A peculiar battle about who will be Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ main political opponent is giving PASOK. Against the desire of Maximus the Grand to determine at times either his institutional interlocutor or his political opponent The opposition party wants to win Nikos Androulakis for the role of Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ central opponent.
Harilaou Trikoupi could claim this role in previous months when Zoe Konstantopoulou and her party in second place has always been through the polls with the PASOK president. But he did not believe that the rapid rise in the rates of the cruise freedom was convenient and that Mrs Konstantopoulou’s bending was merely a matter of time. Partially confirmed. But now PASOK shows other reflexes to a potential central opponent of Mr Mitsotakis on the road to the elections. The inaction shown by PASOK in Mrs Konstantopoulou’s ejecting gave way to alert for Alexis Tsipras’ active return. and the probability of public opinion measurements of making that main opponent of the prime minister.
It is a fact that a new political body under the former prime minister would obviously change the arrangement of the forces on the political scene and primarily in the progressive center. Yet Maximus’ tendency to display Alexis Tsipras as the main opponent of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is an element that is particularly concerned about the leadership of the opposition party. since it de facto restricts the political space. The reflexes were activated when Mr Mitsotakis himself decided to comment on Mr Tsipras’ request to release the minutes of the July 2015 Council of Political Leaders, speaking derogatoryly about the SYRIZA government that led to the Prime Minister. The answer came instantly from Tsipras, and for the first time with personal references to Kyriakos Mitsotakis and who is … soaked in finding PASOK to embarrass a dialogue between the former and today’s Prime Minister. The… icing on the cake for Harilaou Trikoupi were the leaks of the Maximus Grand itself since the following hours of the conflict that Kyriakos Mitsotakis chose an opponent: Alexis Tsipras.
It was the moments that forced PASOK to open a two -way way and take a position on the controversy over the July 2015 events with commentary on Alexis Tsipras’ intention to “rewrite the story” at a time when everyone, according to the opposition, knew he “played the country”.
It is oxymoron, but the tactic of the Maximus Grand to attack the former prime minister has caused Harilaou Trikoupi’s annoyance located at a focal point in relation to the next national match. Many believe that the OPEKEPE scandal was a good opportunity for PASOK to open its democratic walk and increase its percentages by launching the new political season from September and then with new political air. Therefore Mr Mitsotakis ‘intention to choose an opponent as analyzing it in PASOK shows a willingness to remove the dynamics of Harilaou Trikoupi and at the same time a tendency to “formalize” Alexis Tsipras’ return. of course to win him in the next polls.
Such a development, however, would cause great political deterioration to both Nikos Androulakis and the opposition party with the risk of attacking PASOK and Maximus responding to Tsipras!
The concern in the wider environment of Harilaou Trikoupi became more intense after the party’s “present” on the government’s amendment to asylum, of a decision that for many even today is unexplained And it shows a leadership’s willingness to distance itself from SYRIZA, but steps to the New Democracy …
