Relations between Antonis Samaras and Kyriakos Mitsotakis have been at a very good level lately. In fact, according to the column, a secret dinner was recently held between the current and former prime ministers, which was not reported. This explains the fact that Antonis Samaras, in all his contacts, when he refers to the government of Mitsotakis, speaks favorably, because, despite the mistakes he points out – which he also spoke publicly in his speech at the foundation – he always comes to concluded that SYRIZA should not return and the faction should remain united.

The question, after the information about the dinner that I gave you, will there be a similar contact between Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Kostas Karamanlis. The relationship of the two is known to be in a frozen state after the speech of the former Prime Minister in Anoia, which also reflected in the polar-temperature four-four that they had during the speech of Antonis Samaras. However, given that the government is urgently looking for support in northern Greece, where Karamanism is traditionally strong, to achieve independence, Maximou would like to see the former prime minister again as a candidate in Thessaloniki. Therefore, I do not rule out that four or four between Mitsotakis and Karamanlis will occur in the next period.

Stavros Papastavrou, as the column first wrote, actually joined the team of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and participates in many meetings. For example, the former partner of Antonis Samaras attended the last one, held in Maximos, on the topic of preparations for the elections. The information even says that it is possible that Papastavrou will also be in Epicratia, as many will see him the next day – until ND. it is the government again – in a key position, as Giorgos Gerapetritis is today.

In this case, I asked my good source what George Herapetritis would do. Will it go to the ministry, as has been written several times, for example, to the Ministry of Justice or Foreign Affairs? A well-informed source told me that it is possible that the Prime Minister’s closest associate could “play” for the post of commissar. “Save this script,” he told me.

After talking about Stavros Papastavrou, I remembered another old associate of the former prime minister who flirts with Mitsotakis. The reason is Dimitris Ptohos, who is said to be a man the prime minister considers particularly capable.

I’ve been hearing a lot lately that Megaro Maximos is positive about re-approaching Char. Tricup, like no one knows how life brings them together. In fact, some go even further, saying that some channels through third parties already exist and carry messages from both sides. I don’t know if this rumor could end up being anything more specific. However, many say that Androulakis may deceive Mitsotakis after the first election and agree to negotiate a joint government. In this case, the game of accusations will take on a wild beauty.

Over the next few days, and maybe tomorrow, New Democracy will announce the creation of an “electoral commission” that will be responsible for preparing the party for… the prefecture for the elections. Giannis Smyrlis, who recently resigned from his post as General Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is expected to take a full-time position on the committee, while the committee will also include Nikos Hardalias, Vassilis Kontozamanis and other experienced party figures.

Experienced with glasses but inexperienced in party corridors, Popi Tsapanid has a lot of work to do, especially in front of the lens. During the preparation, as I was told by sources in SYRIZA, the entire load will fall on Babis Papadakis and his team, who will edit the texts, and the journalist will first make several videos, as department heads do. Panels and TV battles will be released in the second year.

I am staying with the new representative of the official opposition, as I was told that Mrs. Tsapanidou was… interrogated, and the result cannot go unnoticed. Of all the journalists(!) Popi Tsapanidou is the most popular among women, which, until proven otherwise, shows that Tsipras made the right choice. Maximos knows the specific sizes and will certainly try to focus on the female audience in the next period.

There was great interest of the Turkish media in the Epiphany in the City, which were indeed very crowded. Interestingly, the Anadolu agency also sent two divers with… a marine camera to drop the cross, apparently because they wanted to see what was happening not only on land, but also under water…

3 years, 6 months and 2 days

The shadow of the ancestors always burdens political descendants, such as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Therefore, it is of great semiological significance that the Prime Minister next Thursday surpasses the time period of Konstantinos Mitsotakis as Prime Minister of the country. His father remained prime minister for 3 years, 6 months and 2 days when he finally fell in October 1993. a new “record” as prime minister, which is no mean feat, as those who are well aware of the innards of Mitsotakism say that the sudden end of Prime Minister Epitimo has always held a special place in the family mythology that Kyriakos now occupies. managed to overcome.
