But if there was no national reason for the surveillance, how did he invoke national secrecy to hide the truth from the commission of inquiry? Why does Mrs. Vlahova, who illegally subscribed to these illegal observations without national considerations, the EEM prosecutor, still remain in her post? And why, nine months later, justice did not lay any responsibility on anyone, no charges?

Pre-election noise produces more “decibels”, and Komundura knows this. The attack on Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the surveillance case, as it did a few months ago, provides another opportunity Alexis Tsipras contact the PASOK President. In a last-ditch effort to put behind the recent controversy over Andreas Papandreou’s “legacy”. In a statement, the leader of the official opposition added that “Mr. Androulakis’s report on the need to bring those responsible in this semi-state case to justice is reasonable. Except it’s just as likely that with a New Democracy government this will never come to fruition. This is only possible with a progressive government. On May 22, let us all assume the responsibilities entrusted to us.”

The President of SYRIZA launched a vicious attack on the New Democracy with a car in the case of wiretapping.

For SYRIZA, the debate was the last reboot of the pre-election period. A key point as they believe the “defense” the prime minister played was a “catenaccio” that didn’t do him any good and his inability to provide answers was seen. Alexis Tsipras found an opportunity in the three-hour process to uncover the “fan” of questions he wishes to raise. Punctuality, his proposals to reduce the VAT – EFC, which have an impact on society, the profitability of 15 companies listed on the stock exchange, and support for weaker sectors were at the center of the agenda set by the former prime minister.

Another goal of Alexis Tsipras is the specific audience he is trying to reach. According to SYRIZA, the TV brawl revealed that the prime minister is out of touch with reality and the needs of most citizens. Especially in relation to young people, the middle class and pensioners. For younger ages, he pointed out the importance of abolishing the minimum entry base. As for the second category, which cost him the 2019 elections, in his very first statement he indicated that they were in danger of being destroyed. As for the third age, in which the party fails, he reaffirmed his commitment to the 13th pension and in hindsight.

“Alexis Tsipras has given the state assessment” – this is the motto of the TV duel between his partners. And from the fact that he did not respond to the constant challenges of Dimitris Koutsoubas and was not bothered by the duplicity of Nikos Androulakis, he made it clear that progressive governance is a realistic goal.
