The Communications Headquarters of Alexis Tsipras, with the participation of Nikos Marantzidis and Gabriel Sakellaridis, discussed over wine the new communication strategy for SYRIZA in connection with the June 25 elections. As I learned, the two main slogans they came up with were: “And yet it works” and “Now, SYRIZA.”

At the Dukakis house

Antonis Samaras’ short day trip to the US for his Harvard University Distinguished Personality Award included a special meeting. According to the column, former Democratic US presidential candidate Mike Dukakis invited the former prime minister to his home for afternoon coffee with Greek Consul General in Boston Simeon Tegos to congratulate him on his great distinction. The Greek-American politician at the age of 89 still shows great interest both in his place of origin and in the situation in the world, analyzing developments in the international arena with Samaras. And a touching detail: Dukakis took a special interest in Larissa and Mytilene, the special homeland of his mother and father.

Closed cabins

Alexis Tsipras’ difficulty with the June 25th events is that the people who voted for SYRIZA were completely disappointed. Walking through the squares, I see that the SYRIZA stalls are abandoned, unlike N.D. which are constantly overcrowded. This is also an example…

It interrupts the conversation

This is reasonable with the percentage that ND received. that in the background a discussion about … ministries has already begun. When President Mitsotakis hears this, his hair stands on end and he interrupts the discussion in every possible way, making it clear that if he is heard … the mobility of deputies, he will be included in the final crisis after the elections.

What did Crete show?

Opinion polls say that about 2% always moves like “air” to the first batch. The first tour of Kyriakos Mitsotakis after the elections – in Crete – seems to confirm the rule, since there were more people than on his tour a month ago. A Megalonisos MP who was with Mr. Mitsotakis told me that with what he saw, he would not be impressed by N.D. get up… a little more.
