Alexis Tsipras was offered several times to remove Pavlos Polakis. He did not do this, because, on the one hand, he had a personal connection with him, and on the other hand, the fear that he influences and charms 4-5% of the party.

According to the information, in Komundura they “measured” the cost of removing Polakis for more than a year with the help of a survey and came to the conclusion that it would be significant – more significant than that which he caused by his noisy presence. .

That’s why Al. Tsipras covered him in interviews and in parliament every time he was asked to take a stand on some of the extremes of the Chania MP because, for example, he said that “ND is a pre-silogian party”, or because he expressed doubts about the vaccine.

He repeatedly and in vain asked him, himself and through third parties, to restrain himself not to give arguments to the front against SYRIZA and not to convey news to their internal parties.

In his attempts to invite center-left leaders, he often met with a refusal with an argument, imaginary or real, about the impossibility of coexisting in the same party with P. Polakis.

Several SYRIZA officials criticized the former Minister of Health, mainly for the style and to a lesser extent for the content of his speeches, while most recognize him for his revelations (Pacis, Nicolau Kok).

What has Al changed? Is Tsipras throwing him off the ballot?

The prosecutor’s intervention was the catalyst. SYRIZA could officially and centrally delegitimize the judges of the Special Court, calling into question their decision to sentence N. Pappas, but P. Polakis went much further, overcoming not only a political, but also a legal measure.

Asking as a future minister for “clearance” of journalists, judges and bankers with names and addresses, he forced the Justice Department to respond by forcing Al. Tsipras leave him.

He certainly strained his position, because for the first time at the last meeting of the Political Secretariat he spoke out against the leadership of SYRIZA, blackmailing him that he would not be a candidate if one of his chosen ones did not enter Chania. vote.

And certainly the president of SYRIZA-PS needs a small victory in the battle for the center, since the polls (and those that he considers valid) show that K. Mitsotakis is significantly superior to the average, and the announced ballots did not make the impression that he sought in terms of openness to social democracy.

The leader of the official opposition did not immediately understand that P. Polakis would constantly create problems for him, raising a fuss until the elections, and there is no certainty that he wants and can remove the polarization.

P. Polakis expressed the culture of revanchism, anti-institutionalism and intolerance in the most authentic way, praising Aris Velouchiotis and listening to the EAM anthem.

Cursing, threatening and stomping, he created an atmosphere of civil war, promising a great jurusi and the occupation of the Maxim Palace with a resalto for the second time, which will be different and not the same as when “they took the government, but not the power.”

His program included a second school of judges, the nationalization of at least one systemic bank besides the CPT, and other “reforms” outside of the European context.

As is often the case with those who are accustomed to impunity and believe in their omnipotence, he has crossed the line and will be forced to watch as pento SYRIZA murmurs, stunned, perhaps one of his favorite songs:

“A knife in the heart / that’s what treason is / send to Charo completely / love and friendship”
