With speeches by political leaders and a roll call vote tonight, the five-day parliamentary process of discussing the budget for 2023 ends. Interest is focused on the new confrontation between Mr. Mitsotakis and Al. Tsipras, in the shadow of two cases, surveillance and scandal in the European Parliament, which left an explosive imprint on the informal pre-election domestic political agenda, which is confirmed all these days by the image of the national delegation in the plenary chamber of the parliament.

What will Mitsotakis-Tsipras say?

As “K” wrote in yesterday’s report, the prime minister will move along three axes: first, with regard to the topic of discussion, the budget, he is expected to give a general report on the economic situation of the country and the prospects for the Greek economy in 2023. The minister will include his argument in a broader framework that predicts a slowdown in global growth from 3.1% in 2022 to 2.2% in 2023 and the eurozone economy from 3.3% to 0.5% respectively. In this broader context, the Prime Minister is expected to say that the Greek economy has stood its ground and will continue to move in a positive direction. At the same time, she will highlight government policies throughout her term of office, on the one hand, supporting the weakest and smallest businesses, and on the other hand, emphasizing development that creates new jobs. Mr. Mitsotakis will stress that the community support will continue, but without compromising the country’s financial capacity. On the basis of the above, the prime minister is also building a narrative about the need for stability and self-reliance after the elections.

The second and third axis on which the prime minister is expected to move concerns the political framework, as it is being formed after the recent events with Qatargate and the wiretapping case, which has been on the political agenda for five months. Kylie’s case, as it became clear last week, further alienates N.D. PASOK because it brought back the dividing lines of the past with “belligerent” statements between the two sides. Mr. Mitsotakis will certainly touch on the issue that is shaking the European building and reiterate that for 20 years Ms. Kylie has been part of PASOK, and Mr. Androulakis’s attitude towards “blaming” her for N.D. it’s provocative. From there, the prime minister will separate the leadership from the party’s voters in line with the ND strategy. is to win as much of PASOK’s electoral base as possible.

Also, undoubtedly, he will touch upon the issue of wiretapping, which will inevitably form the third axis, since it is this issue that will dominate on the part of the opposition. The Prime Minister will repeat what he has already said, that is, the initiatives taken by his government to protect the EPM with a new structure.

For my part, Alexis Tsipras, has a dual purpose. A wide field of opposition to “hard rock” with Cathargate, Eva Kylie and them follow up it will not go unnoticed. From the moment it is believed in Kumundura that government events have begun to exert pressure, Alexis Tsipras is expected to pay particular attention to cases related to corruption.

The case of wiretapping by the Mitsotakis government and the European scandal allegedly involving a Greek MEP who belonged to a socialist group but is said to have supported the current majority are yeast on which to build an attack on the majority.

He is expected to mention the administration of justice and the delay with which the legal proceedings against Belgium were initiated in Greece. A typical example is a surveillance case where no evidence has yet been obtained from telecommunications providers.

In the debate on the budget, according to the decree, there is no right to replace the leader of the main opposition, so Alexis Tsipras will have to “share” all economic issues in his speech. This will be the main “menu”, as SYRIZA still believes that the Maxima precision cocktail is not treated with the right policy.

The new generation of bad loans being created, the concentration of wealth in banks, oligopolistic interests, the impoverishment of society, the speculation of energy companies, the accuracy in basic commodities and fuels will be at the forefront of the former premier. ministerial position.

He is also expected to accuse the government of passing a bankruptcy law aimed solely at liquidating citizens’ assets.

Mr. Tsipras will refer to his party’s opposition program, which includes, among other things:

• Substantial response to the accuracy crisis by introducing a real price cap as well as a rate of return in the energy industry and taxing real excess profits.

• Reduced VAT on fuel and VAT on food.

• Raising the minimum wage and indexing wages in the public and private sectors.

• Cancellation of the claim contribution for professionals and the return to pensioners of what they are entitled to: retroactive effect and the 13th pension.

• Repeal of anti-social laws such as the privatization of supplementary insurance.

It is noteworthy, however, that until yesterday evening, national issues remained outside the scope of conflicts, and Foreign Minister N. Dendia characteristically noted that the parliament “should support and strengthen national achievements that are far from petty party calculations.” And, emphasizing that “we have always paid very dearly” for division “in foreign policy matters”, he pointed to the need for “solidarity in large national elections.” In the same vein, former minister Dora Bakoyannis stressed: “2023 will be a difficult time for our foreign policy issues and the national delegation will need to persevere.”

Formerly Deputy Prime Minister Pan. He also said bitterly that “in times of crisis, we must put aside party interests and party conflicts and put the national interest first.”

Atmosphere of war between ministers and leaders of SYRIZA – Mitsotakis and Tsipras are speaking today.

Immediately thereafter, one of the parliamentary representatives (the other one is Mr. P. Skourletis) from SYRIZA, I. Ragusis, launched a personal attack on Mr. Pikrammenos for wiretapping. Two representatives of SYRIZA specifically targeted Ministers C. Pierrakakis, Ad. Georgiadis, M. Voridis, I. Oikonomou, and P. Theodorikakos. In fact, in the latter two cases, Mr. Ragusis and Skourletis accused them of using expressions (“toloculturists” and “thugs”) that refer to the characteristics of the Golden Age. “I don’t deserve to comment on this sad outburst,” Mr. Theodorikakos commented on Mr. Skourletis’ condemnation. Moreover, the decision of the majority to try to compare the political choices of the current and the previous government led by Mr. Tsipras provoked a sharp reaction from the official opposition.

“In someone else’s barn”

Against this image, other parties spoke of a “meaningless duel”. Mr. N. Karatanasopoulos once commented: “A folk proverb comes to mind: ‘Two cute four-legged friends had an argument in someone else’s barn.'” Until last night, a unique island of worthy parliamentary debate on pressing economic issues has shaped the dialogue of Finance Minister Chr. Staikouras and one of the leaders of SYRIZA I. Dragasakis.
