Alexis Tsipras’ inability to be “freed” from Nikos Pappas and turn it upside down was reflected in the reorganization of his shadow government. The same happened with Pavlos Polakis, who declared him a “scandal hunter”. However, what prompted comment is the vacancy reserved for the informal 53+ leader, Euclid Tsakalotos, but also for the Progressive Alliance, whose executives saw party positions lost.
Alexis Tsipras tried to do a .Reshuffle to highlight his leadership profile, but ended up trying to maintain intra-party balances and avoid pulling his close collaborator Nikos Pappas out of the sector. The people who advertised for the department head positions are among those who are considered bodyguards to the SYRIZA president with some small retirements where they have been placed from 53+ like Thodoris Dritsas.
The dismissal of Euclid Tsakalotos, who handed over his position as CFO to Efi Ahtsioglou, was made in an attempt by Alexis Tsipras to send a message within himself and especially to those who constantly raise the issue when reacting to SYRIZA’s transformation into a leading party.
Thus, it was discovered that Euclides retained one of the two positions he held, that of parliamentary representative. A position that de facto traps its holder since he is obliged to express the party’s central line in Parliament. That is, the carving by the leader. The ex-minister’s circles claim that he accepted Ahtsioglou’s election, in fact pointing out that he is an executive close to 53+.
At this point, however, it should be noted that Euclid Tsakalotos, in addition to the interview he had given to the Epochi newspaper, like the other 53+ executives, has not challenged Alexis Tsipras at any time during his interventions. Rather, it was his leftist alibi for several years. It is indicative that he did not react to what is happening in the internal field of the party, not even to the incorporation of the Progressive Alliance to the title of SYRIZA.
However, to all this we must add the fact that Alexis Tsipras chose the… bench of the members of the Progressive Alliance. Even Giannis Ragousis, one of the leaders of the Bridge, turned out to be the parliamentary representative number 3, losing the position την of the head of the Department of Civil Protection. It is worth mentioning that Giannis Ragousis had provoked reactions in the internal field of the party, appearing more royal than the king in many of his interventions.
It should be noted that the … Progressive Alliance has already lost its essence of existence after the shift to social democracy has entered Koumoundourou’s fridge, with Alexis Tsipras choosing an extreme form of opposition, which aims to dismantle the government in any way and a half. Even to the detriment of the national interests of the country.
Anyway, Euclid Tsakalotos was the message from Tsipras to 53+ with the certainty that the former minister will not react. The progressive alliance, however, found itself in the outer circle of associates, despite the eager effort of its executives to take positions on the president’s panel of close associates.
Nikos Pappas
But what is the essence of the σί Tsipras reorganization is the fate of Nikos Pappas. The SYRIZA boss did not dare to follow executives’ urges to leave his close associate behind. To get it out of the avant-garde and out of the party window.
And many can speak of his demotion in terms of change of area of responsibility (he will supervise the work of the Ministry of Infrastructure), however his permanence in the staff shows the inability of Alexis Tsipras to be released from his partner. Of course, the question remains whether you will participate in the so-called morning coffee. The meeting where decisions are made.
It was almost a given that Alexis Tsipras would not open the window for Nikos Pappas. The relationship between the two men lasts for years, while it is a person who knows everything about the operation of the former prime minister’s system. He was the one who undertook the difficult missions and he was the one who essentially determined who or who would have contact with the SYRIZA president.
In this context, even the change of sector can hardly be considered a degradation, except in terms of the object of the project to be monitored. The demotion would be if Nikos Pappas were out of shape, as Alexis Tsipras’ associates suggested.
Pavlos Polakis
Another person who has repeatedly been the subject of discussions within SYRIZA is Pavlos Polakis. Former party officials still cannot forgive that Alexis Tsipras, as prime minister, forced deputies to vote for him by turning the motion of no confidence presented by the then official opposition leader into a vote of confidence in the government.
Of course, the absurd Cretan has repeatedly given reasons within the party for negative comments and emptying, but without breaking a sweat for the support he has from Alexis Tsipras.
He continues to make inflammatory statements on the Internet, while as a close friend of Nikos Pappas (also on the SYRIZA presidential team) he has supported his partner. In fact, in recent days he preferred to publish the article-message of Thanasis Karteros on the need to support Nikos Pappas but not the election of Dimitris Tzanakopoulos as party secretary.
Polakis lost his post as head of department and was appointed deputy. With a specialty that concerns a scandal hunter. That is, what he has been doing all this time inventing scandals that he presents for the first time on the Internet in his well-known style. And in this case, Alexis Tsipras, as he has done repeatedly over the years, failed to put his close collaborator out of shape.
The Tsipras reorganization
It is a fact that the shadow government concerns only the respective opposition party. In the past, potentially elected people would be the basis of the government the party would form if it took power. In recent years this has disappeared. In any case, the citizens, even the voters of each party, have no particular interest.
In the case of SYRIZA, the various tendencies of the party were of interest. In any case, Alexis Tsipras’ tactics against the government are one. Hard rock, not in all and populist crowns regardless of the theme and importance for the country itself.
