SYRIZA: Deep breath from the handbrake in autumn polls even though they are not complacent

By Niki Zorba

Even before breaking up with me analytical argumentation indeedKyriakos Mitsotakis the possibility of going to the polls in the Fall, information had reached Koumoundourou that imminent “handbrake” on the eclogology from Maximou as the prime minister “leaned” towards the option of exhausting the four-year period.

The first reaction of top officials in Koumoundourou was: “Let him do what he thinks. In any case, whether he goes to the elections in the Fall or not, the situation for us is a win-win.”

A comment made not without an increased dose of disbelief, it is the truth. In SYRIZA, not only do they not rule out, despite the categorical statements of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, that the possibility of holding polls within the next quarter remains wide open, on the contrary, they continue their planning, based on the original scenario: We continue tours, prepare ballots, intensify the pressure on the Government without stopping and after all the social, economic and political matter.

Based on this planning, therefore, at the end of this month, the largest percentage of the ballot puzzle will have been completed, except for “surprises” which as it is Capital.gr already reports, will be announced by the president of SYRIZA himself.

Pre-election …breath

Mr. Tsipras persistently calls for early elections, he will continue at this rate anyway, with interventions that have a pre-election flavor hence the sense of “urgency” for the need to recover SYRIZA’s opinion polls.

The polling performance of the officer opposition, combined with KINAL’s “no” for cooperation, is the permanent problem of SYRIZA in order to make the rhetoric about “political change” that is at the door, as months now, believable Koumoundourou.

A deep breath in this field, if it really turns out that the polls are not 2-3 months away but much more, and especially, after the winter that is announced by all sides of the political system as being extremely difficult.

The N.D-SYRIZA gap remains large, but it means that it would be very difficult for SYRIZA to succeed in an electoral contest within the next two months, but it is decreasing.

Consequently, although they do not admit it to Koumoundourou (after they have drawn up a strategy of “leave before causing untoward damage” as A. Tsipras himself said), the practical success of the scenario for elections at the end of the four years, they perceive it as a prime ministerial “gift”. in their party, which obviously did not have time, except in a dramatic situation, to disprove three years of polling trends that show the political supremacy of Mr. Mitsotakis.

Clarification: Political supremacy is not the same as sovereignty obviously. The prime minister has an undisputed lead in all indicators of comparison with the leader of the official opposition. The ND, however, not even with the law that succeeded the simple proportional one, shows strong possibilities for self-reliance. With the present data.
