In the interview he gave last week to “Vima” o Nikos Androulakis he declared sure that the day after the elections “PaSoK will be on the winning side”. The certainty automatically raised a question as to the threshold of electoral success. Where do they count from in Harilaou Trikoupi? From 7.72% of the 2019 European elections; Or from 11.84% of national elections, in June 2023?
“PaSoK, with Nikos Androulakis at its helm, has in the past achieved the goals it set. He achieved victories, recorded strong double-digit percentages and brought smiles back to the base of the party.” they answer. Therefore, the starting point of the new goal is the party’s last electoral performance.
In Harilaou Trikoupi they say that “we expect a significant increase compared to the previous national elections”
“We are waiting”they say “a noticeable increase compared to the previous national elections”. THE “noticeable rise» is the catchphrase used by party officials that sets the bar in percentage terms “greater than 12%”. With Nikos Androulakis, however, making it clear that the goal is also second place, in order to “the country acquires a strong and serious official opposition, which will be an alternative government option in the next national elections”.
Based on the latest polls, this goal is far from easy. Candidate MEPs have been called upon to plow urban centers and regions in order to achieve the jump. They shake hands and communicate the party’s positions. But above all, they constantly bring back Harilaou Trikoupi’s request for a confrontation between the political leaders.
How “the government narrative will be deconstructed”
Holding a televised debate is high on the pre-election agenda of Nikos Androulakis. And there are two reasons. The first is that in this way the political positions of the Eurogroup of the Socialists, as well as the differences they have with the rest of the political forces, will be highlighted better and more directly. “If the debate takes place, then it will be possible to discuss and analyze our proposals for the common financial tools, the Euro army, the common foreign policy and the policies that make Greece stronger. Something that Mr. Mitsotakis does not want, that is why he is hiding.” as they claim.
“Through the dialogue, it will be possible to deconstruct, in a pan-Hellenic broadcast, the government’s narrative on a series of issues that concern the everyday lives of citizens”
The second reason is that “through the dialogue, it will be possible to deconstruct, in a pan-Hellenic broadcast, the government’s narrative on a series of issues that concern the everyday lives of citizens”. Matters, that is, such as punctuality, Education, Health, social housing, but also the rule of law that was affected after the cases of the Tempe accident and wiretapping.
“It is institutionally moving away from populism”
In PaSoK they also believe that the public dialogue at the top level will favor the party that “moves institutionally and away from populism”. This is the constant strategy they follow in Harilaou Trikoupi, as they believe that this is how the modern Center-Left will gain a governing perspective.
In the same spirit, PaSoK and Holy Week will move. The program provides interventions on accuracy and the rising cost of living with field trips and campaigns. But also inside the Parliament, where the tone is expected to rise on the occasion of the debate on the change of the judicial map of the country. With PaSoK complaining that “the government brings another law with carelessness and without dialogue that will open the bag of Aeolos”.
