PROBLEM

A picture of PASOK President Nikos Androulakis kneeling and placing a white rose on Fofi Gennimat’s grave is the most powerful image taken since last Sunday’s election. The timing, in fact, immediately after the meeting of political leaders under the President of the Republic, which institutionally marks the countdown to the formation of an interim government, as well as the path to the June 25 elections. PASOK has always played by the rules. Evangelos Venizelos supported PASOK in its darkest moments. Fofi Gennimata managed to secure him in third place. Androulakis wants to go further.

ACCIDENT

The “Greek Solution” of Kyriakos Velopoulos is recognized as a key opponent before the new elections on June 25, and this is none other than the “Niki” party of Dimitris Natsios, which missed the parliament by several votes, gaining 2.92%. Nicky is fighting for a similar Hellenic Solution electorate, so a tough “grinding in” has already begun in the extreme right space. Mr. Velopoulos, in his testimony (ANT1), argued that Nicky was a “sub-piece” that was commissioned by N.D. to stop the growth of the Greek solution. As usual, Mr. Velopoulos added that he had solid evidence for all of this. Alas. From Nika, they described “Mr. Velopoulos’s decision to downgrade the democratic opinion of 172,000 Greeks as bad.” And they asked Mr. Velopoulos to “make public his ‘evidence’ which we are sure is as authentic as the ‘Jesus Manuscripts’ he was selling in his teleshop.”

FACE

The voice of the “father of the family” is more important. It could be the headline in a political obituary record about the left-wing SYRIZA candidate’s lost seat. Where the “old” SYRIZA deputies opposed the former PASOK officials, the latter succeeded almost everywhere, leaving aside even prominent figures from Kumundura. Marilisa Xenogiannakopoulou (Athens A), Christos Spirtzis (East Attica), Yiannis Ragusis (Piraeus B) – not to mention Nina Kasimati, who forgot that she was PASOK. Giannis Ragusis, of course, has the pleasure of being one of the few MPs who will have local company and their life partner, Marina Kontotoli, elected in Trikala. It’s no secret that secular magazines are full of tumultuous relations between the parian, former interior minister of George Papandreou’s government in 2009-11, and a hairdresser from Trikala. The most striking example is that of Marilisa Xenogiannakopoulos, who did not include the younger Kostas Zachariadis and the “old” Panos Skourletis in the list. While Christos Spirtzis also expelled the old and prominent chief executive of SYRIZA, Evangelos Antonaros, from parliament. However, in recent days, it is these leaders who bear the burden of post-election presence in public debates.

PLACE

Ikaria, the “red island”. “Galata Village” KKE. There, the KKE became the first party with 35%, keeping the old tradition that the island is unique at all levels. Something that gave the KKE a reason to celebrate it, and the fact that in neighboring Fourno it was registered as a second party with 20%. “Ikaria, having taken first place in the KKE, showed the way. Not a day was wasted on any of our islands, everyone was in battle in their workplaces, in neighborhoods, in villages! For the KKE to rise even higher on Ikaria and Furnos!” Oddly enough, this proposal was compiled and posted on the 902 website based on the text of the local committee of Ikaria-Furno of the KKE.

ATTACK

If we talk about “Ponto” and the genocide of the Pontics, then we will talk about the massacre of 1919-22 in Asia Minor and the fall of Tripolitsa. This is what Hulusi Akar, Turkey’s national defense minister, said shortly before the second round of Turkey’s presidential election, trying to follow the recent crescendo of statements and other developments by representatives of the ruling party against everyone. Let him wait another month until we’re done with regular elections and he’ll start again. While we are doing well, let’s not lose heart, especially in matches that are already decided.
