First Prime Minister Last Tuesday, he opened the door for a third election, decisively as he determined that it should take place in August, stressing that if N.D. cannot gain self-confidence, then the scenario for third polls it’s almost legal.

The question is what prompted the prime minister to make this report, which he had consistently avoided until May 21st.

The reasons are as follows:

1) The result itself points in that direction. The disapproval delivered by SYRIZA on May 21, and the big difference with N.D. demonstrates that Mr. Mitsotakis he has an audience that can be “pushed” into self-confidence, since that’s what the Greek people expressed in the last election, it just didn’t turn into pure self-confidence due to the “nudity” of simple proportionality.

In fact, the ND president is creating the “urgency” by posing a difficult dilemma that he says “Either ensuring independence or elections in August”. “Why not in October?” – you ask. The answer is that the country cannot stay long with an interim government, especially since Turkey has completed its elections and is already making plans for the next day.

The ND President, while accusing PASOK of non-cooperation, is urging centrist voters not to risk a period of prolonged instability.

2) Mr. Mitsotakis demands not just “independence”, but “safe independence”, that is, from 155 deputies and above. This tactic is part of the same logic of clear and complex dilemmas that arise from the events of June 25, as the formation of a minority government is no longer on the horizon.

The foregoing reflects the desire of Piraeus to rally ND voters as much as possible. dated 21 May. But since the electoral process is always unpredictable and starts from scratch, the ND president, with the clear dilemma he raised, he also addressed the voters of other parties, both to the left and to the right of ND.

3) The ND chairman, accusing PASOK of closing the door on any collaboration with the ND, addresses the centrists and asks them not to risk a period of instability and anarchy by risking changing their vote, as “N. he’s already won.”

After all, one of the biggest risks for New Democracy is that the part of it that voted for it on May 21 will think the battle is over and move on to another party.

4) The ambivalent petition for elections in August is also addressed to the right-wing ND. Mr. Mitsotakis made it clear that “I categorically rule out any collaboration with parties and factions on the right of New Democracy.”

In practice, this means that Mr. Mitsotakis appealed to the voters of the right-wing parties, who will not vote for SYRIZA at all, but probably do not want instability and adventures, “inviting” them to N.D. In the end, for Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the percentage that the right-wing parties will receive is especially important.

Even if Niki breaks the 3% threshold and enters parliament, it matters where he ends up, as the May 21 elections showed that this area can “pull” votes from New Democracy.
