The dance of the “organs” begins this week in SYRIZA with a surprise meeting of the Political Secretariat on Monday and the convening of the Central Committee at the weekend. The party “Umbrella” “opened” with the text of disagreements on the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO, despite the party’s decision to vote for the entry of the two Scandinavian countries into the Alliance.

The dust raised by this diversification was small compared to earlier times. The unification achieved by Alexis Tsipras after the conference largely clarified the situation in Kumundura. Nobody expected the left cadres to change their positions, because officially they are now a 25 percent minority. Ultimately, the trend decided to take this step after Parliament first sanctioned it. It was seen as a cool and deliberate initiative, based on the extremely radical past of SYRIZA, but the main point was that the cases of Sweden and Finland are clearly different from others – Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova – in their membership in NATO.

“Umbrella”, according to “K”, will not shut up even during the discussion of political events, which will take place in the Political Secretariat. The left is losing its power, they say, as manageability forces them to make concessions. Adhering to the characteristics of the party’s identity, those who participate in the body, among which Nikos Filis, Euclid Tsakalotos, Panos Skurletis, Panos Lambrou and others, will indicate that the mobilization of the popular factor will play a decisive role from now on. on the. Members of the minority will emphasize that the increase in social resistance must become visible, above all in the nationwide strike on November 9th. In the end, this will be an opportunity for SYRIZA to take to the streets with PASOK, MERA25 and also the KKE bloc. According to the same sources, for the war in Ukraine, they will offer the formation of conditions for creating a movement for peace in the country, as well as actions to include people from the poorest social strata and youth in the political process. who opted for abstention in recent election contests. With the world looking more buttoned up during the pre-election period, Umbrella insists SYRIZA has not seized the opportunity it has had over the past three years to break the anti-SYRIZA front.

Most executives do not agree with the above actions. At the meetings of the Political Planning, accuracy and energy are the priority, and the issue of monitoring will remain on the agenda. What do they appreciate? How the government, insisting on the real danger of Turkish threats, wants to change the discussion. The party’s strategy is to deepen TIF’s programmatic areas, change the model for dealing with the economic crisis, strengthen small and medium-sized businesses and vulnerable groups, which, they say, the government has abandoned to their fate.

The choice of persons in the next municipal elections, one of the topics of the Central Committee next weekend.

The line of forming a progressive government remains a big goal, with most emphasizing a centrist space approach. “K” has the opportunity to know that the last speeches of Kostas Skandalidis were discussed a lot in the parliamentary group SYRIZA, the first one in the parliament at the beginning of September, and later on the “ieidiseis” website. In cutting all bridges to cooperate with the ND, he referred to the political possibilities of simple proportionality, emphasizing the need to elect a government at the first vote. Together with Haris Castanidis, they claim they are showing the way for PASOK to “no longer give up on itself.”

The importance that Alexis Tsipras attaches to non-partisan alliances has been demonstrated by the decisions that have been made regarding the self-government schemes that SYRIZA will promote, removing the trenches of previous elections. Center-left, center-right and even center-right who meet the criteria of self-government and social criteria will receive support in October next year. Party tickets are thrown away, the counter is reset to zero, and all this will be discussed in the Central Committee in six days. The title has yet to be confirmed, outside of some initial discussions. Dionysius Thebonere was hit against the region of Western Greece, as he seems to have preferred parliament so far. Stavros Arnautakis will be the undisputed candidate for Crete, while for Central Macedonia, PASOK-born Simos Danielidis doesn’t look like he’s going to say yes easily. Antonis Gundaras, longtime mayor of Agia, who also participated in the SYRIZA congress, belongs to the same party. Information “K” says that due to his very successful tenure, he was also seen in Thessaly in 2019. The same is expected to happen now.

In Epirus, think tank member and rector of the University of Ioannina Triantafyllos Albanis seems to be in the lead. In the municipality of Thessaloniki, the name of Yiannis Mylopoulos is well-known, and in Patras, Vassilis Ayvalis has a clear leadership. For Nasos Iliopoulos, the information says that it is not his priority to be a candidate again in Athens, however, if asked, he may agree. Ideally, they would like SYRIZA to form an alliance with Pavlos Gerulanos. However, the fact that the former PASOK candidate is not from the circle of Nikos Androulakis leaves no room for further planning at this time.
