The changes of the party chairman, Alexis Tsipras, in the redistribution of responsibilities, which was announced after the election of the new party secretary, bring ups and downs in the internal party bag of SYRIZA.
The highly publicized “reorganization” of Tsipras concealed many surprises and especially the window of former Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotou, of the sector, although the latter exclusively held this portfolio for years on behalf of Koumoundourou.
The red “tsarina”
The change of baton in the Financial sector of SYRIZA acquires a political value added by the fact that Mr. Tsakaloto Efi Ahtsioglou, former Minister of Labor in the Tsipras government, succeeds in the “fiery” Finance portfolio. His transition from job security, which he knows closely, to the field of Finance is news, but also an obvious risk to SYRIZA’s leadership, not only because of his young age, but also because of the lack of technical expertise in finance. indeed, at a time of global and ongoing reorganization of the international and European economy due to the pandemic.
The bottom
However, Tsakalotou’s beheading came three days after SYRIZA President Alexis Tsipras praised the party’s Central Committee for the “safety mattress”, which the SYRIZA President described as a sign of cleanliness, leaning towards Tsakalotou in his surviving internal party dispute with former minister, Pavlos Polakis.
Tsipras’s aversion, however, did not bode well for the current development, as Mr Tsakalotos is leaving the strongest portfolio to retain the post of parliamentary representative and the role of Coordinator of Economic Affairs – Production and Trade, but under Alekos Flampouraris’s general guide.
On the contrary, Alexis Haritsis, the former party spokesman, who is undoubtedly a technocrat on economics and development, returns to his natural space, the Development sector.
Survival Pappas
The former minister also moves to the infrastructure sector, Nikos Pappas, who has recently monopolized internal party events, following the revelations about the Kalogritsa and Mioni cases. Despite leaving the strong portfolio of the economy, Mr. Pappas remains within a party nymph and indeed in a productive area of responsibility, with Christos Giannoulis as his understudy.
Presidents are also promoted
In addition to Mr. Pappas, representatives of the “presidential” trend also appear with a greater presence in the shadow of the “ministerial” figure, since Christos Spirtzis assumes the position of Head of Citizen Protection replacing Giannis Ragousis, while Mariliza Xenogianakou is takes charge of the Labor sector. The deputy, Costas Zachariadis, head of the Department of the Interior from now on and representative of the generation of 40, also appears in a prominent role.
The newcomers from the “presidential” wing are Theodora Tzakri as a deputy in the foreign sector, Hara Kafantari as a deputy in the field of Civil Protection, but also the young Natasa Gara in the field of digital governance.
The witness of the new generation
From the internal reorganization of the party, it is obvious that Koumoundourou’s attempt to pass the responsibility for policy production to the younger generation, leaving aside the so-called “historical leadership” in addition to key positions. The only exception is the former minister, Thodoris Dritsas, who maintains his portfolio of National Defense, with the entry, however, into the post of deputy of George Tsipras. Due to his acceptance by all wings of the party, Nikos Filis remains stable in his portfolio, having been charged for education after the elections.
In the background there are Polakis
The former minister, Pavlos Polakis, appears in the new leadership group with a limited role, who remains a deputy in the Department of the Interior under Costas Zachariadis and will share the opposition work with two other colleagues, Kyriaki Malama and Milto Hatzigiannakis.
