The Maximos Palace and the ND are in full electoral order, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis systematizing his targeted visits inside and outside of Attica, while all the top executives of the ruling party, ministers and MPs will gradually enter the game. After all, from his last tour to Agios Dimitrios, Mr. Mitsotakis conjured up relaxation and pointed out that citizens should not take the June 9 ballot without hesitation.
In a battle with national characteristics, therefore, no one is left out of the battle. Already, on Friday, the Electoral Campaign committee of the New Democracy held a meeting, while on Saturday morning a closed meeting was held at the Maximos Palace with the participation of the American strategist Stan Greenberg. And today, however, Mr. Mitsotakis will continue with the excursions, going after the “morning coffee” to Rentis, in order to visit the Vegetable Market.
Immediately afterwards, the prime minister convenes a meeting with top ministers at the ND offices, as he is going to assign them responsibility for regions on the way to the European elections. The ministers will be invited to make tours, alone or in groups, while they will also act as “links” with the Maximos Palace.
The march sheets
Based on the information of protothema.gr, 12 ministers are enlisted in the electoral battle. The Minister of National Defense Nikos Dendias will be in charge of Central Macedonia, for obvious reasons. Responsible for Western Macedonia will be the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis, who already started his contacts over the weekendwhile Christos Staikouras is intended for Eastern Macedonia-Thrace.
Finance Minister Kostis Hatzidakis will be recruited in Thessaly, in Epirus the Minister of Development Kostas Skrekas, in Central Greece the Minister of Social Cohesion and Family Sofia Zaharakis, in the Peloponnese the Minister of State Makis Voridis and in Western Greece the Minister of Rural Development Lefteris Avgenakis. In the islands, Labor Minister Domna Michailidou is expected to take charge of the Aegean islands, Cyclades and Dodecanese, Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogiannis the Ionian Islands and Immigration Minister Dimitris Kairidis the Northern Aegean islands. Education Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis will be in Crete.
It is open what will happen with Attiki, where no “Attikarchis” has been appointed, as the logic is to have a centralized management by the party. There is, however, a scenario where Mr. Mitsotakis makes last-minute changes to the definitions. In any case, as a competent blue source put it on protothema.gr, “we should all get our feet wet in such an important electoral battle”.
The invitation to parliamentarians
In addition to the ministers, however, the party’s deputies who will staff the “blue” echelons, which are expected to “sweep” all the prefectures of the country, will enter the game, especially in May. In this regard, this afternoon the MPs of the prefectures of Aegean and June, who are not ministers, will be in Maximos, while at noon on Wednesday the MPs of the ND have been summoned from the prefectures of Peloponnese, Western Greece and Epirus, in order to there was a discussion about their pre-election moves. Deputies from other regions are expected to receive a similar invitation in the next period, as the goal of the ND is to fully mobilize the party organization in the next period. In a loose ballot box, such as the European elections, after all, especially since they are not combined with self-governing elections like 2014 and 2019, parties that can mobilize effectively have a comparative advantage.
