What do the “blue” polls find for Stefanos Kasselakis and where does he seem to be getting votes ahead of the Eurocalp battle?
The answer is interesting as, according to the information, it states that the Maximos Palace, in the rolling measurements it reads, finds Stefanos Kasselakis and SYRIZA “tied” between 16% and 17% and with an upward trend. The “blue” staff in fact, based on the same information, they consider that the case of second place in favor of Koumoundourou has been clarified. And this since they find PASOK further behind, with Harilaou Trikoupi moving in the zone of 12% to 13%.
Studying the characteristics from the rolling measurements, the “camp” of Maximos, as the information says, reads that SYRIZA maintains its momentum in terms of the voters who have chosen him, losing, however, a part of them who now declare that they do not vote for anything and a smaller one that appears to be led by and choose smaller parties of the Left.
The interesting element, however, is the new reservoirs that Kasselakis and SYRIZA seem to be attracting on the way to the European elections. And this is because it seems to be adding to Koumoundourou, winning an electorate, from young people, from women, from those who did not vote in the last national elections but also from “non-politicized” who seem to prefer the image and influence, through social media, of Stefanos Kasselakis on the political chessboard. The people from these pools of voters even declare that they will go to vote on the Sunday of the Eurocalp. The question that comes in here, however, is whether this is confirmed in practice with this electorate finally going to the polls.
The “bet” of Kasselakis
In any case, after last Friday’s central presentation, the SYRIZA European ballot paper bears the stamp of Stefanos Kasselakis. And this from the moment almost all the candidates were elected from the base through the innovative process of the primary elections and only 5 people were chosen by the party president. For Koumoundourou, it is clear that the profile of the 42 people who make up the party’s European ballot paper matches, if not coincides with, the brand of the new SYRIZA as defined by Kasselakis with clear references to society and its needs.
In other words, it is a “bet” by the president of SYRIZA, mainly due to the way he chose to highlight the “elect” of the European elections. Inside, that is, from the unprecedented way of the qualifying process. A “bet” that won in the first year as more than 63,000 voters voted in the internal party elections for the nomination of MEP candidates.
The European ballot with which SYRIZA will enter the battle of the European elections, in any case, looks complete, if not complete. A European ballot in which persons of different origins coexist, with a low age requirement, with exemplary “excellence”, Kasselakis characterized it as the “ballot of Progressive excellence”, people with parchments, with a political past, but also recognition.
Another “bet” was the personal choice of Stefanos Kasselakis for the five persons who would complete the SYRIZA Eurolist. The five choices of the president himself seem to have pleasantly surprised everyone who attended the presentation of the MEP candidates. And this from the moment that Kasselakis chose five persons of known prestige, wanting to indicate in a clear way that he himself puts the center of gravity of the battle of the European elections, who he chooses and how he will proceed on the road to the European elections.
