His conspiracy SYRIZA it is calculated that it moves in the 70% zone. What is the purpose? Seven days from today, to reach 85%, greatly increasing the batch percentage. When asked why in Kumundur it was not possible, according to existing opinion polls, to significantly reduce the gap from New Democracy, the answer is now simpler than a few months ago. The official opposition failed to take people from the blue faction and bring them directly into their ranks. That is what he did in reverse Kyriakos Mitsotakis in 2019. The theory of “a train with passengers waiting on the platform until they get the next one” is politically realistic, but does not positively affect the psychological and unmistakable success rate of victory.

His many years of effort Alexis Tsipras To penetrate a more conservative audience, he made visits to the “castles” of Piraeus. It has been haunting Northern Greece since November and December last year, when it was found in Serres, Pella, Kilkis, Florina and Kastoria. So far, no new dynamics has been recorded, reflecting the movement of voters from the “blue apartment building” to Kumundura. The most conservative citizens, disillusioned with New Democracy politics, and especially the public that left the party after Tempi, are a “reservoir” that will be the target of the official opposition until the last moment. That is why, in the position that Alexis Tsipras took during the debate, he addressed all Greek voters, “regardless of whether they are left, right or center.” “They have the power to make big changes in their hands,” he said characteristically.

“No”

Political leaders in the debate, in fact, appealed to the 10% of the electorate, which is still undecided what to do next Sunday. The results of the TV fight can be seen in polls that will be published within a week. Nobody expects cardinal changes from the clash of leaders. Alexis Tsipras has been building a progressive governance narrative almost since the beginning of his second term in the official opposition. She was sufficiently weakened by the fact that the parties to which she addressed not only constantly diverged in their positions, but also adopted aggressive tactics towards SYRIZA, fearing their “exclusion”.

The truth is that during the phone call last Wednesday, the President of SYRIZA did not even glance at Janis Varoufakis. Some officials argue that the return of the MeRA25 secretary in 2015 acted as a deterrent to those voters who would have considered “taking the new train.” But they believe the left’s leaks are over, and now the former finance minister is the problem.

How will Alexis Tsipras gather this centrist-moderate audience now? By bringing the issue of surveillance back on the agenda and appealing to their democratic sensibilities and sensitivities. Although elections are approaching and time is running out, the game is still open and SYRIZA is determined to put pressure on PASOK like never before. When Nikos Androulakis spoke of “criminals who should go to jail”, he automatically opened a new door in this particular case. Those in Komunduru who said that the government’s line of defense in wiretapping were right. Harilaou Trikoupi, according to SYRIZA sources, has no more excuses not to cut ties with Kyriakos Mitsotakis. “On the stool of the parastat of wiretapping and opening, at the same time, the possibility of cooperation with the high priest of the parastat of wiretapping, it is not possible. These two are not compatible. They don’t make sense,” said the former prime minister from Larissa, signaling that he is determined to launch his own two fronts if PASOK does not change its stance.

Despite the attack on Al. Tsipras in the blue castles of Northern Greece, no movement of voters from the “blue tenement house” to Koumundura has been recorded so far.

The youth, the middle class and the retired are the three critical voters targeted by Alexis Tsipras and his bosses who are plowing through Greece. Those who believe that the chances of victory are narrowing expect nothing more than a small difference with the New Democracy, which will be completely reversible in the second round of voting. After all, Kumunduru appreciates that the party’s profile has been updated with a state vote that includes many think tank leaders, academics with heavy resumes and non-partisan affiliations.

Factors of Optimism

Optimism about a good outcome is based on three factors:

• Elections are held in four years, and no one can know the hidden forces that “hide” the electorate.

• They remember the conditions under which 31.53% was achieved in 2019. This was preceded by a big defeat in the municipal elections and in Eurocalp with a very poor percentage (23.75%). The government at that time, in addition to the normal wear and tear of power, had on its “back” the tragedy of Mati, the Prespa agreement and the divorce from the middle class due to its overtaxing. “How much worse can it be?” they wonder.

• They hope to form a “new alliance” of voters from different regions that will unite them on institutional issues and the rule of law.
