According to the column, George Prevelakis’ term as Greece’s Permanent Representative to the OECD has been extended until April following a government decision. This specific movement could “photograph” Maximos’ inner thoughts. Who are they; Perhaps the next Greek representative to the OECD will be one of the current government officials who could not at this stage leave his duties and move to Paris, hence the extension of Mr. Prevelakis’ term by several months. In this case, there may be many candidates, including Minister of State Giorgos Gerapetritis, who has experience in such a high post.

Boundary Solution

I wrote to you earlier about the internal debate at Maximos over deputy governors and whether they will finally be on the ballot. It was ultimately decided not to run, as inner peace was preferable to the votes they brought. And I’m referring to the complaint of the sitting deputies, who said that the inclusion of deputy governors on the ballot is unfair competition, since deputy governors exercise local government and start with an advantage.

PASOK’s invitation to a deputy from… N.D.

It may be at the central level, but at the local level, interpersonal relationships play a role. This is the only way I can interpret the fact that the representative of the PASOK prefecture in Piraeus II invited the ND MP to cut the pie. Dimitris Markopoulos. The invitation has an explanation, as the local council offices are in the same apartment building as the deputy’s office, and co-living has brought them closer together. Fortunately, the PASOK executives reconsidered the invitation and withdrew it, realizing that it could cause misunderstandings. The area is nice but we said…

Desires statehood

Alexis Tsipras wants Athena Linou to be on the SYRIZA ballot and Kumundour’s proposal is for a doctor to demand a cross in northern Athens. She, according to the information, wants statehood and the discussion is stuck somewhere out there, with a shipwreck now a possible scenario.

Dora Tzambazi – Candidate

The widow of the late Olympian Alexandros Nikolaidis, Dora Tsambazis, accepted the offer to become a candidate for SYRIZA or for an elected position in Epicratia or Thessaloniki. If the second scenario is correct, Katerina Notopoulou and Alexandros Triantafillidis will have cause for concern as they face a strong candidate in their region.

Syrian presence

The presence of Giorgos Tsipras and Christos Karamanos, former Deputy Regional Governor for Finance of Duros, at Yiannis Sgouros’s event at the Old Parliament, commemorating the 20th anniversary of his faction and in honor of the late Fofi Gennimat, created a sensation. The presence of the two has been commented on as expected, as SYRIZA is currently targeting not the support of Sgouros, but Giorgos Ioakeimidis, the current Mayor of Nicaea-Rentis.

Alliance of the South

Takis Theodorikakos becomes an active player. With Dora Palli no longer running in southern Athens, the Citizens’ Defense Minister hastened to rekindle his old friendship with her mother, Fani Palli Petralia, whom he met at the ministry by posting a picture on social media. The estimate between the two is a given, and the nearly 11,000 crosses Dora made in 2019 is a good reservoir.

Whine about the presidency

Recently, there have been several complaints against Nikitas Kaklamanis from ND MPs, as they believe that when he presides, he is biased and leaves SYRIZA MPs freer than ND MPs. At one of the last meetings, member N.D. the one who interrupted him said that he did not have the same strictness towards the deputies of SYRIZA.

Reppa’s letter

If there is a prefecture that PASOK will be the last to close, it is probably Arcadia. The dilemma about whether Vangelis Yannakuras, former deputy governor Petros Tatoulis, will finally become a candidate, still exists, and I think it will be one of the last to be answered before the elections. However, Giannakuras has a fanatical supporter, as some time ago a former government spokesman, Dimitris Reppas, sent a letter to Androulakis in support of his candidacy.

He wants dirt

Another open front in PASOK is Katerina Laspa. Despite recent attacks on her when she voiced her objection to drag queens reading fairy tales to children, the PASOK president is far from blacklisted. Hara’s sources told me. Trikoupi, they would like her to be nominated.
