Nikos Androulakis invited Patriarch Bartholomew to visit Strasbourg and speak at the plenary session of the European Parliament during his recent visit to Fanari. The head of Orthodoxy could say a lot of interesting things about the war in Ukraine, climate change, the solidarity of peoples in a speech that, if it takes place, will become historic. However, this proposal requires “cross-party” approval to be implemented.

Independent MP and head of the Patrida party, Konstantinos Bogdanos, has been on the move in Athens lately. Logically, one might say, since this is his constituency. But this is not the only reason. As he recently said at a meeting he held in Kypseli, the municipality of Athens is a political goal for him, no matter how his party succeeds in the upcoming elections. And it is very likely that we will see him as a candidate for mayor.

Regarding Athens A, let me tell you that during the week, Kyriakos Pierrakakis held his first “official” campaign rally, specifically at Hellenic World, on the topic of – what else? – Greek Digital Leap. The gathering was essentially a crash test for him to measure how many people he could muster in his constituency. The test was positive, as rumors about the minister’s current were also reflected in attendance. However, the battle for Athens is still far away, as many leaders are fighting for the top three.

For the second time in a short time, Megaro Maximos is especially concerned about the attitude of Evangelos Venizelos, not so much because he “destroyed” Dogiakou’s opinion with his analytical article, but because he does not miss the opportunity to “dress up” the public with his spiked posts against the government for the rule of law. And the conclusion is – as I wrote to you before – this relationship ended … on both sides.

One of those developed by the ND web team. in the run-up to the elections, to expand the party’s activities on TikTok, the most popular platform among the 16-24 age group. In fact, it’s possible that executives who don’t have an account will also be asked to create one, as every vote counts in the first vote.

The presence of SYRIZA MEP Petros Kokkalis at Theophania in Piraeus last week drew sharp criticism, with many complaining that after the MEP, the politician’s next step would be to descend into the great port.

The disappointing image of Tatoi, where kings, princesses and dukes from all over Europe will gather today, frightens many, as it is a slander of the country. The intense work that has been going on since Thursday will shape the space, but not enough to hide the perpetual abandonment of what could be one of Basin’s greatest attractions.

A government official, defending the government’s decision not to bury the former head of state with honors, said as an example: “Imagine Lycabettus dropping cannonballs for the former from Lycabettus,” adding that the image that would be broadcast would be completely wrong. Or, as the old politician used to say, three months before the election, “everything is political: both funerals and weddings.”

There are delays in the rate of N.D. formation. their ballots, as you can read in the detailed report on page 9, and the final form is expected in February. The delay also poses a side problem, as the ruling party will probably not have time to count the candidates and select the strongest at the local level, as the time slots become increasingly compressed.

I wrote to you last week after the announcement of Papathanasis’ candidacy that Adonis Georgiadis would take him on his shoulder. Opera and so it happened. In all settlements of the northern outskirts, the minister and deputy minister now walk together, and Georgiadis is trying to introduce his deputy to the world. Of course, by and large, Papathanasis has other paths, since as a former leader of the party, he can also activate the party apparatus, which is not enough to make him an MP, but it will certainly give him a boost.

The fixed coldness of a part of the traditional voters of the ND base. with the government was seen in Maximos. Therefore, in the next period, surprises can be seen on the ballot, which will be joined by traditional leaders. I was told that something similar was originally discussed for Athens A, and I don’t mean Dimitris Avramopoulos.
