The pre-election period before the second round of elections promises to be exciting. It sounds paradoxical, given – it is more than obvious – that N.D. will achieve comfortable self-confidence in the elections (probably) on June 25th. However, a merciless political battle began the day before yesterday, almost immediately after the polls closed, and will dominate in the coming weeks: the battle for dominance in space Center left. 20% off this SYRIZA raises reasonable doubts as to whether the official opposition party can be considered an expression of a distinctly wider political space of the Centre. 11.5% of them PASOK whet his appetite Nikos Androulakis and his leaders to try and capitalize on the momentum, SYRIZA’s quick retreat and his personal political defeat Alexis Tsiprasto return his party to a second pole position on the central political stage. And in the role of a true spokesman for the centre-left, its ideology and the expectations of a large part of the population, which in the past gave PASOK the features of political hegemony.

Tracers have already begun to be fired from both sides and the continuation promises to be especially interesting, although the confrontation will be tough. Quite logical, since both sides will face each other in a battle that will probably decide their survival and, at least in the case of SYRIZA, the next day for leadership.

Komundu refused to open and friendly attacks towards Harilau Trikoupi.

The Komunduru signaled yesterday that they were abandoning the “friendship attack” that dominated the election campaign, when Alexis Tsipras almost stubbornly sought from Harilaou Trikoupis at least a hint of possible cooperation after the elections, and Nikos Androulakis stubbornly fought back from flirting. Komundur. Now SYRIZA announces that they will continue their efforts to unite the movements in the future, but PASOK’s efforts to expand their influence cannot go unanswered. “We will not give him a piece,” the letter says. At the same time, accept guilty game strategy targeting PASOK, which Kumundura accuses of, instead of joining forces for the “front of progressive forces” and defeating the ND, he was only interested in strengthening his own and strengthening his electorate, which created favorable conditions for the strategy of Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The response was immediate from PASOK, who spoke of a “kiss of life to the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis” by Alexis Tsipras. It was accompanied by reports of SYRIZA’s dangerous stance on national issues, over-taxing the middle class, and a reminder of “local currencies”. And with the conclusion that “Mr. Tsipras, your political background is proportional to your electoral background.”

In Harilau-Trikoupi, they are preparing for a confrontation in order, as they say, “to reinforce that we are a strategic opponent of the ND, awe of the right.” Thus, they will enter the second round of the election campaign, raising the tone of anti-right rhetoric in order to draw clear dividing lines with the ND. and become the clear recipient of centre-left votes. The burden, of course, will fall on the basin, where it is clear that the party is lagging behind and can achieve a significant improvement in its percentages. Against SYRIZA, PASOK starts by stating that Sunday’s election results “are not an endorsement of the ND, it’s a complete disapproval of SYRIZA”, showing that an official opposition party cannot be a convincing counterbalance.

The PASOK leadership will seek to emphasize that this can be a fresh, updated alternative, while in addition to the faces that symbolize this renewal, weight will be given to the coverage of the party’s program against the policies pursued by the ND. “We will appeal to voters to show that we have a serious strategy and program that is relevant and adapted to the requirements and needs of the times. Not with the proposals that were made again in 2015 and again come to the fore from SYRIZA, as if nothing had changed, as if eight years had not passed, as if they had not been tested in practice to govern the country.” .

Others are to blame for the defeat of SYRIZA

Antonis Anzoletou

In Sunday’s elections, SYRIZA received 598,503 fewer votes than in 2019. And when this happens to a party that has been officially in opposition for four years, things get extremely complicated. At the meeting of the Executive Office, the atmosphere was heavy. It was found that there was an undetectable enhancement. New Republic in the last days before the elections and, of course, there was an assessment of the failures of the party, which threw it far back. Thirty-two days is too short for SYRIZA to reorganize and, above all, communicate the new narrative it will have against New Democracy. What they agreed on was that ahead of the June 25 election campaign, “a strong bulwark must stand against the omnipotence and arrogance of the Mitsotakis government.” “In the next elections, we have the main responsibility to prevent the emergence of an all-powerful and unruly prime minister,” Alexis Tsipras emphasized after the meeting of the body, outlining the narrative with which he will move in the next period. The message from now on must be crystal clear and clear, without the murky parts of progressive management.

In his statement, he blamed the defeat of SYRIZA on other opposition forces that did not respond to his call for unity: “In yesterday’s elections, the ND won, but at the same time, the strategy of simple proportionality was defeated. The progressive forces to which we extended our hand of cooperation throughout the entire pre-election period were a front almost exclusively against SYRIZA. And yesterday, during the historic victory of the right in the elections, they celebrated more than the new Democrats the falling percentage of SYRIZA. We looked at the country. They, their own field.”

Al. Tsipras.

Central Committee

The main goal, based on the President’s statement? SYRIZA must remain the nucleus of progressive forces. And for Kumunduru, reaching out to the public that has supported him since 2012 is a matter of “life and death.” There is a large diaspora that needs to be gathered. Tomorrow the Central Committee of SYRIZA will be convened to make a first assessment and outline the next important steps.

Confusion and difficult “next day”

Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ self-confidence proved that he could not be defeated by “flirting” with friendly powers and vague “progressive management”. And now the party is one against all. Uniting sentiments in the spirit of “defending the president” come from the meeting of the Executive Office. He clarified that he learned in difficult times to take responsibility and not give up in the fight. Contrary to some rumors, his removal from the June 25 elections was out of the question. What happens the next day will also be decided by new results. OUR Dimitris Papadimoulis he told SKAI that “leadership is out of the question when you have an election in a month. After the elections, we will create a fund, and I believe that our collegiate bodies will launch an extraordinary assembly process.” He was in favor of staying in the presidency. Elena Akrita: “Alexis Tsipras will come out stronger than ever after losing. And that will bring the left back to power.” Nikos Bistis told SKAI: “Our proposal will not work. This is my assessment, we will write them down now, but our assessment will be mainly after these elections.”

New faces

Thoughts to Komunduru that the battle for the upcoming elections will be won by the new faces who “performed” well in Sunday’s match.

According to “K”, yesterday there was discussion about the possibility of new faces with a strong imprint after the elections to acquire a more leading role. Can SYRIZA overcome the difference of 20 points? Engines are not warmed up in Komundura with this strategy. However, the statements of the leaders a few hours after the crash show the existing confusion. Giorgos Tsipras, in a Facebook post – in addition to the criticism he made, stressing that “they spit on us, there is no rain” – assessed that the independence of the New Democracy is not certain and that “the battle of the next elections comes first.” She is not lost. Nothing is finished.” In the same line, Christos Spircis, speaking to SKAI, noted: “Next month we will be given the opportunity to correct our own mistakes in order to demand, very difficult, a much larger percentage and, in the end, the government.”

Alexis Tsipras will visit Katerina Sakellaropoulou this morning to receive an order for an investigation, which he will hand over within a few hours.
