The beginning of a 101-day hot political period, from today to July 2when they seem to be “locked up” second voteassured the prime minister that elections a simple analogue will take place during May – perhaps on the 21st or 28th of the month. The second elections are practically not taken into account, based on existing polling data and party positions.

During this period, four critical stations are recorded: firstly, the dissolution of parliament between April 24 and 28, since before that it is quite possible that a fierce confrontation has arisen around the tragedy in Tempe, either between political leaders or at a meeting Institutions Committee. After the official announcement of the elections, the announcement of the combinations by the Supreme Court, which will be called upon to rule on the eligibility of the Casidiaris party, is of particular importance. Following the first elections in May, the third important stage is the process of investigative orders. Although they are expected to be fruitless, the political leaders of the parties must “win” or “lose” depending on their manipulations. Finally, a new, even more “hot” one will follow. election season with particularly strong dilemmas regarding the governance of the country.

Four critical stations and a double showdown

George Burdaras

The prime minister’s assurances that elections will take place in May, with the 21st and 28th of the month considered more likely for a simple proportional vote, drive a political system centered on parliament and the presidential palace from today until July 2, when the second polls, seem to have been “locked” in a “hot” marathon lasting 101 days and at least three or possibly four extremely dense periods.

Period one: It has already begun. Given that the minimum pre-election period is 21 days, Parliament must be “dissolved” no later than 28 April. Until then, it is planned to vote several bills and mostly provisions-amendments of almost all ministries with the traditional scheme before each election. In this context, it is possible that political leaders will decide to institutionally cross their swords against the backdrop of Tempi, while planning a meeting or meetings of the Committee of Institutions for Tempi is also expected.

Upcoming conflicts against the backdrop of Tempi, decision on the Casidiaris party, investigative orders and final dilemmas.

Second season: The Presidential Decree on the dissolution of the Parliament launches procedures for registration of political formations and candidates for deputies. The act of declaring combinations by the Supreme Court is crucial, as now, based on a recently passed law, the Supreme Court is called upon to decide whether the party created by Il.Kasidiaris can participate in the elections. . At the same time, some changes should be made at the ministerial level with cross-party trustees, taking into account the elections: this concerns at least the minister of the interior and the representative of the government.

Third season: After the official announcement of the election results, the Speaker of the Parliament or his deputy announces to the President of the Republic the number of parties in the new Parliament. Since independence is not expected after the first meeting, Ms. Katerina Sakellaropoulou initiates an advance directive process with successive appeals to the leaders of the first three parties. In the meantime, a new national delegation is convened, deputies are sworn in, a chairman and deans are elected. Each investigative order is valid for three days. The cumulative period of nine days is considered unlikely to be exhausted based on the relevant remarks by Mr. Mitsotakis, on the one hand, that his goal is self-reliance and the formation of a strong government, and, on the other hand, by Mr. Ala. Tsipras that if he is the second party, then SYRIZA will not seek to form a “government of losers”, while in such an environment, Mr. N. Androulakis is questionable whether he will use all three days. In case of failure of the investigations, the President, according to the Constitution, “summons the leaders and seeks the formation of a government from all parties of the parliament for holding elections, and in case of failure” appoints in turn the chairmen of the Council of the Empire Evangeli Nikas, member of the Supreme Court Maria Georgiou or the chairman of the Chamber of Accounts I. Sharma “ the formation of a government with the widest possible recognition for the holding of elections and the dissolution of Parliament. Mr. Sharma is estimated to be the “oldest”. In fact, the new election campaign would then begin in parties with apparently stronger dilemmas, as the specter of mismanagement looms.

The fourth period: It starts on July 2, when, as mentioned above, the second elections are scheduled, which, based on the new electoral law, could lead to the creation of an autonomous government. The leader of the party with the absolute majority of seats in parliament is appointed by the president as prime minister. If there is no self-confidence, the circle of investigations is opened again in order to establish a scheme for government cooperation. If a government is formed – independent or not – it will take several days to form it and to get a vote of confidence, and in the extreme case, if there is no agreement then, the country will have to hold a third election race.

