Far from the goal of a wave of bilateral enlargement is still moving Harilaou Trikoupi, while the accession of former PASOK minister, Andrea Loverdou to New Democracy It is causing strong discussions within the party to re -establish the center in the march to the elections.
Although many in PASOK characterize an expected development Mr Loverdos’ integration into the government faction – Thus wanting to downgrade its integration into the government line- the truth is that several party executives were looking for the “line” of response to New Democracy for hours, which through the exploitation of the former “green” minister is trying to develop bridges to them. voters of PASOK.
On the contrary, the business of bilateral enlargement by PASOKdespite some first cowardly moves it seems to be delayed. Since last spring there have been thoughts on setting up an enlargement committee under experienced executive Kostas Skandalidis, but this has not yet happened.
At the same time inside the party, some consider it necessary The direct approach of the center voters, where the New Democracy is targeting Others are in favor of a brave opening in the center -left, and in the frustrated SYRIZA voters, predicting that the possible party by Alexis Tsipras will make the political environment even more competitive and rough.
The conference
In any case, the more general bet of enlargement has not yet been described in a formal manner, but it sounds strongly that it will be done within the context of Conference of the party that had been announced by last year’s intra -party ballots but remains in the pending cases of Harilaou Trikoupi.
New information says that the conference in search of the central “line” will be held shortly, perhaps in November- its close associates Nikos Androulakis They do not deny it, but executives of the political center (which meets less and less) emphasize that no mention was made by Mr. Androulakis in his latest public interventions, such as from the TIF Step, when he was asked, for example, how he “sees” the post -election partnerships.
The conversation about whether PASOK should turn to the center or the center -left, however, seems to be “lighting up” and on the occasion of Andrea Loverdou’s accession to the New Democracy. OR Harilaou Trikoupi It raises dividing lines by fiercely attacking the New Democracy, on the “strategic opponent”, but some green executives insist that even the “harames” must be closed in the most clear way for a possible post -election cooperation with the New Democracy. Other “comrades” do not want to hear about possible cooperation with forces around SYRIZA or Alexis Tsipras, which is shown in most gallop.
Concerning yesterday’s announcements of the accession to the New Democracy of Andrea Loverdos and executives from the party with which he went down to the European elections, by the “Democrats”, comments from PASOK were derogatory and derogatory and had the final recipient of the Prime Minister: PASOK, organizing the illegal espionage, welcomed Mr Loverdos today, “they said yesterday from Harilaou Trikoupi, and noted that:” In 2023, after his non -election, Mr Loverdos left PASOK, in 2024 he founded a party before the Euro election and the second. the government and supporting its miserable unconstitutional approaches. Obviously, Mr Mitsotakis, it’s time to redeem. “
Spikes from Duke
With indirect spikes to Harilaou Trikoupis, he was placed on the occasion of the Loverdos issue Harris Duke. The mayor of Athens and a member of the Political Center implied that PASOK has not yet expressed a pure political discourse in order to repel the rationales of binding in the New Democracy.
It was obviously a first “signal” to Nikos Androulakis in view of the conference, where the proposals for the election dilemmas will be discussed in detail. “His rationales at all costs and without a ballast of government have plagued our space for many years. It is the rationales of the powers that they wanted and want PASOK crutch and watch by Mr Mitsotakis and ND, “Mr Doukas points out, adding that:” PASOK as an expression of the progressive space must be against conservative policy. That is why we must be actively dwelling on the dangerous rhetoric of “volatility” that emanates from Maximus and aimed at the Central Left tradition to K. Mitsotakis. Autonomy is in line with a clear political identity. ” The country- Haris Doukas- emphasizes the end- does not need a government that will continue on the same devastating path but for a change of direction, with PASOK at the forefront. Otherwise the phenomena of depreciation, aversion and abstinence from politics will be strengthened and pave the way for dangerous populism. “
