The insignificant occasion – as it is interpreted even within PASOK – that the party’s leadership was looking for to break down her relationship with Koumoundourou And to end any discussion of the progressive forces a day after Nikos Androulakis’ departure for the US. Harilaou Trikoupi reacted too much to a political comment by SYRIZA’s parliamentary spokesman Nikos Pappas, which largely hinted that some forces within PASOK prevent his president from agreeing to a political dialogue with the rest of the progressive parties. He could also photograph Anna Diamantopoulou.
But asking for the deletion of a leading executive of another political party as a “abuser” because he said his opinion of a political choice is not common, were commented on by the opposition.
Those who know how PASOK’s president thinks believe that he was not disturbed by the irony Pappas in relation to Androulakis’s ability in mathematics (the sum of the parties will reduce their strengths and their audience) but by finding that someone does not tell him. But this may also be the question for Nikos Androulakis. To cut every bridge of communication with the other progressive forces.
The tension in relations with Koumoundourou facilitates PASOK’s leadership in avoiding any discussion or even a question of a future coincidence. As well as the invitations made by Mr Famellou’s latest for the formation of a common ballot paper.
Cooperation questions are constant and monopolize public discussions while Nikos Androulakis wants to escape this agenda. So the conflict with SYRIZA creates conditions to stop any discussion of progressive cooperation.
The annoyance of Harilaou Trikoupi, however, is also exacerbated by polls. At the same time that Nikos Androulakis lit the green light from New York to call for the deletion of Pappas yet another Interview poll highlighted a second party in the polls of Freedom, leaving PASOK in third place. Nikos Androulakis commented in his latest interview that the polls may show losses but the real percentages of his party remain the same.
And here comes the big bet for PASOK. Increasing its real percentages and claim the first in the elections, a goal that at the moment seems almost impatient. Where does he place his hopes? The belief that the PASOK government program will touch large population groups that will find that they are identified with the proposals of the movement.
For example, for the housing policy for which it starts first digital campaign with personal stories, while in a few days PASOK’s positions will be presented at a special event in Athens. “We are now making this plan now, the program that will throw Mitsotakis,” commented the press spokesman. For this reason, PASOK’s effort focuses on the immediate change of agenda knowing that every time other issues arise, his own targeting goes backwards.
The goal is not easy as new polls will be and there will be the question of the sympathy of progressive forces will even be raised through public measurements. The equation becomes more difficult to data in PASOK’s internal confrontations than in the way with the overall strategy of the party.
