SYRIZA: Pressing in N.D. for ‘old-fashioned partisanship’, electoral law and accuracy

By Niki Zorba

They especially enjoyed in Koumoundourou yesterday what was happening with her expulsion of the Cave of Lebanon, the removal of Petros Doukas and the stories that were told with a laugh by the bankers at the meeting of Ilia for the deadly fires of 2007.

The beheading of the Minister of Rural Development by K. Mitsotakis until yesterday, with the reflexes shown by the prime minister leading him directly out of the government nymph, meant for SYRIZA a “signal for counterattack”. Do not leave the leader of the ruling party unattended to “collect” the damage and win by showing a fist, the impressions.

Hence, as soon as the news of the removal of Spilios Libanos from Kyriakos Mitsotakis became known, the “centrals” of the party hurried to downgrade the event by announcing the press office, talking more or less about a common timeless practice of N.D. indulges in “extreme voting” over natural disasters.

Koumoundourou continued at the same pace and immediately after the announcement of the new Minister of Rural Development. As soon as the name of George Georgantas was announced as the successor of Spilios Libanos, Koumoundourou took out from her notebooks, a video with statements by Mr. Georgantas, accompanied by an announcement stating that “At a party event of ND, she seems to say that local organizations should remind former ND voters before the election that they have benefited from its governments, either through appointments or contracts. “It’s a little difficult, of course, because if that were the case, they would all have to go home together.”

And while in no announcement of SYRIZA on the issue of Lebanon-Doukas and the deadly fires in Ilia, there was no reference to the then Karamanlis government, with his personal statement on social networks, the former prime minister was named by the party’s Piraeus MP, Giannis Ragousis:

“Why did he delete Doukas for his statements and not delete Karamanlis for his actions? But because Mitsotakis’s problem is not that they did it, but that they revealed it.”

Accuracy and electoral law

At the same time, it was confirmed yesterday that the issue of accuracy will continue to figure high on SYRIZA’s opposition agenda as a lever of strong pressure on the government. Yesterday, the main opposition party re-submitted its previous amendment, asking for reduction of VAT on fuel (which for the time being is at least categorically ruled out by the government).

Meanwhile, with the scenarios for a new change in the electoral law continuing to be in the forefront despite the denials from the Maximos Palace, Koumoundourou found an opportunity on the one hand to mine them in advance and on the other to try to gain impressions on them. The SYRIZA Spokesman stated on them, that: ” The debate over changing the electoral law is acceptance of the collapse of the ND government “.
