With the scenarios for the next day they are over, although Harilaou Trikoupi argues that all … roads lead to PASOK’s victory “even with a vote difference from the New Democracy”, PASOK is moving towards the decisive national elections, and there are two more and more every day.
As for the latter, the dialogue between Duke and Diamantopoulou on the sidelines of Art Athina 2025 in Zappeion was characteristic. “We are the two souls of PASOK,” said Haris Doukas, to answer PASOK’s head of political planning: “Do you want to become one?”
Mr Doukas simply smiled and somewhere there, according to this witnesses, ended the debate that the two candidates for PASOK’s leadership had for quite some time in 2024.
Concerning the integration of Andrea Loverdos in ND, Harilaou Trikoupi will not avoid the poisonous comments, though many executives are of the opinion that … leaks of others … lover to ND. It will be avoided if PASOK is devoted to reinforcing its government at every opportunity.
In addition to “leaks”, however, Harilaou Trikoupi also notes “returns”, mainly medium -sized PASOKogenic executives who had joined SYRIZA – in fact, at the party’s conference, there will be a broader call to everyone in the logic of cooperation on the basis of the program.
Low expectations
The distance of about 14 percentage points from the New Democracy lead is currently limiting the particularly optimistic forecasts and keeps the expectations low, although Harilaou Trikoupi attempts by the TIF to raise the bar, promoting “scenes” from future government cooperation.
However, in the latest gallop, PASOK continues to record a significant proportion of negative opinions for its opposition tactics, while Nikos Androulakis in the appropriateness of prime minister “writes” single -digit percentages, performance similar to Kyriakos Velopoulos and Zoe.
Given that under the electoral law, the first party is what wins the seats, if PASOK comes second in the polls, its role may become regulatory, either confirming the statement of “no” to become a government partner of the ND, which is preceded by ND, of “leaks” voters to the winner, other opposition parties or abstention.
Experiences with election experiences want to believe that PASOK will reach the polls with enhanced forces, but do not exclude the adverse scenario: to find itself in an extremely competitive environment and in the regime – for example – of a pre -election “dibet” of the center -left.
It is certain that PASOK begins and clarifies the landscape about possible post -election collaborations. Following the leadership and spokesman Costas Tsoukalas, he made sure to reiterate yesterday that “political change with the New Democracy in government cannot be done – there is no field of cooperation with the New Democracy”.
The “neither Mitsotakis nor Tsipras” of 2023 seems to remain halfway, as Mr Androulakis closed the door only to the government. On the contrary, with the phrase “anyone who agrees with the ” Gospel ”, that is, with the PASOK program, we may come to discuss” he implied that bridges are opened to some opposition forces, excluding, as they have said, the navigation.
In the first phase, the Harilaou Trikoupi describes the context of an informal cooperation, with “rehearsals” inside and outside the House and “occasion” their proposals to the world of labor for the 13th salary in the public and collective agreements in the private sector, to the central space, speaking to the new and rehearsals. Over -taxation of SYRIZA and they saw this government finally over -taxed. “
Inside PASOK, not everyone sees a positive discussion of possible collaborations with SYRIZA in his various … versions – after all, there are two “speeds” the answers they give and their voters to the question. Indicative of the prevailing climate is the statement of Harry Doukas, which seems to often express a specific trend in PASOK that disagrees with the possibility of collaborations with ND. and proposes consultation with the center -left forces.
Anna Diamantopoulou, who has a resonance at the center, is criticized in the New Democracy, which has given two successive big victories to Kyriakos Mitsotakis in 2019 and 2023.
Ms. Diamantopoulou, with a modernizing and reform profile, is said to be trying to be a powerful reference point for central voters, arguing that Mitsotakis policy is “supposedly reform”. The severity of the attack on Andrea Loverdos, who accused him of his accession to ND, did not go unnoticed. with the “reminder” that he was twice a candidate for PASOK.
