SYRIZA: The ‘line of defense’ in the support measures for Energy – What do they expect, what are they afraid of

By Niki Zorba

For the past 24 hours, based on leaks and information initially, Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA are pounding the Government for the new support package for Energy that was officially announced yesterday afternoon.

The “line” before the Prime Minister’s announcements was the skepticism about how much, from where and to whom the support package will be directed, under the general title: Mr. Mitsotakis remembered after nine months of scandalous parties that measures are needed support and this under the weight of social reactions.

In the Koumoundourou moved the same wavelength yesterday listening to the measures, adding to the “quiver” of its arguments in order to deconstruct the government moves that:

1. They admit that the explosive increases are not due to the Russian invasion, since the measures have been retroactive since December, when the war in Ukraine did not break out.

2. The support package comes from the state budget, ie the money of the taxpayers and not from the suppression of the notorious profit of PPC and the electricity generation companies, with what this means for deficit and taxes.

3. It turns out that in the end we did not find the money trees that the government was accusing us of for our proposals. The Prime Minister found them with a 9-month delay, which is an acceptance that the untimely support of citizens and businesses was a matter of political will.

In addition, Koumoundourou’s sources are expressing serious reservations – expecting to “search out” the measures that are being specialized today – about how much the amount that will eventually reach the pockets of consumers will be.

The political footprint

From there and beyond last night, after the announcements of K. Mitsotakis, in their private conversations, the officials of the official opposition “fermented” the political imprint of the announcements: These moves will be able to pull the government “handbrake” in the poll of wear?

It is reminded that the ND-SYRIZA gap is decreasing, but due to the fall of the government percentages and not due to the rise of SYRIZA. Opera means that with the current situation of the last three years, if the government stops “losing” in the polls, then it is extremely difficult to change the political correlations, until the elections (whenever they take place).

There is a relevant concern in the pool of SYRIZA executives, but at the same time, the optimistic – for the official opposition – reading is predominant: The government did not act in time to prevent this evil with the cost of energy, instead it insulted those who demanded there is a risk of social upheaval and energy poverty and now it is too late to convince him that he did the right thing by letting so much time flow. She has been exposed and no one believes her anymore.

Commonly, Koumoundourou, in anticipation of the official political footprint through the polls, of the new support measures, clearly invests in the irreversible disappointment of the ND voters.
