Immediately after Halloween, Harilau-Trikoupi is waiting for a response from the competent service of the European Parliament (URI) to the question of Nikos Androulakis if through its monitoring by EYP in 2021, his immunity status as an MEP was violated. This response, according to Mr. Androulakis’ associates, concludes the first round of the PASOK President’s actions in the surveillance case, which, however, it is emphatically emphasized, will not be forgotten and left without further action. However, further steps are expected to be taken at a later date. This is because the final opinion of the European Parliament’s PEGA committee investigating the use of illegal software in the EU is likely to be made public in June. However, it is possible that in the meantime a new project will be given.

“At this stage, we encourage citizens to consider the case of wiretapping when deciding how to vote. The monitoring “report” must be through the elections to be seen at the ballot box”, PASOK spokesman says. And he adds that it should be understood in all directions that the party will use all available tools in the next parliament to get answers that were not given by either the Commission of Inquiry or the Committee on Institutions and Transparency of the current parliament.

Since the movements on the eavesdropping front are almost exhausted, since all institutional procedures have been initiated both at the national and European level, in Harilau Trikoupi they are turning their attention to the electoral campaign with targeted and as specific interventions as the elections approach. The visit of Nikos Androulakis to Menidi last Monday is the standard for excursions in Attica. “If only the region voted, our percentages would be much higher,” comments a PASOK presidential ally, acknowledging the “pool” problem.

However, the picture is different in the basin, and Androulakis’ headquarters believes that the party has significant opportunities to improve its position and claim a significant share of the vote. This is planned to be done through a coordinated voter outreach campaign and grassroots ferment, with the mobilization and presence of the PASOK President himself in as many areas as possible.

“We are talking about an interactive approach, when the president and party officials will approach citizens and try to answer their specific questions. To this end, local organizations have already been instructed to “map” the special needs in each region so that we can act in a targeted manner,” emphasizes a close associate of Mr. Androulakis.

And he adds that the main group that PASOK seeks to reach out to are people “behind the walls”, that is, those who have turned their backs on politics, as they are frustrated by the lack of practical answers to the complex problems to which they are called. cope. “We are talking about young people who are going through a stalemate and think of escaping abroad as their only option, we are talking about middle-aged people who are in a financial stalemate either because of a decline in real incomes or because they cannot get credit – if we we are talking about freelancers – for retirees experiencing a retreat of the welfare state in the provided medical and social services.

Update

Androulakis staff admit that the bet they want to win is “not easy and a requirement for all parties. However, we believe that the renewal of the executive branch will give us an advantage,” they note.
