All the latest measurements that have become known to the column show that the 2.9% received by Zoe Constantinopoulou and the Niki party are showing an upward trend, and voters are likely to give them the opportunity to enter parliament. On the other hand, Pleussi Eleftherias are constantly stinging both SYRIZA and Yanis Varoufakis, while Niki has now gained more notoriety and has reservoirs from smaller batches such as Tzimeros – Kranidiotis. If the above is confirmed, then N.D. to gain self-confidence, he will have to repeat the percentage he received on May 21, because if it tends to decrease, self-confidence will be literally pushed to the limit, and if it is reached, then it will be completely marginal.

Nazios in… ROOTS

A nice diamond was brought to me by a friend who knows the extreme right area well. Therefore, he told me that when Vassilis Kapernaros founded the ROOTS party in 2015, which essentially emerged from the split of independent Greeks, the founding declaration was signed by Dimitris Natsios, the current president of the Niki party, among others.

Reign of Mitsotakis

It went unnoticed, but Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his latest interview (ANT1) actually revealed that his father was stronger than him. Specifically, after he mentioned that when he is offered crayfish on tour… he pretends to drink it but doesn’t drink it, he recalled that when he was young he followed his father on tour and said that will drink anything. he drank. “At 12 o’clock I was gone, I was somewhere else,” he said, indirectly demonstrating the great endurance of Konstantinos Mitsotakis.

Conditions

I stay in an interview with Mitsotakis when he mentioned his life after politics and how it will be done. He characteristically said that “all political careers end at some point” and “it’s better to end a career on your own terms than let someone else finish it for you.”

“Blue” civil wars

Despite the fact that everything revolves around national elections, local communities are moving ahead of regional ones. I will specifically mention the Peloponnese, where current regional governor Panagiotis Nikas is determined to be a candidate again, even if New Democracy does not support him, while former regional governor Petros Tatoulis has also taken a position in the race for the region. At the same time, there is a strong rumor that Kostas Vlasis will leave the parliamentary seat and become a candidate – with an “anointing”? – for the post of governor of the region, while he says in every tone that national elections are ahead, and he will do it. what the party decides. And in the midst of all this, some say there has been interest recently from Petros Dukas, who is thinking of running as an independent, creating a mosaic of nominations from former and current gay executives.

Attack

I asked an old rightist why SYRIZA reached 20% and where it is headed now. He answered me that “SYRIZA has ceased to be a political utility for society” because it has only learned to scream and today society is not represented by this model. He predicted that over time it would sink lower and lower. – What about the opposition? I asked him and he pointed to PASOK.

he lives it

I don’t know if other interim prime ministers have demonstrated this mobility in the past, but interim prime minister Mr. Sharmas shows that he has settled into the role quite well. He holds meetings, is informed and gives general directions on current issues, such as panhellenic courts and police, for which he called a meeting at Maximos yesterday. “He lives normally,” the former minister commented with a touch of humor. And he is very good at it, because he is the prime minister.

Step by step

I wrote to you last week that there is no certainty that Nikos Androulakis will retain his seat in Thessaloniki after the second election, leaving Haris Kastanidis in Parliament. After the reaction of Haris Kastanidis, I’m not at all sure that something like this will eventually be applied. People who know how President PASOK works told me that he is very specific: in the foreground he never swears, but in the background, if he doesn’t like something, he methodically works on it. And it is no coincidence that out of 41 PASOK deputies, 26 were re-elected.

First, it is Pleusi.

Yet there was a village where Journey of Freedom came out first. This is Priolithos Kalavritona, which even Zoya Konstantinopoulou visited, thanking the inhabitants for the first. Ms. Constantinopooulou’s party generally did well in Kalavryta, surpassing the 3 percent barrier.

He’s scared

What former PASOK minister and current SYRIZA MP is afraid of not being elected on June 25 if the party’s percentage drops?

Who are “Christian Communists”

I would tell you that the biggest concern for Nike’s future is not in Piraeus, but in the official church. This came under my radar when I talked to people who know the area of ​​the Church and they told me that Mr. Natsios’s party has a completely different perception of things than the official Church. For example, some say that the emerging party has a positive attitude towards the election of metropolitans from … the bottom, i.e. flock. It is no coincidence that one right-wing politician called them “Christian communists.” A heavy combination, I can’t say.
