Poll smiles in SYRIZA

Her Nikis Zorba

They were “shocked” by recent prime minister assurances that the government would run out of four years and that elections would not be held earlier than their “time” in the spring of ’23 – but only temporarily for just twenty-four hours.

The “burning” of the third ballot box and the opening of the discussion for post-election cooperation by the prime minister himself restored Koumoundourou’s assessments that the elections are not late, and in any case, the long-term plans of the government will not succeed.

Pulse measurements

The “key” are the polls published in the last days for the “elevation” of morale that prevails in Koumoundourou, at a time when the SYRIZA is also preparing for the conference of its enlargement and transformation.

And the main opposition party may not show a significant increase in percentages, but it is absolutely pleased – for the time being – with the fall of the government polls and the reduction of the gap to a single digit percentage.

According to associates of Alexis Tsipras, after all, the “big” poll image, as evaluated by Koumoundourou, is: a downward trend for the ND, a downward trend for KINAL and an upward trend for SYRIZA.

Based on the same analyzes, the most notable political and social finding of the polls is that the recent measures announced by the government to curb the effects of accuracy and the energy crisis are considered insufficient by an overwhelming percentage of citizens, with predominantly negative emotions: , anger and despair.

They do not see any room for improvement in the situation on the accuracy front in the near future, as they believe that the difficulties are ahead: Explosive price increases, consequently and goods, further inflation, will “gnaw” even more the government’s political capital, as well as These are vital issues for the daily lives of citizens, which are not expected to be de-escalated based on its choices.

Particularly, they do not value the MRB poll in the “headquarters” of SYRIZA. It is reasonably used by Koumoundourou in terms of communication, in the sense that it is the first time in the polls of the last 2.5 years that SYRIZA “takes” a head from the government faction, even in terms of quality findings. Hence, they “fight” the finding that 27.8% of the citizens believe that SYRIZA would offer more effective support on the issue of accuracy. This is what leads them to the conclusion that “SYRIZA in the real problem that concerns the citizens, according to all measurements, and will judge to a large extent the elections, is superior to the government by 8.7% and this is a substantial difference. For “For the first time, the official opposition is ahead of the government in terms of citizen satisfaction,” the same sources said.

In short, the anemic poll performance of SYRIZA does not cause them the same embarrassment as during the previous term of government: It is clear that they are openly betting on the logic of “communicating vessels”.

Collaborations

In Koumoundourou, after all, they are now convinced that government corruption is irreversible for the government and there they attribute the discussion opened by Mr. Mitsotakis for post-election cooperation: The Prime Minister is, in the Syriza reading, in a “strategy gap, since he must” clearly answer the question: With whom will he govern, given the fantasy of autonomy he burned it himself. With Velopoulos? Or does he hope to make government transfers and party splits? Let him go out and say it. ”

The intention of Alexis Tsipras to remove Kyriakos Mitsotakis from the Center is legible, utilizing the “no” of KINAL to the N.D. and the condition set by Nikos Androulakis on a “social democratic plan”. At the level of narrative, SYRIZA “pushes” N.D. to seek alliances on its right, Kyriakos Velopoulos in this case, as the expressed desire of Alexis Tsipras for the dominance of SYRIZA in the “middle ground” is a given. The one who traditionally promotes governments.
