It is common for a party, when it loses power, to experience days of political drought, internal party grievances, and introspection. SYRIZA is in this phase for 14 months and will continue because it cannot submit proposals and present a structured program and plan. But mistakes and omissions allow Alexis Tsipras to speak and seek to like him again.
Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA have a past, a government. He was tested in both promise and deed and was brought into the role of the official opposition. And from this position, it now aims to attract all those who face daily life that, in the midst of crises, becomes even harder.
At the moment the audience is small and the response is minimal, but that does not mean that it cannot increase. Government errors and omissions can contribute to this, especially those that feed off its scenarios and criticisms and are at odds with the reform commitments that the country needs today more than ever.
Because Alexis Tsipras’ claim that the government is responsible for the recession, when the effects of the pandemic are global, is difficult to convince. But when it “treads” on errors, then criticism will begin to find favorable ears, while omissions give catastrophists and development deniers a role of existence.
Alexis Tsipras in his speech on Saturday and yesterday’s interview confirmed that the inability of him and SYRIZA to articulate a correct opposition speech has made populism, hard rock and “no” the only way to go. Herself also confirmed that she is investing in catastrophizing after once again forecasting a catastrophic winter, unemployment and famine.
He has opted for populism and “there is money” restoring the rhetoric and policies of the memorandum period – anti-memorandum. With arguments from 2012-2014, with promises of benefits of billions for all, Alexis Tsipras himself seeks to return to being loved and popular.
Above all, it does not attempt to exorcise what Nikos Filis described at the recent meeting of the party’s Central Committee, namely that the people do not like SYRIZA. That is, something like the “president we no longer like”, allegedly told by Melina Mercouri to Andreas Papandreou, when he was looking for the reasons why PASOK was behind in percentages of ND.
It has no suggestions. At this stage you don’t need them. As an opposition, you can promise everything, you have done it in the past. Its main concern is creating a climate, which is why it invests in catastrophism and the problems that come in winter. The government’s concern is that the forecasts will fail and that the conditions will be created for a smooth transition the next day to the greatest extent possible.
Alexis Tsipras’ speech has yet to be heard. Not because of “interest” and “paid media” but because it has no plan. Whether this will continue is up to the government and how it will proceed at the pace that it has shown it can work. The correct reason is against hard rock and populism. Actions and the outcome produced are what will judge the next moves on the political chessboard. Especially if the mistakes will give way to Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA.
