“We don’t let anything fall and we leave nothing behind.” Under this motto PASOK activates the strategy of an all-round programmatic opposition, as “we are now entering the last mile of the pre-election period”, as the leaders of Harilaou Trikoupi characteristically state. The main goal is to “create a solid audience in all social groups to convince a substantial alternative proposal,” they add.

The strategy of the party has already manifested itself in recent days in a number of issues: in healthwhere, in addition to presenting their own program, responded point by point to what the relevant minister had said, Thanos Pleuris· in energywhere PASOK insists on a retail ceiling proposal and requests data to demonstrate the distortions created in the market as a result of not implementing the measure; about measures to solve the aggravated problem seeking asylum, where he also comes with a complete offer. The full program of the party is expected to be submitted for consideration in the coming days. workingwhich led to the need to update laws that dramatically changed labor relations during the period of the memorandum, and proposals to restore the system of protection of workers and provisions such as collective agreements.

“The goal is not fruitless opposition, reaction for the sake of reaction, but to convince that we can be the voice of realism, the voice of the possible,” say the PASOK headquarters, and for this reason, criticism of any politician is accompanied by a counteroffer. As an example, the attitude of the party to the “household basket”, which premiered the day before, is given. From PASOK, they remind that they supported the measure in Parliament, with an asterisk, however, that its implementation must be combined with strengthening and intensive monitoring in order to properly implement and combat the phenomena of speculation and constant price increases. At the same time, they insist on strengthening measures to protect purchasing power by reducing VAT on basic products.

On top of all this, they say that they do not leave aside issues such as the issue of telephone surveillance. In fact, there is discomfort on the part of SYRIZA, as it is implied that Komunduru is again trying to tie PASOK to his own wagon, cultivating the narrative that Harilaou Trikoupi is gradually lowering his tone on wiretapping.

Through this programmatic opposition structure, PASOK seeks to reconnect with all social groups that were its privileged audience in the past and hopes to convince them that they can become an alternative to the majority.
