Greek Centre-Left

Historic and well-known cadres are passing the torch to new ones, who will help the PASOK succeed in the future, after a dark decade of floundering for the historic party.

SYRIZA is finding it difficult to pick up opposition speed and appears not to have fully understood the role of a main opposition party and can no longer pose past dilemmas.

Ten years ago, we witnessed a political upset. SYRIZA sufficiently chipped away at PASOK’s electoral base and became one of the two predominant poles of the Greek political system.

The Movement for Change must move forward with a hard but mature opposition stance based on arguments, because that is the only way it can persuade prospective voters.

With the new leader that will be elected tomorrow, KINAL-PASOK should begin, united and strong, the campaign for the renewal and rebirth of the great democratic party.

This is the most critical juncture in recent years for the Movement for Change and the segment of the electorate that it represents, as they have been given a great opportunity.

Impeccable preparations are required so that the centre-left party can proceed toward the election in a coordinated fashion and a manner that befits its history.

The survey shows that that the party’s parliamentary representative, Andreas Loverdos, has a 3.6 percentage point lead over George Papandreou in the general pool of respondents.

It is Gennimata's personal political legacy that has rallied together members of her party at a moment when it is in the midst of a divisive leadership race

One will remember Fofi Gennimata's example, that of a brave woman never beaten down by the fear of death, who devoted herself to politics without losing her humanity, with a pure smile.

Ms Gennimata has proven in her life – in which she fought hard for everything – that she is imbued with the essence of the saying, “The only battle lost is the one that was not fought.”

The centre-left owes a debt of gratitude to SYRIZA because its attempts to pillage it ended up rallying it together.

What is impeding the PM’s plan for a progressive front is the stance of Movement for Change leader Fofi Gennimata and of To Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis
