In Harilaou Trikoupi they read the measurements differently: “The rise in the polls of the party disturbs the government and the Kyriakos Mitsotakis» they say They also estimate that in the next period there will be “triple steps” in order for PaSoK to “stumble”. That is why they are preparing, even for those important issues that will come in 2025.

The review

The orderly functioning of the institutions is high on the agenda of PaSoK and the constitutional revision is a field of confrontation with the government. THE Nikos Androulakis has been prepared accordingly. In particular, he has given an order to Panagiotis Doudonis to set up a competent committee which will process the positions of the faction in this top parliamentary process. The constitutionalist and State Member of Parliament will talk to scientists, work with them based on the instructions given to him by the party president, so that in the event that the majority starts revising the Constitution at the beginning of next year, PaSoK will appear ready and combative inside the Parliament.

Justice, education

A high-ranking executive of Harilaou Trikoupi pointed out to “Vima” that “We are committed to submitting a proposal to change the way the leadership of the Judiciary is selected. This is a matter we need to discuss. The president of PaSoK, Nikos Androulakis, has also said this at the TIF and in many of his interviews, the choice of the leadership of the Judiciary cannot be made by the government” he said characteristically.

Also, a possible revision process of the Constitution opens up another hotbed of fierce confrontation with the New Democracy, which is education and non-state universities. “It is considered certain that the debate on Article 16 will also be opened. The PASoK will submit its own comprehensive proposal for non-state universities, with an emphasis on their non-profit nature, as it is in its program” a member of the party emphasized.

As for if and when the specific procedure will be opened, he answered how “from time to time there have been statements by top officials of the government that its intention is to start the relevant process and once the five years provided for by the previous review have been completed. December 2019 was the previous revision process and now the five years foreseen are completed. PaSoK shows once again that it is ready, serious and with an institutional understanding to correct the government’s bad texts” concluded.

The role of ADAE

The PASoK Parliamentary Group has many questions regarding the cyber security bill that the government and the Ministry of Digital Governance are bringing “in a hurry”, as they say, and they are asking for information. According to the draft law, ADAE, which is a constitutionally enshrined independent authority, will be able to receive orders from a legal entity under public law. This, as they say in PaSoK, raises serious questions about the independence and functioning of the Authority and is a cause of war.

A leading executive of Harilaou Trikoupi, who follows the matter closely, speaking to “Vima” wondered “how does a public law entity, whose administration is appointed by the government, give orders and exercise control over a constitutionally enshrined independent authority, the appointment of which requires a supermajority in the Conference of Speakers of the House” and completed by pointing out how “The Cybersecurity Authority should be able to take orders from the ADAE, which should coordinate the work and not the other way around. This particular bill should be fixed from the start” he concluded, denouncing the government for scheming and attempting to dictate the functioning of the institutions.

The work ones

Punctuality, the housing crisis, poor health services are issues that Harilaou Trikoupi highlighted in the past and will continue to highlight them with undiminished intensity.

Another issue that comes up strongly and they will raise another one in the next period is labor issues and the minimum wage. On the 27th of November, a dialogue table will be held at the initiative of PaSoK where the social partners will participate. GSEE, GSEVEE, SETE, SEVE and PaSoK will be in the same room to discuss.

“The purpose of the PASOK is to start a process that will help the workers and help to create a new social contract at the same time, to return the country to normality. Social actors must discuss with each other. They know the needs of the workers and the economy. They must co-shape the next day. That is why, as PaSoK, we are taking the initiative to do what the New Democracy does not do” a high-ranking member of the party participating in the specific process told Vima.

The rise

After 14 years, PaSoK exceeded the psychological threshold of 20% in the polls. In particular, in the latest opinion poll, in the vote estimation, he received 20.4% and his difference with New Democracy, which collected 29.8%, remained stable in single digits.

All this at a time when the neighboring party of SYRIZA registered only 6.6% and recently added another split within it. At the same time, Nikos Androulakis is first in popularity with 45%, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis following with 40.1% and Dimitris Koutsouba to follow with 40%.

Readiness

In Harilaou Trikoupi they are well aware that this trend can continue and bear government fruit, but only with hard work and effort from everyone. That is why there is no complacency. Instead, they are preparing now for the battles to come in the near future.

«After the smooth and unifying internal party process, as well as the highlighting of problems with proposals and substantiated discourse, it has been imprinted in the collective subconscious that PaSoK is today the dominant opposition pole and at the same time constitutes a reliable government alternative proposal” a top executive told “Vima” commenting on the recent developments.
