PROBLEM

On Tuesday, May 23, the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) will consider a request to waive the immunity of Alexis Georgoulis, in fact, at a meeting, which, as always, is held in a hurry, due to the publicity of the case. . According to K’s correspondent in Brussels, Alexandra Woodoury, at the same extraordinary meeting, a request to lift the immunity of MEP Maria Spirakis, as well as Emmanuel Francos from Hellenic Solution, which has been under consideration since 2021, will be considered. Also, the commission will consider the case on the protection of the immunity of Nikos Androulakis in the case of wiretapping. Mr Androulakis is no longer an MEP, but the process is usually slow, according to informed sources…

ACCIDENT

Election season and truth rarely go hand in hand. This was also proven in the case of an interview given by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Nikos Hatzinikolaou (ANT1). The reporter asked a two-way question about the railroad strike on the eve of the election, as well as the lawsuit filed by relatives of the victims against all those responsible. “I’m sorry that this issue is being framed in such an instrumental way a few days before the elections, and I believe that even the justified anger of the relatives of the victims does not justify such behavior,” the prime minister replied, among other things. . The social media trolls made the necessary clippings, and Mr Mitsotakis appears to have attacked the relatives of the victims. She was followed by Popi Tsapanidou of SYRIZA, who accused Mr. Mitsotakis of lack of sympathy, and Akis Skertzos became his “successor”, emphasizing that the term “instrumentation” refers to the railway workers’ strike. That being said, Nikos Hatzinikolaou also noted that his question was edited as the first part of it was deleted.

FACE

Kyriakos Velopoulos manages to attract attention wherever there is a lens. Probably not for what he says, but for how he says it. The feeling that he had done better in the debate than the leaders of the smaller parties was shared by many, but this was also reflected in an opinion poll conducted by Alco on behalf of the Alfa TV channel. In the question “regardless of which party you vote for, who impressed you the most in political leaders’ debates”, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis ranks first (25%), SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras (18%), Kyriakos Velopoulos ranks third place in Hellenic Solution (9%), followed by Nikos Androulakis (7%), Dimitris Koutsoumbas (6%) and Janis Varoufakis (4%). The “miles” that Mr. Velopoulos wrote in front of the camera were, after all, also the ones that made him recognizable enough to become party president. Otherwise, the survey is unlikely to change the overall picture that has been captured by measurements so far, with N.D. score 32.7% against SYRIZA, which reaches 26%. They are followed by PASOK (8.3%), KKE (6.1%), Hellenic Solution (3.7%) and MeRA25 (3.3%). The sailing freedom of Zoe Constantinopoulou, the first non-parliamentary party, is registered with 1.8%.

PLACE

Syntagmatos Square last night. c.g. KKE Dimitris Koutsoubas addressed the audience at the party’s central pre-election event. However, to my knowledge, neither Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis nor SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras attended the meeting, both of whom said they wanted to have coffee with the Prime Minister. KKE. The first to understand, as he confessed to Katerina Kainurgiu, why Mr. Koutsoubas is a communist. And secondly, because he thinks he will be better off. However, a few days earlier, Mr. Koutsoubas said he didn’t even have time for coffee due to increased campaign commitments. If there is no time for coffee before the elections, then undoubtedly, given the stated position of the CHRG regarding partnership, there will not be any after.

ATTACK

“I have known Kostis since he had curls, and he is the servant of my heart,” Dora Bakoyannis emphasized at the last campaign rally of Kostis Hatsidakis, causing tremors of emotions, but also sincere surprise. Ms. Bakoyannis also said that Mr. Hatsidakis “is not afraid of political costs, he puts his head in a bag and acts effectively. He is the minister of difficult missions.” The rubric is looking for a photo of Kostis Hatsidakis, which will show the famous curls that Dora Bakoyannis spoke about. However, in addition to discussing the hairstyle, a lot of people gathered at Kostis Hatsidakis.
