SYRIZA on the counterattack – Shots against PASOK and New Left

A trench battle unfolds on the way to the June 9 polls with SYRIZA to proceed with the counterattack both against the government and against PASOK and the New Left.

In Koumoundourou, they are talking about consecutive orchestrated attacks by Megaros Maximos against Stefanos Kasselakis, which highlight their concern for the impact the SYRIZA president has on society.

Official Opposition officers “see” in fact an attempt to revive the “anti-SYRIZA” front with the assistance of PASOK and the New Left, as well as the two parties falling significantly behind as they note.

“We searched in vain to find even a reaction from the parties of the so-called center-left after the statement of the MP of New Democracy, Takis Theodorikakos, who in his interview on the radio station “Parapolitika” emphasized that he would like the far-right voters of the Spartans to strengthen his party Mr. Mitsotakis in the European elections.

Both PASOK and the New Left seem to have spent so much energy dealing with SYRIZA that they did not have the courage to comment on the government MP. Or they may simply have once again tried to protect their ally, as genuine crutches. Repeated coincidence, it ceases to be a coincidence…” SYRIZA characteristically said in a statement, pointing the shots at the two opposition parties.

In fact, the staff of Koumoundourou estimate that “Maximos has realized that Stefanos Kasselakis is the de facto opponent of Mitsotakis, so we will see a lot”, they characteristically commented, and stated that they are ready.

The new focus of confrontation also came with an occasion the statements of Vassilis Kasselakis, SYRIZA MEP candidate, for the votes of the Spartans that neither more nor less are welcome. He signaled immediately alarm in Koumoundourou as he was outside the party line with information that there was communication with the candidate asking him to reform.

After all, the president of SYRIZA was clear in his post where, after characterizing ND as a “potpourri of the Right and Far Right”, he emphatically repeated the statement that SYRIZA is not interested in the votes of the Spartans.

“Neo-Nazi voters are none of our business. He is outside the world, culture and values ​​of SYRIZA”, was his characteristic phrase.

At the same time in Koumoundourou, they estimate that the ND fell alone into the trap he tried to set for SYRIZA, as Takis Theodorikakos irreparably exposed his party, thus canceling Maximos’ attempt to “provoke” Mr. Kasselakis.

Kasselakis in Samos and Chios today

Until Holy Monday, the president of SYRIZA will be on a tour of the Aegean islands. Today he will be in Samos and Chios. Yesterday he toured Leros, Agathonisi, Patmos, Arkios and Ikaria. During his talks with the residents, the citizens focus on the problems they face, with the dominant one being punctuality but also the lack of infrastructure.

The president of SYRIZA emphasized that the government has forgotten the islanders, while he added that the islands cannot be a place of visit for politicians only once every four years. He also had the opportunity to develop his positions in support of insularity.

But he also sent the political messages ahead of the European elections, noting that “the political overturn is in the hands of all Greeks, starting with the movement that is being built with the protagonists themselves”.

“The prime minister is afraid of Kasselakis”

However, on the occasion of the Prime Minister’s interview with SKAI, sources from Koumoundourou commented that “the Prime Minister admitted in his own way that he fears Stefanos Kasselakis as his only opponent, precisely because the president of SYRIZA has a well-organized and wide-ranging plan for progressive change”.

They emphasized that “the fact that Mr. Mistotakis hastened to lower the bar himself to the 33% that ND got in the 2019 European elections, is highly indicative of the “vertigo” he has fallen into. On the day that Financial Times analyze in detail why Greece will soon become the poorest country in Europe, we would recommend Mr. Mitsotakis to look again at the triptych Beginning-Middle-End…”.
