It is logical that the leadership of KINAL draw and observe the dividing lines between New Democracy and SYRIZA. This way you protect your space.
From this point until the vote of no confidence presented by SYRIZA against a government minister votes in favor, the distance is great and dangerous.
The KINAL leadership will know what a vote of no confidence means and I am sure they also know its special political significance. Therefore, I assume that she understands what her cooperation with SYRIZA symbolizes in this regard.
A. Tsipras took this opportunity offered by Ms. F. Gennimata and spoke about “democratic solidarity”, that is, obviously, SYRIZA-KINAL cooperation. This is exactly the strategic objective of the SYRIZA leading team. With these correlations of forces in the two areas, we cannot speak of “solidarity”, but of SYRIZA’s cooperation with the “other democratic forces”, to recall a bit of the 80s.
To justify this action, Ms. Gennimata referred to the last fifteen years, referring to the recognized and recognized responsibilities of the government of Costas Karamanlis for the deficit of 2009.
Old sour grapes.
It is a fact that the government’s remarkable resilience as well as its penetration into the center-left area has terrified not only SYRIZA, but also the KINAL leadership, which sees its polls stalled at around 6%. While the statement of the leader of KINAL that “one problem follows another and the image created for Mr. Mitsotakis cracks” is correct in its first part.
In fact, one problem follows another, but Mr. Mitsotakis’s image is not at all cracked. On the contrary, polls show the opposite of what Gennimata believes. The image of both the government and the prime minister grows month by month.
The choice of the alliance with SYRIZA in the motion of no confidence against the government’s Finance Minister and the consequent return to traditional anti-right rhetoric show a lack of both strategic and tactical moves. The KINAL leadership has failed to realize that with this rhetoric they are addressing an audience that is in constant decline and what remains is more authentically expressed by the populism of SYRIZA.
It is unable to find new forms of expression, because it has remained attached to outdated political discourses. And unfortunately, in this political impasse of KINAL, its executives have also been trapped, who until now were distinguished by their reformist discourse.
The main and worst thing for these executives is the fact that with the anti-right rhetoric they cut their alternative course. They cut their bridge of escape, if something goes wrong on their personal path within KINAL.
I hope that KINAL has not “suffered” SYRIZA incurable. It is a pity at the moment that the SYRIZA leadership group faces so many problems to offer it the crutch of “democratic solidarity”.
Otherwise, “Vangelis, luckily you left early.”
