I have information for you from the Katehaki. Why did the government and personally Takis Theodorikakos “took”, as they say, with criticism of SYRIZA on the issue of immigrants in Evros and started such a war? The answer is that Mr. Theodorikakos informed Spirtzis from the very beginning on paper and in squid about what was going on in Evros, and thus SYRIZA was aware of the situation. However, they decided that they should attack the government.

Diplomatic appearance

Dimitris Avramopoulos appeared at a party in Alexandroupolis on Monday evening. The theme of the event was “A Strong Greece in a New International Environment” and the former commissioner and minister spoke particularly warmly of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his foreign policy. However, with regard to surveillance, he was not asked, and he did not dare to give any comments. On the same panel were also Mr. Foreign Minister Andreas Katsaniotis and MP Thassos Hatzivasiliou, with the former Foreign Minister having good reason for both. On the other hand, he praised the deputy minister for his diligence and “excellent work on emigration issues”, and said of the deputy minister that he was “a brilliant young politician, one of the most reliable analysts of the international situation.” .

Step

Real sources in the column told me that the new Citizens Protection Ministry cg Michael Karamalakis welcomes his transition to the political stage as a parliamentary or mayoral candidate in Heraklion, Crete, where he hails from. This, the same sources say, is one of the main reasons why he accepted the new position in order to stay “in the system.” However, it should be noted that there was another consideration that was not pursued: in particular, the proposal called for Mr. Karamalakis to move to civil protection, which was not further discussed.

Difficult constituencies

The Prime Minister’s program for the post-TIF is already being prepared. I do not mean Paris, where the meeting, as I know, will be of great interest, but the internal program. The goal is for Mitsotakis to make 2-3 trips per month to the Greek region with first stops in Arta and Arcadia. Arta is one of the few prefectures where ND operates and lost in 2019 – also due to the location of Tsipras and Gerovasilis – while Arcadia is a key prefecture in the Peloponnese. On the one hand, it is not as right-wing as, for example, Laconia and Messinia, on the other hand, it lags behind in terms of managers, since, apart from Kostas Vlasis, it does not have correspondingly strong managers who will “pull the faction up.
