SYRIZA: How the Tsiodra-Lytra study relieved internal party shocks

By Niki Zorba

As early as Monday afternoon, when the meeting of the SYRIZA Parliamentary Group under Alexis Tsipras ended, a “signal” had been sent that, in view of the debate on the budget in Parliament, to silence the sharpened party spirits– once again through another unifying call of Tsipras.

It was already obvious that the “Andreas Xanthos” issue was over for Koumoundourou: Her leadership fully supported the head of the health department, Alexis Tsipras also expressed his full confidence in him. and not only that. In defiance of various “polka guards”, the president of SYRIZA sent them a clear message that the line of SYRIZA in the pandemic is one, united, solid and expressed by his Head of Health, Andreas Xanthos.

In this direction of “support” to Andreas Xanthos, a number of executives moved: Tsakalotos, Haritsis, Voutsis, Vitsas, etc.

Beyond that, it was clear that the “line” decided in SYRIZA for the “battle” of the budget in Parliament would be in orbit: Pandemic-Accuracy.

Manna from heaven the study Tsiodra-Lytra

The gathering due to the discussion and voting of the 2022 budget was a given (even SYRIZA, which has an incredible talent in own goals, has a sense of self-preservation) but no one expected that the announcement of a study by S. Tsiodra-Th. Lytra for ICU mortality would create favorable conditions for SYRIZA to launch an immediate political counterattack.

The receipt from the interview of N. Filis (Kathimerini) who was accusing his party of exercising opposition with death was very fresh.

After the publication of this study, however, since yesterday morning, SYRIZA was immediately coordinated: The signal gave Alexis Tsipras via twitter personally attacking the Prime Minister (liar and criminally indifferent), followed shortly after an announcement by the “central” of the party and a statement by Nasos Iliopoulos. The “statements” were completed with Andreas Xanthos, who even uttered it on camera, in the peristyle of the Parliament, with a central message: The Prime Minister is heavily exposed. In the midst of the pandemic crisis, in the midst of the enormous anxiety of people about their health and the survival of their relatives who are intubated and often wait in vain for an intensive care unit, and “there are shadows that need to be clarified, explanations given” , the government brings a budget which provides for significant cuts.

Against the Parliament

Of course, the cons was also transferred to the Parliament during the discussion on the budget, between the Deputy Minister Theodoros Skylakakis and Euclides Tsakalotou-Dora Avgeris.

Koumoundourou clearly refers to the Government and Kyriakos Mitsotakis following the pounding, culminating on Saturday night when shortly before the budget vote they will “clash” as usual on an annual basis, the Prime Minister with the Prime Minister .
