PROBLEM

Opinion polls increase just before elections, and their main feature is small differences between them. In the GPO dimension of the “parapolitical” N.D. leads with 33.4% against SYRIZA, which registers 27.3%. They are followed by PASOK (9.2%), KKE (6.6%), MeRA25 (3.6%) and Hellenic Solution (3.3%). In a public opinion poll on behalf of The Toc, ND leads with 32.5% versus 26.1% for SYRIZA. They are followed by PASOK (8.6%), KKE (5.8%), Hellenic Solution (3.2%) and MeRA25 (3.1%). The moment of truth, of course, is approaching, but some trends are already visible. In addition to the first place, the battle between Hellenic Solution and MeRA25 for the passage to the Parliament and the final ranking is of particular interest. Sunday is a short day off.

ACCIDENT

A show called “The Other Side is Worse” featuring SYRIZA representative Popi Tsapanidou and former government representative Yannis Oikonomou was staged yesterday morning. “10 billion direct orders have been given and there are people who are controlled by the judiciary,” Ms. Tsapanidou told (ANT1) and complained that in the ND “There are people who put money in their pockets.” Mr. Economou replied that “it is one thing to control people and another thing to judge people. They may have been excluded from the ND ballots. and control people, but they are not like those who were convicted 13-0 and are on the ballots of SYRIZA, like Nikos Pappas. There is no more severe punishment for an official than for dereliction of duty.” It’s not unusual for political rivals to pit one against another on morning TV shows, especially in the days leading up to elections. But since both of the above have a long TV mileage behind them, it probably speaks of the need for polarization.

FACE

Veteran soccer player Juan Ramon Rocha. In Igoumenitsa, he met with the President of SYRIZA, Alexis Tsipras, who was also in Thesprotia yesterday. On this occasion, Mr. Tsipras “agreed” with the old ace of Panathinaikos to upload a video on TikTok (he went too far with the platform, but okay; such words at a time like this) about the course of the historic event this year. Athens team. “Great love is not hidden…” Tsipras said and added: “We had a chance, we were ahead of the league. I think he lost both in the match with Volos and in the match with PAOK, where we were at home. These two we could take. On the other hand, we overcame with the departure of Aris, with the departure of PAOK. AEK was a bit better than us,” said Alexis Tsipras. “He wasn’t ready yet, AEK was better, they had a team,” Juan Ramon Rocha replied. In other words, the two men filmed a simulated conversation in a coffee shop, ostensibly by accident. This is the fake magic of social media. No scenery or script needed. You just cook with what you have. By the way, the evergreen – as I saw it – Juan Ramon Rocha comes by itself and is superfluous.

PLACE

Return to Greece. One in Heraklion, the other in Ioannina. One in the north and one in the south. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras were yesterday in the context of their election tours, one in Crete and the other in Epirus. PASOK President Nikos Androulakis visited Thessaloniki, where he also spoke last night. KKE member Dimitris Koutsoubas. MeRA25 secretary Janis Varoufakis “cohabited” in Heraklion with the prime minister, in an area where SYRIZA “beats” 45%, and Mr. Androulakis also hopes (because of his background) that he will collect high interest. Kyriakos Velopoulos of Hellenic Solution has been touring Macedonia over the past few days, where he believes his greatest electoral power is hidden, recalling the Prespa Accord.

ATTACK

“He put the good of the country above the party, the good of the faction above his own personal good. And he had an incredible sense of humor. Maybe because he was respected from a young age, he respected the younger ones and listened. These are the words of Pavlos Gerulanos, a candidate in the first elections in Athens, about Thanasis Tsouras, who passed away on Saturday, and they are a complete description of a politician with moral and personal qualities. Thanasis Tsouras was PASOK from the day the party was founded by Andreas Papandreou until his last breath. But he was also sweet, approachable and talkative, so many will miss him.
