Can the government to communicatively want to downgrade the interview of Antonis Samaras and that he did not directly confront the former prime minister, but this does not mean that the Maximos Palace does not proceed with most of the open fronts that “force” the government. THE Kyriakos Mitsotakis given these facts, he has decided to get into the frame as much as he can, to promote the government’s achievements and to proceed with a strategy of “deliverables”.
In this climate, senior government source on the sidelines of yesterday’s event of the Union of Greek Shipowners at the Athens Conservatory he characteristically commented “we stick to the positives, we leave the negativity yesterday”. An indirect, but clear nail for the spirit of Mr. Samaras’ interview.
In this spirit, Mr. Mitsotakis is visiting today Rhodope. There he is expected to visit its natural gas compression station DESFAbut also the one under construction general hospital of Komotiniwith a clear message that the government supports the region and especially the critical areas in action and not in words.
Certainly, Mr. Mitsotakis is not unlikely to find himself confronted with the tractors of farmers of Evros, who take a position outside of “Demokritos” airport in Alexandroupoliwhere the Prime Minister coming from Athens is expected to land. The rural agitations since November and the effervescence in the primary sector due to the delay in de facto payments are testing its relations New Republic with rural areas, although government officials estimate that in the coming weeks there will be decompression through payments for basic support.
Livestock breeders and farmers, however, are arriving today in Athens, where they are planning a mobilization outside the Ministry of Rural Development. The minister is expected to welcome them Kostas Tsiaraswhile then they will stage a protest outside the OKAY and they will end up at the vice-presidency of the government, at Megaro Bodosakis, in order to deliver a protest resolution, but without meeting Kostis Hatzidakis for a long time.
The government’s message is that payments will be made at the end of Novemberalthough the case of OPEKEPE looks like a… torture of the drop, if one weighs the information about a second case file that is ante portas with the report of government officials and parliamentarians of the ND.
The “thorn” of ELTA
As for the front of the ELTAit may seem that spirits have calmed down and a dialogue at the local level is imminent, but the problem remains. ELTA is asked to proceed with restructuring, which also entails closing the stores.
The political “massage” has been undertaken by the Minister of Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakiswho has already started contacts with blue MPs. For days now, there has been intense rumor in the ranks of K.O. of the ND that a question about the Super fundalthough it seems that it is sought not to create a political issue, in which case the managing director of the Superfund may eventually be summoned Yannis Papachristou to inform the Parliament in a coordinated process.
And the future of Samara
The former prime minister is added to this equation of problems for Megaros Maximos Antonis Samaraswho leaves everything open for party creation. Some take it for granted, while yesterday Professor Meletis Meletopoulos from the Movement of 91 revealed (Alpha 9.89) that relevant appointments have been made with the former prime minister in this direction.
Others, however, are of the opinion that Mr. Samaras will not rush, but will continue to pressure the government in an attempt to wear down Kyriakos Mitsotakis, even if in the end he does not “press the button”. However, his contacts with several ND executives, as well as from other Right-wing parties, are a given.
In any case, the Maximus Palace officially chooses not to answer, though Pavlos Marinakis yesterday was placed by deconstructing the “Semitic hybrid”. “Certainly our policy has made the country much better and this policy is a policy based on the principles and values of the ND and at the same time on the healthy aspirations of the silent majority of the citizens”, underlined the government representative, while the Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Gerapetritis who has been targeted by Mr. Samaras said that “hostility and intolerance, on other levels, can be negative. In foreign policy, it is definitely disastrous for the country.”
