The ghost of Pagoropoulos, about Koumoundourou



[ad_1]

Alexis believes that he is a political reincarnation of Andreas Papandreou. The encrypted copies of the PASOK founder’s style, cliches and movements are monumental. He considers that he has already recorded Andreas’ first feat on his CV. Just as he formed a party from scratch and ruled the country, Alexis took a party from the slippery 3% and brought it to power. Between us, he is not mistaken. He did it.

His next goal is to repeat Papandreou’s second feat. As Andreas fell from Mitsotakis and returned to power defeating him in a magnificent rematch, Alexis wants to climb the Palace steps again as the winner. Maximou and receive it from the defeated and humiliated junior Mitsotakis. This objective does not seem on track at the moment, but the next elections and the next six and a half are still two and a half years away. Nothing has been judged.

Somewhere is your third burning inner desire. Andreas remained in the national and popular memory as a legend. This is exactly what Alexis wants, no less. And Alexis is far from that goal, but History is a dishonorable woman. She writes to the players in her pockets with her own unexpected evaluation, whenever she decides and if she wants. People’s designs are often amusing in the face of their deepest intentions. Consequently, Alexis has a right to hope without knowing if it is destined for her black or white stores.

To achieve this triple feat, Alexis considers it a necessary and capable condition to turn SYRIZA into PASOK. I am wrong in my opinion, but who am I to measure my point of view? In this frenzy of pasteurization, the radical left party became social democratic, the collective political organization became the one-man beginning, the crimson color turned green, the left’s immediately preceding attempt to rule became “Dirty ’89”, the old organizations closed wide web ports, their proven lefties George’s staff eliminated the presidential morning coffee.


All this, even if it seems out of place or very violent in terms of rhythms, is deeply logical. This is the only way to transform a party, with movements and initiatives from above. However, what would seem inconceivable for a party with roots in Eurocommunism and the renewed left is Tsipras’ decision to copy PASOK even the late Dimitris Pagoropoulos. In other words, create a disciplinary body that can impose sanctions. From reprimand and temporary suspension of membership, to definitive deletion.

The famous “hatzaras” of PASOK, the leader of the Disciplinary Movement for 20 years, had massacred many more than would fit in a penny notebook with 25 lines on the page. Not to be misunderstood, Pagoropoulos was a very serious man and an excellent lawyer. He had a flaw, which on his Easter days was an advantage. She pathologically loved Andreas and served him blindly, believing that the leader knew more than he did.


And that is why, after so many decades (Pagoropoulos died in 2000, after becoming a MP and MEP) it is good to dispel a vital myth of Easter. Pagoropoulos was not a “hatzara”, but Andreas himself. At least when it comes to middle and top management. Did not exist fair and unfair in this, his party was the one he wanted to manage. The question that arises today, however, is whether SYRIZA’s “hatzaras”, whose career is barely climbing, have the guts of Andreas, whom he tries so hard to resemble. Which Andreas deleted them (through Pagoropoulos) and they said “thank you president”.
