ND ‘trapping’ tactics in co-government with K. Velopoulos, with a view to the Center

By Niki Zorba

The rift left by the prime minister for a ND co-operation government after the second ballot – effectively pulling the handbrake on the scenarios for a triple ballot if the ND is not elected independently on the second Sunday – in conjunction with the statement of the president of KINAL-PASOK how to cooperate on the basis of a social democratic plan, brought smiles to SYRIZA and a change of strategy:

With a look at KINAL and Center

The aim is now to “isolate” the ND politically and to show that its only potential ally for forming a government is the party of Kyriakos Velopoulos.

The profit that Koumoundourou is aiming for is obvious: To demystify Kyriakos Mitsotakis as the political ruler of the Center. This tactic was revealed by Alexis Tsipras himself yesterday, in an interview he gave to Ionian TV:

“We clearly say that there can be stability in the country after the simple proportional elections that we have established, with a government of cooperation, on a programmatic basis, of progressive convergence,” he said, concluding in Syriza:

“With whom will Mr. Mitsotakis cooperate on the basis of the program he is implementing today as a government? Because I imagine that he has not regretted what he has done, otherwise he would have changed it. With whom? With Mr. Velopoulos? If his planning “is to work with Mr. Velopoulos to form a government, let’s say it. And all political forces must take a stand on the crucial question: how will the country get out of this crisis, with what program and with what collaborations.”

In the meantime, in Koumoundourou they have been discouraged not only by the polls that show the closure of the gap between ND-SYRIZA (mainly due to the fall of the percentages of ND) but also by the “abandonment” of the scenario for triple ballots – if required in order for the N.D. to be elected autonomously.

Party sources emphasize: “Exactly one week ago (March 23) he described the” cooperation “and” ephemeral alliances that can not stand “the governments of cooperation. Six days later, on March 29, from” autonomy or chaos “Mr. Mitsotakis passed to “Autonomy is not an end in itself” and “the people will choose whether the country will be governed by one or two parties.” The more it collapses, the more its arguments and strategy will be exposed. ”

Velopoulos and collaborations

The same sources characterize the new statements of the prime minister as “cubist”, for which they claim, among other things:

1. He denies many polls that with methodological acrobatics still try to show scenarios of autonomy of ND, since he admits that there is no autonomy even in the second ballot boxes.

2. He admits defeatistically that autonomy was a communication bubble while devaluing the first ballot box, mining the result of ND, since it leads to disintegration on the first Sunday of the simple analog.

3. It strengthens the agenda of SYRIZA and Mr. Tsipras who from the beginning have clarified that the first ballots can give a progressive government of cooperation. Also, his strategy is lagging behind again, as on the one hand it opens a window for a co-operative government, but on the other it devalues ​​the first ballot box.

4. It shows that it will try to push the Greek Solution and first of all KINAL, in which it aims to form a government. He has to say with whom he will go to form a government and on the basis of which program. At the same time, KINAL in the near future will be called even more urgently to take a position on how, with what program commitments and by whom the country will be governed after the elections to get out of the crisis, knowing the results of the three-year government 2012- 2015.

5. He refutes his current narrative that stability exists only with an autonomous government, as well as his extortionate dilemma “autonomy or chaos”. The dilemma of the elections as time goes by will be “stability or Mitsotakis” .6. He confirms that the only stable governments (which invokes stability) are those of cooperation and not those of one-party arbitrariness. The most stable government of the last 15 years was that of SYRIZA.
