“One step forward and two steps back.” This is the prevailing sentiment in SYRIZA regarding the continuing political and communication goals of its own that Koumoundourou has been receiving lately.
There is concern at the highest levels of the official opposition, since in the last twenty days in two cases SYRIZA was declared “responsible” for the statements and positions of its executives on critical current issues. Both cases, in fact, concerned issues that Koumoundourou considered dominant.
RELEVANT ITEMS
The latest example is Thodoris Dritsas’s statement for “November 17”.
What the deputy and historical figure of the party wanted fell like a bomb on the Tsipras staff, at the time, in fact, when the last preparations were being made for the presentation of SYRIZA’s plan for the new NSS.
Koumoundourou’s plan placed emphasis on the communication of the new Health program, on which SYRIZA places great emphasis, highlighting the event and especially the presence of scientists outside party lines, and the pressure on the government for deficiencies and omissions in the National Health System. especially in Attica.
Instead, once again, SYRIZA’s communications staff rushed to put out the fires that ignited the executives’ statements. The initial clarification of Mr. Dritsas failed to stop the reactions, so Alexis Tsipras himself requested the issuance of a statement, with which he effectively distanced himself from his deputy.
Similar situations existed last week. The Lignadis case has put the government in a difficult position. SYRIZA tried to take advantage of it, highlighting the problem at its peak. At the same time, in an event, considered one of the most successful that the party has carried out in recent years, Alexis Tsipras spoke with people of culture, most of whom have no ties to the main opposition party.
The deputy posts (Polakis, Eleftheriadou) and SYRIZA-friendly media, which identified the Prime Minister and New Democracy with cases of pedophilia, gave the Prime Minister the opportunity to request a debate in Parliament, focusing on the issue of the quality. of public discourse, accusing SYRIZA and Alexis Tsipras of toxicity and conspiracy theories.
The SYRIZA president, in fact, found himself in the unpleasant position, from the floor of Parliament, of declaring that he is separating his position from the positions of deputies of his party.
How does Tsipras plan to deal with the problem?
The difference in messages, aesthetics and orientation that SYRIZA emits refers to the highest levels of Koumoundourou.
On the one hand, a great effort is being made to create an image of the modern left, opening up to social and professional spaces that SYRIZA did not speak of before, highlighting new technologies and the possibilities they offer and the elaboration of positions in the program. On the other hand, SYRIZA is constantly responsible for the style, statements and positions of its executives, which often put the party and its president in need of a separation from their positions.
Many argue that this “discord” is not a weakness of SYRIZA but a political choice for Alexis Tsipras, thus bringing together the entire spectrum of opposition tactics. However, the truth is that Mr. Tsipras’s interlocutors realize that it is urgent to clarify the opposition identity that the party emits.
The assessment in Koumoundourou is that the government seeks to create a climate of tension and therefore, despite the constant folds of Th. At the same time, they point out that the ruling party cannot ask SYRIZA to apologize for a hashtag on the Internet and at the same time accusing the official opposition of covering up terrorism.
Alexis Tsipras is reluctant to carry out movements and disciplinary measures against the deputies. However, according to the information, everyone and everything is evaluated and will be taken into account when it comes time to prepare the ballots.
Likewise, SYRIZA’s search for new executives continues with the establishment of the “executive registry”. The goal is to find technocrats and scientists, without party affiliation, who are interested in cooperating with the party on various levels.
In Koumoundourou, after the two events (Culture and NSS) they are determined to continue the same model on other issues, since they want to give the message of participation on the one hand and openness to society on the other.
Finally, Alexis Tsipras is expected to increase his public appearances, but also his appearances in Parliament, since in Koumoundourou they believe that he wins points with his positions in the Plenary.
