“Heavy” political messages were written in a laconic greeting by Antonis Samaras at the event of the Pan-Cyprus Bar Association on the delimitation of maritime zones in the Eastern Mediterranean, scheduled for Saturday afternoon. The ex-premier planned to speak harshly about Turkey, asking him not to have a dialogue with her. He was about to say that the neighbor has now moved on to practical tasks, trying to create achievements, noting that dialogue with her no longer makes sense. He would add that this is no longer a dialogue between two states that have differences and it is natural for them to discuss and find out among themselves – or otherwise go to “arbitration” – but now “it is more like a dialogue with a pirate trying to wrest our agreement take everything from us.” His teaching can be summarized in his famous phrase that “there is no dialogue with a pirate”.

Samaras’ opinion, which should have been made public, is that now is the right time to understand that “Turkey needs a different approach” and that “perhaps this is an opportunity for a different approach, without constant appeasement and without recycling phobic reflexes.” however, without specifying in what form this “other appeal” can be taken. “It’s not enough to be right. You must be able to defend your right. Otherwise, you will lose everything,” the former prime minister urges.

There are many scenarios for the – improved – Herapetrite in Megaros Maximos regarding his political future. He himself ruled out any possibility of being a candidate, and this chapter is indeed closed. However, it is possible that, since Kyriakos Mitsotakis becomes Prime Minister after the elections, the Minister of State will take the ministerial portfolio and leave Maximos. After all, the trust that the prime minister now has in him has been tested even at the most difficult stages of government. To the point where many say it could be the prime minister’s proposal for the next Commissioner.

As there are various rumors that Maksimou is preparing to appoint Prof. Makis Siassos as the next Rector of EKPA, let me tell you that nothing like this is on the horizon. And since the relevant rumors have reached Maximou – some even say they come from the professor himself – government sources say that this scenario is only in the imagination of those who spread it.

Under bars is usually said to be Viotia MP Andreas Koutsoumbas, with the possibility that Fanis Papatomas, deputy regional governor of the prefecture, will become a politician.

For almost a week, Deputy Foreign Minister Kostas Fragoyannis will be on the other side of the Atlantic. What is the purpose of the trip? from flesh and bone to science diplomacy, which began in Boston in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. Among other things, Fragoyannis is expected to have four with the leadership of the state of California, in which there is a Greek Eleni Kunalaki, as well as with the mayor of the city.

As far as I know, PASOK has serious problems finding candidates in a large port, that is, in Piraeus. One executive who has shown interest is Panagiotis Fasoulas, but from Char. Trikoupi will “make him wait” as they are not crazy about the “spider” of Greek basketball. Perhaps his close friendship with Georges Papandreou plays a role.

There are two qualitative elements of opinion polls that put Alexis Tsipras ahead of the prime minister for the first time: in the fight against corruption and in terms of accuracy. And this should alert and be addressed immediately.

Registry is inactive

I will report the news, also relevant, after what became known about the direct instructions to Mrs. Pitsika, who was the head of the New Democracy’s executive register. Recently, the register has not shown much activity, since during its creation it was, among other things, a communicative weapon for updating the performance potential of the party. Today we are at a different stage and therefore the registry is useless.
