During any discussions of political content, such as the timing of the elections and the administration of the next day, before the end of the investigation process and the funeral of citizens who died unjustly, do not enter into Maximos Palace. Political questions after an unimaginable tragedy do exist, especially with regard to the timing elections, but from Maximos in all tone they note that they will not enter into this particular discussion at this time, without even identifying all the bodies. It is also significant that the leadership of N.D. they did not appear on the channels during the three days of national mourning.

However, since, as predicted, time is relentless, and in particular the constitutional framework for elections, Kyriakos Mitsotakis from the end of next week he will be called upon to make decisions. According to “K”, the question will be back on the table from the middle of the week. The Prime Minister, however, given that he has not officially announced anything, and therefore will not make a “decision”, he will have the following facts on the table, as wrote yesterday “K”A: First, go to her main schedule. April 9, extending by one week the functions of Parliament, compensating for the days of national mourning. In this case, the parliament will be closed on March 17, and the pre-election period will be minimal, that is, 21 days until April 9, which also fits into the eternal logic of Mitsotakis. The fact that these days will be 40 days from the moment of the tragedy scares someone away, but there is also a reverse reading: the dependence of the election time on the commemoration of dead citizens is an indirect exploitation of their memory. However, if the prime minister decides to go to the polls on April 9, he can announce them before March 19.

Around the middle of next week, final decisions are expected to be made regarding the timing of appeals to polling stations.

Schedule for April 23rd. it is objectively difficult that the second elections will coincide with the start of the general Greek elections, since sources in the Ministry of the Interior insist that at least 40 days should elapse between the two election campaigns.

April 23 can be activated if there is confidence that the time between two elections can be reduced, and the second will take place May 28. If the prime minister decides not to hold a national election on April 9, then on May 14 or 21 for the first vote is a different scenario, with the second in early July.

Mr. Mitsotakis will be asked next week to put all the data on the carpet and determine the final date for the election.
