“There are decades in which nothing happens, and there are weeks in which decades happen,” Lenin said, and this is what has happened in the last two weeks, as events have moved so quickly that I don’t know where to start. First I want to tell you about… the flip side of Venizelos and Mitsotaki’s relationship. You will definitely have in mind the opinion of the former President of PASOK and the ensuing conflict with G. Gerapetritis. What is not officially known is the opinion of Mitsotakis himself against Venizelos’ furious attack. Let me tell you in simple terms: the former president of PASOK is now on the “black list” of Maximos, and all ties with him have been severed forever.

One word

Relations with the center, however, are a broader issue that will worry the government in the next period because they are complex. For example, something that went viral was a post by Giannis Maniatis three days ago that, although generic in content, distanced itself from the government in one word; he called surveillance “illegal,” contrary to the government line that characterized it.” legal” but “politically wrong”.

Gallop and Economy

Mitsotakis, however, is not one to lay down his arms, and by no means intends to leave the centrist-modernizing space in the hands of other political formations, as he has worked hard to win it. The next steps will, Maximou says, focus on the economy, but much will also depend on what the first public opinion polls show in late August about the impact of wiretapping on society.

Retaliation since 2015

I end today with a vicious and personal attack on Kyriakos Mitsotakis – without naming him anyway – by former PtD Prokopis Pavlopoulos in a speech he delivered at the Kommeno of Arta at a ceremony to commemorate the 317 victims of Nazi atrocities. during a criminal raid on August 16, 1943. There he took the opportunity to refer to ongoing cases, noting that the responsibility in the wiretapping case could not be shifted, since “it is objective”, pointing to the prime minister himself. Most insiders recalled that in 2015, the current prime minister voted against Pavlopoulos as president of the republic, stating that he did not consider him suitable for the position, something the former PT never forgot.
