High Requirements Bet is for the top executives of PASOK Their election to the next national ballot box. Last November, when PASOK touched 20% on pollsthe decision of the descend Harilaou Trikoupi It records its highest rates. Now, the poor recovery that the party has shown in the latest measurements after a democratically devastating winter is heralded a “martyrdom of the drop” – mainly for candidates in the basin where PASOK is still lagging behind the nationwide.
In the game of candidates the MPs is re -entered Anna Diamantopoulouwhich was originally elected in 1996 in Kozani, then (after her term as a Commissioner in the EU) in 2004 as a Member of State and in 2007 and 2009 in the 1st Athens.
Her political friends, examining the various scenarios, argue that Ms. Diamantopoulou, first, must go down with a cross and secondly, predict that she will scan in votes, securing a strong first in Thessaloniki. Reports, of course, indicate that the Political Planning Officer may be a PASOK leader’s choice for one of the two (or three) elected positions in the State or the Basin.
Against Gerulan?
For the 1st Athens and for a duel with her Paul Geroulan However, there is no mention, since the election of two “green” MPs in the area does not belong to the most possible scenarios. If headed to Thessaloniki, he will fight with the “newcomers” (by SYRIZA) to PASOK, Petros Pappas and Rania Thraskia. The possibility of former MP Haris Kastanidis’ descent remains open, although “presidential” in the area are reminiscent of his conflict with PASOK leader, who was known to keep the only headquarters of the First Thessaloniki. Former press spokesman Thanassis Glavina is already fighting in Thessaloniki.
The two MPs of State, Dimitris Mantzos and Panagiotis Doudonis, are turning to the hunt of the Cross (on the contrary, it is said that Mr. Androulakis’ trusted associate, Stephania Mourelatou, will be set in an election position of State). Mr Mantzos was heard that he was seeking his election in northern Athens, where the presence of the current MP Milena Apostolakis remains strong, and it is not excluded that another close associate of Mr Androulakis, Andreas Spyropoulos, premieres in the battle.
Thus, in front of the scenario of Mrs Apostolakis’ possible re -election, Mr Mantzos did a “research” at his place of origin in Achaia, where George Papandreou is elected (without a cross). Mr Spyropoulos is investigating his prospect of descent in the Ministry of Preveza, his mother’s place of origin (he was one of the areas he conquered the lead as a candidate for MEP). P. Doudonis will claim a seat in Lesvos against the popular community of P. Paraskevidis.
Hard derby is expected in southern Athens, if the descent of PASOK spokesman and well -known worker Costas Tsoukalas is confirmed against parliamentary spokesman Pavlos Christidis. Former MP Tonia Antoniou (one of the main supporters of Harry Duke in the leadership election) will be re -elected.
In West Athens, the elected Nadia Giannakopoulou will have a key opponent of the program coordinator and one of the close associates of PASOK leader Lefteris Karchimakis. PASOK with today’s rates is hard to make a second seat- therefore a fierce battle is foreseen for the first, unless Mr Karchimakis descends to Lasithi, where Katerina Spyridakis was first elected for the first time.
Piraeus A and Second Piraeus, as well as West Attica, are one of the high -risk areas for the “green” candidates, as PASOK has scored the lowest performance in 2023. In West Attica, however, the descent of Kostas Katsaneva, Grandenos, is discussed strongly in West Attica.
“The Battle of Crete”
The sure thing is that special emphasis will be placed on the “Battle of Crete”. In Heraklion, PASOK took out two seats – Eleni Vatsina and Francis Parasiris “occupied” Candidate Nikos Androulakis He preferred Thessaloniki. In the forthcoming elections, it is heard that three popular people will come down among other things: former Minister and MP Yiannis Kourakis, Vice -Mayor Nikos Skoulas and Vice -Mayor Nikos Syrigonakis.
PASOK’s political council member Maria Kanavakis and George Xylouris also move towards the descent. Local executives estimate that if PASOK, who received 26%in the European elections, maintains forces and “if it is not” hit “by the rise of Zoe Konstantopoulou, will secure a third seat.
In Rethymnon, Nikos Androulakis’s current MP and lover, Manolis Chnaris, has a widespread appeal, but the fermentations for the appearance of a new one in the game gives and take – the descent of Admiral and Independent MP Evangelos Apostolakis is not considered too likely. However, it sounds like Michalis Sarris (former secretary of the Prefectural Committee) will come down.
Chania is considered to be well -founded that PASOK will elect this time. Michalis Aerakis, a well -known actor from Anogia who stays in the city of Chania and has recently taken over the Department of Culture, is said to be a step ahead of the descent. The PASOK Haniots consider Nikos Kalogeris as strong paper – he is a vice -governor, he was impact in 2023, but he refused.
