European elections 2024: In the “trenches” government and SYRIZA for the Spartans

The exclusion of the Spartans from the descent into the European elections, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, finds the government and SYRIZA in the “trenches”…

Megaro Maximou directly accuses Koumoundourou of “fishing” for votes in the murky waters of the extreme right, while bets are taking and giving as to where the “orphaned” votes of Vassilis Stiga’s Spartans party will go ahead of the European elections.

“Fires” were lit by Stiga’s “flatteries” for SYRIZA.

The atmosphere was dynamized early yesterday afternoon, and before the decision of the Justice, the warm words of the President of the Spartans about SYRIZA.

“SYRIZA must also say this, because I am not afraid, it has dignity with Kasselakis who did not submit a memorandum, it has dignity and that is good,” said Vasilis Stigas from the floor of the Parliament, causing the immediate response of the Government.

“Today he convinced even the most skeptical. Some, unfortunately, prefer to “fish” for votes in murky waters than to defend our Republic with actions”, said the Government Spokesperson, Pavlos Marinakis.

“Many wondered why SYRIZA could not find a courtroom for 4.5 years to try the case of the criminal organization Golden Dawn. Why didn’t he vote for the controversial amendment we tabled in 2023. Why didn’t he submit a memorandum in the parliamentary elections. Why did he submit a “text – declaration” for the participation of the Spartans in the European elections, after the relevant deadline had passed”, added Mr. Marinakis meaningfully.

P. Marinakis: “Similarities between Spartans and SYRIZA”

In fact, the Government Spokesperson, in an interview at Open, also spoke of similarities in the rhetoric of the Spartans with that of “some SYRIZA executives”, pointing to Pavlos Polakis.

“Rhetoric, I say it again, I’m not talking about criminal actions… The extreme right and the extreme left are often identified. They are often identified. But, half a minute. Threatening to jail your political opponents, that “I will put you two meters under the ground”doesn’t it remind you of something?”, the Government Spokesperson pointedly stated.

The… “bets”

In the “wells” of the Parliament, after the announcement of the decision of the Supreme Court to block the descent of the Spartans in the European elections – in which it is pointed out that the real leader of the party is the one convicted of directing the criminal organization Golden Dawn, Ilias Kasidiaris – it did not go unnoticed that the Hellenic Solution primarily, but also Niki, avoided positioning themselves centrally.

Many “bet” that the parties to the right of the N.D. they will focus their campaign strategy on reaching out to Spartan voters.

Awaiting the decision of the Electoral Court

The same time, the time for the Electoral Court’s decision also counts backwardsfollowing appeals filed on the legality of the Spartan party’s participation in Parliament.

The decision was not taken at the last meeting, however it is estimated that it is a matter of days for the Supreme Court to decide whether the MPs of the party in question will be removed from the parliamentary office.

In this case, it is considered elections are likely to be repeated in the districts where the Spartans’ deputies were elected. It is a scenario that seems to be gaining ground, as it is estimated that it is possible that the parties will not accept to receive their seats without the popular verdict.
