Harilaou Trikoupi’s poor democratic performance is now the daily topic of discussion between his executives PASOKseeing their party be trapped in a peculiar derby for second place with Zoe Konstantopoulou’s party.
After last autumn’s positive momentum, the bar had been high and involved in claiming victory in the next national elections, but a series of wrong movements again led PASOK to a downward track to all gallop. The climate today, inside the party, shows that the mental distance between leadership and in -party opposition executives is the biggest wound for the opposition party, as it was found by the statements of Odysseus Konstantinopoulos.
The Vice President of the House has recently tried to describe the real issue for PASOK: that there is neither homosexuality on the basis, nor a willingness to conclude the way leadership decisions, which leads to a lack of common path and strategy.
With the “weapon rather than a foot” the intra -party opposition
To in -party opposition They consider that “the road that walks PASOK is not the right one”, while the warmest claims that the threat of deletion does not prevent them from expressing their opinion – since especially, that they feel that they cannot formulate it at organ meetings. Experienced executives consider, for example, that any announcements of reconstruction and enlargement should have been implemented in an earlier and more appropriate time and not when PASOK began to experience the Downhill Downhill for the third time since 2021showing significant voter leaks to other parties.
The same executives, however, point out that they have decided to keep low tones because: First they do not want to charge leadership’s undermining movements and secondly they do not seek to participate in what PASOK is trapping in the poll. Even only for the sake of personal “survival”, current MPs systematically avoid publicly expressing their disagreements, knowing that otherwise they may create misconceptions in the common constituency.
There are, of course, executives who do not “expect” the candidates and opponents of Mr. Androulakis In recent intra -party ballots, to pull the “lid” from the “boiling cauldron” with their public interventions. Arcadia MP is one of them, since a few days After the deletion of Katerina Batzeli It has shown – the need for corrective changes, strategy, communication and persons, in order for PASOK to return, without delay, to an upward trajectory.
Ulysses Constantinopoulos
Mr Constantinopoulos, as he said a few days ago, is not lost, “it is enough for PASOK to make a serious opposition, to have an alternative and at the same time to launch a dialogue in the progressive space on how the government can be the next day.” In this phrase, he essentially attempted to stand against the opposition model followed by Zoe Konstantopoulou and at the same time to tell Harilaou Trikoupi that the joint actions (such as the distrust proposal) with the sailing of freedom did not do good in PASOK’s image. And what he did not fail to point out was that he would not stop expressing his views for fear of deletion.
In a “Odysseus climate” it seems that other executives, parliamentary and not, from various trends. They believe that Nikos Androulakis is playing a “closed game” and that by “canceling” the operation of the elected bodies with the formation of the political center failed to give the venture dynamic.
“I can’t hide you that I think the political center has not achieved its goals. Since the day it has been selected and met, PASOK has lost 10 points, ”says the Vice President of the House of Representatives for the informal body in which Messrs. Doukas, Geroulanos, Anna Diamantopoulou and executives of Harilaou Trikoupi. And he adds: “To be in the political center all the trends, that doesn’t say anything. We do not make the instruments to put our friends. We put those who really can. “
The question of the possible undermining of leadership by the “dissidents” the answer given by the message of the message is that “undermining is a great invention for leaders or leaders to be justified for the negative results”. And the truth is that in PASOK first started (from November onwards) the recording of the downward trend in gallop and then the moan began and the fire was rekindled in half -party intra -party homes.
The climate was burdened by a series of negative events, by the hot episode of Androulakis-Liakoulis in the parliamentary group, the attempt to exclude Haris Kastanidis from a party event in Thessaloniki and Philip Sachinidis by the former Council of Larissa (Larissa). Former Minister Christos Pachta. Four PASOK executives from Halkidiki, including former MP Anna Katsarou, in a letter to the leadership, strongly protested Mr Pachta’s exploitation in the field of development, noting that his name was added back to the list. Some reports also indicate that the “addition” was made with the pause of the responsible political planning Anna Diamantopoulou following the expression of interest by the former minister. The signatories of the letter of protest ask Mr Androulakis the revocation of the decision, describing in harsh words the course of Mr Pachtas and emphasize in the conclusion that “otherwise, we reserve the further collective and institutional actions”.
Anna Diamantopoulou
Anna Diamantopoulou maintains a key role in Harilaou Trikoupi and is in close collaboration with Nikos Androulakis, does not “abandon” her opinion when she disagrees, as she showed Odysseus Konstantinopoulos in the movement of errors to be corrected.
He does through Greece (sometimes in the capacity of PASOK executives, sometimes as head of the network) tours and tries to keep open bridges with representatives of all trends. Specifically, in particular to comment on the spikes of Odysseus Constantinopoulos, he appeared against the logic of deletions. He has- noted- the second most important office in the party, that of the Vice President in the House and all his observations and proposals are in the right direction when he does them so that PASOK can do better. “
Anna Diamantopoulou (Political Planning Officer) and Pavlos Geroulanos (the first parliamentary spokesman) will now be in the discussions of Harilaou Trikoupi’s “morning coffee”. Nikos Androulakis’ close associates participate in the “Breakfast Cafe” meetings, such as Stefania Mourelatou (Director of Communication), Press Spokesman Costas Tsoukalas, Party Secretary, Andreas Spyropoulos Droulias, Mara Koukoudaki Ms. Outside of “morning coffee” will be the mayor of Athens and a member of the Political Center, Haris Doukas who had openly disagreed with the logic of executives.
The informal body, the political center, had gained low speeds anyway, since it has been meeting more and more recently- the elected political council has been meeting for a year. The next move is to “abolish” the Political Council and to be replaced by the Central Conference Organizing Committee (KOI), which will be headed by PASOK’s trusted associate, Yiannis Vardakastanis. And the regional conferences (except for Thessaly and possibly Crete) will not take place at the time they were planned. They will be postponed to Autumn, which means that the basic conference of the party may be not in October but with the new year.
