Mitsotakis’ fear is now evident, since May 21 may be his swan song in power
A few months ago, the staffs of the Mitsotakis system were discussing self-reliance even from the simple proportional ballot box. Afterwards, the bar fell, but more or less they thought that the elections would be a walkover, which would end with the strengthened proportionality and the predominance of Mitsotakis. That is why the strategy of deprecating the simple analog was chosen. Reality, however, came to sweep away the summer-election-night dreams of Megaros Maximos and the strategy and communication experts of President Kyriakos’ team. The dynamic rise of SYRIZA-PS, the programmatic counter-attack, the request for a progressive government of cooperation and, above all, the finding and pointing out that Alexis Tsipras rightly pointed out that the first and the third produce a government in simple proportionality, changed gather the data. The prospect of progressive government is visible and achievable. The Change Agreement even describes the framework of this cooperation on a specific basis. Hence the ND’s ass-kicking, which was confirmed yesterday through the mouth of Schertsou.
Mitsotakis’s fear is now evident, since May 21 may be his swansong in power, which he so obsessively clung to. And to you the scandals with his frontman Kasidiaris, the behind-the-scenes consultations with willing far-rightists, to you the fake news, the scenarios of takeovers and defections and blackmail. The question that Skertsos and Mitsotakis are asked to answer is what the investigative order will do. With whom will he seek to form a government? On what basis? With Androulakis who was watching? With Varoufakis? With Velopoulos?
It is clear that the only real prospect of a strong government mandate, without shadows and scenarios of anomaly, with a program and a plan, which will represent the vast majority of the Greek people, is the progressive government. The victory of SYRIZA-P.S. on May 21 constitutes the primary guarantee for this. A long-term progressive government or a new term of Mitsotakis disaster? This is the dilemma of the ballot box. The citizens will give the answer. And it will be loud.
