Information received from a source close to SYRIZA. So he told me that the return of Gavriel Sakellaridis to the official opposition party is now more likely than ever, without being able, at least my source, to predict how this can be done, since there is a direct connection with Alexis Tsipras. However, for the record: Sakellaridis, as head of the Etheron Institute, a few days ago “attended” – as did the President of SYRIZA – at the event at the Goethe Institute “Zero Hour for Democracy”. Listening initiative. The initiative was founded by academics in the wake of an outbreak of wiretapping, which appears to be a problem that could act like glue in the centre-left space.

Except SYRIZA

I’m staying with SYRIZA because a few people have pointed me to something that I admit they’re probably right about. Alexis Tsipras was on strike last Wednesday and moved comfortably outside the SYRIZA block after some time. Obviously, the leader of the official opposition believes that the political momentum is now on his side, and this was noticeable on his airwaves.

Approach from Karamanly

I consider it a given that Maximos Palace will soon try – if it has not already done so through third parties – on the one hand to get closer to Kostas Karamanlis, and on the other to spy on the intentions of the former Prime Minister in view of the national elections and whether he will eventually be a candidate or not.

Closed update

An interesting (very) closed briefing was given by the Greek Ambassador to Washington, Alexandra Papadopoulou, to the Greek parliamentarians who visited the United States as an observer of the American elections. These are Giorgos Arvanitidis of PASOK, Thodoros Karaoglu and Dimitris Markopoulos of ND and Anastasia Gara and George Varemeno of SYRIZA. To them, Ms. Papadopoulou said that there is no reason for the Greek side to take a position between Democrats and Republicans in the dispute, since there are contacts with both sides, and therefore, being a simple observer, such as the parliamentarians in question, she is the most sober.

Trump toxicity

In addition, the elections certainly had political messages, which I don’t know if they reach our shores on the other side of the Atlantic. However, Trump’s people have raised the issue of accuracy very highly, speaking of “Biden’s accuracy” in the same way that SYRIZA speaks of “Mitsotakis’s accuracy” here. The strategy did not take root, as the result was not as expected.

Additional ally

In addition to the six Greek Americans who managed to get into Congress, Greece is gaining another ally. He is the son of the famous Bob Menendez, head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who bears the same name as his father and was elected in New Jersey. Menendez’s feelings for Greece are well known, and those who know him well say his son shares them.

Mobility in the Ionian Sea

Of the current heads of regions, all will be re-candidates, with two stars. I have already written about one of you, and this concerns the Peloponnese and what Panagiotis Nikas decides. The second case concerns Rodis Krats, who will turn 70 next year and may decide to end her political career. Since the script was released, many have already started looking at Corfu, which is the administrative center of the region.

Creating a climate

Since there is a lot of talk about toxicity, let me give you one more piece of information from the SYRIZA camp. In an ax. opposition, it now goes without saying that they will try to counter the government with a scandal. In this context, according to some sources, direct instructions from the Mitsotakis government have been collected over the past three years in order to gradually come out and create a negative climate in public opinion.

Attack Suggestions

As for the reaction of N.D. the intentions have already become clear, but the information says that the phenomenon is expected to increase in the next period. Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ reaction to the emerging political situation, with a focus on wiretapping, can be found in the phrase that “the best defense is an attack”, and many of his interlocutors urge him to act even more aggressively against SYRIZA in the next period. .

In Saint Isidore

Are the guards aware or is control lost? The stay of the priest Dimitris Loupasakis at St. Isidore of Likavitsky and reports from his entourage that he is not going to leave and that there is no ultimatum from Archbishop Mr. Jerome worry the hierarchs who have long been calling for an end to “miracles” and in deceiving believers. Those close to the archbishop say that this issue is being dealt with only he, and that what he said is true in full, since there is a meeting at which he awaits a final answer from the priest and his followers.However, even the prelates, expressing dissatisfaction with the extension of the issue under consideration, admit that the wave of support and sympathy for the priest of St. Isidore seems to be is weakening and, perhaps, this will give impetus to the rapid development of the controversial issue.

Ankara for Tsunis George

According to the column, Turkey is pleased with the US ambassador to Athens, George Tsuni, because he listens to a different point of view. Turks were particularly impressed by the presence of Mr. Tsunis at an event organized at the Turkish Embassy on October 29 on the occasion of the Turkish national holiday on the occasion of the anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey. The US Ambassador, leaving for Thessaloniki on October 28, took care to return to Athens for at least a few hours and sent them an important message by his presence. The Turks, on the other hand, always remember Mr. Payat, who, in their opinion, did not listen to other opinions, which is why they called him “Payatopoulos”.