N.D.: the main thing on the agenda is the state

Stavros Papantoniou

After the accident in Tempi, the issue of restructuring the public sector came to the fore. By all appearances, this issue will become one of the central issues raised by the SI. during the pre-election period, which has already begun, as the prime minister, who called the elections for May, said in his last interview. The central philosophy of Maximos, as described by Mr. Mitsotakis, is the fight against what is characterized as the “deep state”.

At the same time, he raised the issue of low wages, emphasizing the following: “Let’s then agree that if we want the state to be truly productive, then there must be responsible persons who may not have a salary.” private sector, but humiliatingly low wages are out of the question.”

The prime minister’s reluctance reveals the next steps planned by the interior ministry. In recent years, there has been very dense legislation aimed at raising the level of civil servants. Even before the Tempe accident, the effort began with a pan-Greek writing competition, which was announced by the Supreme Council for the Selection of Personnel (VSEP) for the recruitment of permanent employees in the public and wider public sector, with the participation of a total of 75,000 citizens who created a “reservoir” of 12,000 recruits by absolutely objective criteria.

The innovation of the competition is, on the one hand, the creation of the so-called “reservoir of successful candidates”, through which the state will cover existing and future needs for personnel and b) the use of specialized skills and abilities. instruments designed exclusively for specific competitions. Thus, for the first time, a human resource of a theoretically higher level, the category of university and technological education, is created, which is absorbed as soon as a vacancy appears.

Government sources tell “K” that the process that has begun for the “new state” requires at least three years to see it in practice.

At the same time, however, their inherent shortcomings still exist. The private sector has certain tools that the public sector does not have, mainly salary increases and promotions. The government wants to take steps forward in these areas. According to “K”One of the measures he is considering to introduce is a new executive selection system that will be based on evaluation not only of formal qualifications, but also of second-year cash bonuses. The goal is to reward good civil servants.
Today, the process is very slow, with the result that it takes up to 7 years to choose a leader. In plans, the choice can be made internally in each ministry so that the head has a link to the subject. The selection will be made by a special council. In addition, it is supposed to tighten the job description to avoid “snorting”. For example, to become a hospital administrator, you need to have experience in the healthcare industry.

Three electoral axes of SYRIZA

Antonis Anzoletou

Two months before the elections, SYRIZA is counting down and entering the last stretch to the elections with the main goal of winning on Sunday in a simple proportional vote. Consolidation of its dominance in the 10 regions that remained “pink” in 2019 is considered “unexpected”. The emphasis is on the large urban areas of Athens and Thessaloniki, as well as on regions where the “scissors” four years ago were not very big. Political planners emphasize that the battle will also be fought in the traditional “castles” of the Northern Far East, especially in Macedonia, following the example of 2015.

rule

It is clear that the Komunduru will open the fan of questions wide open, however, without stopping at the question of answers about the tragic incident in Tempi. They do not intend to violate the rule “the economy wins elections”, despite the fact that narrowing the gap with N.D. it only happened after the train crash. The solutions offered by the SYRIZA program to combat accuracy and improve everyday life will be constantly promoted by the official opposition. The need for income to restore their purchasing power will be a priority, along with proposals to alleviate what they see as an impoverished world. On the agenda is a change in the production model. A detailed presentation by Alexis Tsipras on the protection of the first residence is expected. Measures on private debt fall into three categories: for businesses, individuals and households, and for public debt as a whole.

OUR Alexis Tsipras very soon he will start touring all over Greece. Prior to the dissolution of parliament a month later, when the pre-election period officially begins, deputies and leaders without turnout restrictions will also focus on the second axis of the SYRIZA government program regarding a strong state. After Tempe, infrastructure support will be offered along with the party’s plan for a new railroad. “Decibels” of criticism will fall not on a tragic accident, but on a “sober reason,” as the president pointed out on Saturday in the Political Secretariat. The welfare state, with an increased role for health care and education, which implies increased spending, is an integral ideological element of the political left.

Through the surveillance case, SYRIZA has already identified the third pillar of its program, which is related to the rule of law and meritocracy. After all, this is an area where Alexis Tsipras has had an advantage over the prime minister for some time now. The fight against corruption, transparency in the public sector, since he accused the authorities of direct orders, will become an additional “weapon” in his election quiver. The meeting of Alexis Tsipras with the EYDAP and EYATH staff was absolutely part of the opposition tactics followed by the official opposition. He accused the government of starting the process of water privatization, with the first step being the creation of a regulator.
