The late Andreas Papandreou was talking about the Contract with the People.
Today Alexis Tsipras talks about the Contract with Change.
How much more copying!
Didn’t they learn their lesson there in Koumoundourou?
No matter how much Alexis Tsipras tries to imitate Andreas in his voice, movements and nomenclature, Andreas cannot.
Andreas Papandreou was one and only.
Those who go to imitate him
I am writing this on the occasion of the “Contract for Change” presented yesterday by SYRIZA and which referred to the potential programmatic cooperation of the progressive forces.
Koumoundourou once again used words that are strongly associated with PASOK and its voters.
Aiming where else?
In the disappearance of PASOK.
Because this is the only way (he thinks) that he will raise rates…
What you got, you got
They bill without the hotelier.
Because they got what they had to get from PASOK.
Opportunists and non-opportunists who did not respect history and struggles were taken by SYRIZA.
Today those who stayed in PASOK, this 8-10% are simply PASOK
And the 3% party doesn’t play tricks, no matter how hard they try
Why SYRIZA 3% was and remains.
The remaining percentage are simply passing opportunists.
Who will do it at the first opportunity.
There are procedures
Otherwise, Tsipras’s statement about what will happen (essentially what he will do) if his party loses the elections was interesting.
“There are procedures in the party” he answered.
Anyone who hears this for the first time and does not know the ins and outs of SYRIZA may think that Alexis Tsipras will suffer from the evaluation of his party and it is very likely that it will be judged that the fullness of time has come.
And leave with your head held high. For political reasons.
Um isn’t that so…
He has his ass tied up
It’s not like that because he has his ass tied up.
Since the presidentialists in the last congress have a clear majority over the other movements like “Umbrella” for example.
Really?
He completely controls the party.
Means…
That whatever internal party evaluation is done, he will come out first.
Even then?
And have no doubt that even if he loses both election contests.
Those of May and July…
If Mr. Tsipras does not want to leave the leadership of the party, he will not leave. So simple.
Because no power can drive him away.
Given that there is no measurable internal party force in SYRIZA.
A matter of political ethics
Will you tell me how it is possible to stand?
To have lost in four consecutive election contests against Kyriakos(!!!) and not hand over his seat to someone else?
European and National elections of 2019 and the elections to come. May and July.
If he loses, of course. Let’s not rush either.
In any case, everything points to this. Defeat.
Then what will happen?
It is a question of political ethics for Mr. Tsipras what he will do.
If he will resign or if he will remain in his position.
I think that’s where they’re going
In any case, the Syrians are aware of their upcoming consecutive defeats but at the same time they have also laid out his plan.
We are going to self-governing elections next October where a collaboration with PASOK can ease the pain from the recent electoral defeats.
Given that they will win many municipalities. It takes such a breather…
The discussion about the elections may be limited mainly to the national elections, however, apart from them, there are also the European elections that will take place in 2024.
So if Mr. Tsipras loses again, for the fifth time, then out of shame alone he will ask for a change of leadership in SYRIZA.
Since the next national election contest will take place in three years…
Come on two and a half…
He will have chances…
You will tell me, however, at the end of the second Mitsotakis term there are many chances for a change.
Mr. Tsipras will therefore leave the presidential chair knowing that this prospect exists.
To tell you the truth, I am capable of everything.
Here, for some time without shame or shame, he tried to imitate Andreas Papandreou in his speech…
Don’t have any hesitations and moral political barriers to stay in the leadership and try again after 4 years of failure and return to power.
