Tsipras’ movement that “betrayed” the Koumoundourou panic

There are some movements and elections in politics that may not say much, but on a second reading they are revealing. The fact that Alexis Tsipras rushed to make a public statement Thursday morning, at a time when the prime minister’s message was expected to address the coronavirus pandemic may not be a major political element, but it is indicative of the prevailing climate in the official’s party. opposition.

So, at the time when everyone was waiting for the new measures from the Maximos Palace, as the number of cases was constantly increasing, Mr. Tsipras made a rather unusual move. Make it public, without waiting for the prime minister’s message on an issue that concerns millions of Greeks and criticizing it in its entirety.

Obviously, this decision also reveals what is happening in Koumoundourou. On the one hand, it shows the anxiety that the former prime minister has occupied. On the other hand, it confirms all those who accuse SYRIZA of a lack of narrative and mainly lack of positions.

“Besides being unprecedented, it would also be frivolous, if it weren’t about something so important. Alone in the small house of Koumoundourou, Mr. Tsipras does not understand what is happening in society. Obviously he doesn’t even listen to the citizens. However, let us be sure that citizens united, responsibly, will once again listen to the instructions of the experts and we will overcome, all together, the crisis ”, was the comment of the blue executive on liberal.gr.

It has not happened many times in the past, perhaps not even for the first time, that the official opposition on the eve of a major government announcement that touches on public health launches a frontal attack, on an issue that goes beyond the party. limits. In general, the exercise of the opposition on sensitive issues such as the coronavirus becomes more responsible and mainly without a trace of partisan convenience.

In the case of SYRIZA, this is not the case, leading many to believe that the main opposition party is ruling without a compass and without drawing up an alternative plan of action for the citizens. In the government, however, they are especially in the “dust that SYRIZA has raised” on the issue of buses. They even remember that Tsipras, which left in July 2019, had left 850 buses in Athens, that in one year the number of buses became 1,150 and that more are already being added so that by the end of the year, 500 more will circulate through the streets of Athens. of which 200 will come from the partnership with KTEL and 300 from the lease.

In any case, the assessment that exists in the Palace of the Maxims for SYRIZA’s strategic planning is not the best, since they consider that at a critical moment the opposition is less than the circumstances.
