A. Tsipras distances from the … for the first time Left aiming at the voters of K. Mitsotakis

By Niki Zorba

In yesterday interview he gave Alexis Tsipras on SKAI TV, the news was the “stadium” from where he decided to address the Citizens. Environment foreign to SYRIZA voters, with admission to the anti-SYRIZA front.

“Flirting” with the audience of K. Mitsotakis

Addressing this audience was the main issue of the election of the president of SYRIZA. The messages he sent, after all, are not new. Just a few days ago, for example, on Sunday Dawn, with the same grosso modo rhetoric, Mr. Tsipras had similarly distanced himself from the rhetoric of Pavlos Polakis and Tasia Christodoulopoulou, about how they aspire to be the “second time Left”.

Answered verbatim, when asked about the statements of T. Christodoulopoulou and P. Polakis“There is an opinion among many comrades that in order to face a corrupt party state, you must set up appropriate mechanisms. I strongly disagree with them on what views. This is the court of the right. We will never become one. The Left can change the place. “If it goes in the opposite direction. The progressive governments have made ASEP, Diavgeia. Pavlos Polakis and all SYRIZA executives have their way. I do not always agree with what they say, but SYRIZA has collective procedures.”

He had also stated the same in his recent interview with Avgi:

“SYRIZA – PS does not intend to replace the selective, powerless and ineffective state that Mr. Mitsotakis leaves us with another, old-fashioned party state. The opposite. Not only because we do not want to, but also because we know we will fail. On the contrary, we will succeed only if we manage to completely disconnect the state from the party. With structures and institutions of meritocracy, which will be historical sections, such as, for example, ASEP or Diavgeia. It is no coincidence that they were not made by right-wing governments, but by progressive governments.

We have no luck if we try to hit the Right with its own weapons, playing in its own stadium, that of unworthiness, of customer relations, of nepotism. We will defeat the Right by completely changing the field of confrontation.
In the face of outdated notions of full control of the state, of information, of public procurement, which, as we have seen, have even reached “night” in Maximos, the progressive forces must put forward not a better management venture or one. ” state – punishment “, but the social, the democratic, the meritocratic, the human state that supports and protects the citizen”.

Statements that went into the “trifles” of the Syriza news, opera and he took care to correct.

In the midst of it “Polakis problem“, Alexis Tsipras said yesterday beyond any doubt that he did not intends to get rid of by apsikoro his deputy. He simply draws a line between the positions and the views he expresses, hoping that this will be enough to solve the problem of the damage he causes, (very) often – densely, to himself and SYRIZA.

In the same strategy, addressing the public of the prime minister, is included the reminder of his self-criticism that SYRIZA burdened the middle class with unjust and disproportionate taxes, but also the distinction in healthy and state-owned entrepreneurship. In short, Mr. Tsipras, operating fully pre-election, returns to his original strategy, from the first moment he was in the seats of the official opposition, 2.5 years ago: The towing of voters of the Center and those who are (self) identified as “middle class” “from the tank of the SW of Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The referendums

There is also a disgust of Mr. Tsipras in yesterday’s interview that raised a lot of political and parapolitical dust: His reference to internal party referendums in general and the holding of a special one, which will concern the post-election collaborations of SYRIZA.

The base of the party, its members, will be asked about all the critical decisions of SYRIZA, for example, if the party will participate in a government, he said, when asked about the goal of the changes it decided for SYRIZA: It will become the SYRIZA presidential party?

It is one of the main objections addressed to him by Mr. Tsipras’s internal opposition and he himself, in order to amuse the relevant suspicions, has used arguments about the full democracy that the party will run from the bottom to the top.

Commonly, for more “sly” scenarios that saw through Tsipras’s response the possibility of even co-government with the ND, as long as he gets the consent of the SYRIZA members, for the time being at least, there is only smoke, without fire.
