Choosing to catastrophize, Alexis Tsipras seeks out newcomers to shape the new narrative with which he will oppose the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The economy, pandemic and nationalism enter SYRIZA’s mill in an effort to hide internal party problems and the civil war that is raging between the president, 53+ and other party members.
Messages rain down on Alexis Tsipras, the last being Nikos Filis, who affirmed yesterday that there is no place for leadership parties at a time when the SYRIZA president seeks to create just that, relying on presidents and family members.
Koumoundourou seems like a boiling cauldron and Alexis Tsipras, unable to present an opposition speech and programmatic proposals, chooses hard rock at a critical moment for the country. The objective is twofold. On the one hand, the grouping, although apparent, against the “evil right”, on the other hand, the creation of a new wave of outraged people who, through the recession due to the pandemic, will create the wave that will return it to power.
In this context, he seems indifferent to the urgency of the circumstances. Both on the issue of the pandemic and the new spread of the coronation and on the current Greek-Turkish crisis. Relying on the international economic recession, it constantly raises problems, neglecting the turn it had taken in social democracy.
Characteristically, even family members who were recently in SYRIZA cannot follow their leader’s shifts, so they disagree with each other on issues that are at the political forefront at the moment. In fact, many remember the internal rivalries of the parties in PASOK during the period when they were in opposition.
Alexis Tsipras had invested in a right parenthesis estimating that Kyriakos Mitsotakis will not be able to stand up after he implements his “neoliberal agenda” according to SYRIZA. And that from the seats of the opposition he will succeed in deconstructing the current government. After all, as prime minister, he had shown how much he underestimated his successor.
However, the movements of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the confrontation of major crises such as Evros but above all the pandemic showed that things will not be easy. For this reason, he chooses the easy path of populism, of not everything and of accusatory speech, which at the moment has its origin in the mouths of executives like Pavlos Polakis. This path fills the great voids of the official opposition
The party leaders point this out and ask him to define a compass, a line on which SYRIZA will move as the official opposition and not to go backwards as in the case of the delimitation of the EEZ with Egypt or the issue of tourism. An issue on which the official opposition changes position depending on the evolution.
Senior executives point out that the lack of strategy and positions is visible to the naked eye. As well as that the voters find out and have registered it at the polls. In fact, they say that if this does not change in the next elections, after the summer period, there is a risk that the situation will be irreversible for the future of the party.
This issue, like the one that SYRIZA finally comes to after the integration of its former PASOK executives, in combination with the problems that comrades have with each other, has created the atmosphere of civil war in Koumoundourou.
Not everyone is waiting for the changes that Alexis Tsipras will make at the level of department heads to see where the party wants to go. And then they will take up battle positions until, at some point, the coveted conference is held to resolve differences, as Pavlos Polakis has made known the voice of the president as they call it.
It will be indicative what he will do with Nikos Pappas who has been exposed after the revelations about the meetings with the businessman Sambi Mionis, the Cypriot lawyer Artemis Artemiou and the implication in the Kalogritsa case. As with Pavlos Polakis, whose behavior annoys former party officials.
Who will replace Al. Grace in the role of party representative is also an element that will determine the attitude of many executives.
In any case, Alexis Tsipras knows that there must be decompression and the “boiling pot” must cool down. In this stage she has chosen hard rock as her escape valve and her opposition to nothing, which reaches and exceeds the limits of populism.
When he accuses the government of “vulgarity”, the prime minister of “self-criticism” (???) and announces in advance that there will be “hell” in the country in autumn, he essentially alters the role assigned to him by the Greek people. moment for the country. The one with the Official Opposition
