Movement for Change

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.

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.

Voters yesterday in the KINAL leadership election did not simply send a signal to their next leader. They sent a signal in all directions regarding the functioning of democracy.

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.

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

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.”

Those in the know regarding the centre-left express concerns that the closer we get to the first round of the election the sharper the rhetoric of the candidates will become.

SYRIZA aims to co-opt the centre-left, Pasok-based Movement for Change (KINAL) which refused to sign on to both SYRIZA’s declaration regarding the 17 November anniversary and its statement on healthcare.

'Mr. Mitsotakis is now telling us ‘Mitsotakis or chaos.’ He is crudely blackmailing the Greek people but they are not buying it. They want political stability and not adventures,' the Movement for Change leader declared.

According to official Interior Ministry returns, candidates supported by New Democracy secured a clear lead in six of the seven prefectural run-offs today

Tsipras opted for a major gamble by framing the election as a referendum on his stimulus package and for the first time in nearly four years he lost the bet.

In the 13 prefectures of the region of Macedonia SYRIZA is trailing New Democracy by a whopping 14.3 percentage points.

It is a dishonour for any politician to invoke a law that protects ministers from prosecution by requiring that Parliament lift his or her parliamentary immunity.

The political consensus needed to wage the anti-corruption battle is being destroyed, and that in itself is a first-class scandal.

The so-called “Bridge” initiative to bring together SYRIZA and the centre-left failed because the bridge builders were people who were linked to SYRIZA.

There is a fortuitous confluence of events for the Movement for Change as it has become apparent that SYRIZA’s opening to the centre-left is a failure.

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

One cannot but agree that the manner in which certaing Pasok cadres moved to SYRIZA creates the impression that the PM is in panic

Gennimata expelled from the party the leader of the small, cooperating Democratic Left party, Thanasis Theocharopoulos.

Asked if they approve of the government “with all that you know and your experience with SYRIZA”, 71.4 percent said they were very or rather dissatisfied.

New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis said it is inconceivable for the agreement to be ratified without parliament having been given the complete text of FYROM’s Constitution with the amendments stipulated in the accord.

There are concerns in Greece that MPs who have declared their support may switch at the last moment, so as to ensure their political survival in the general election.

On the crucial question, “Which party will bring economic growth?” New Democracy leads ruling SYRIZA by a whopping 30 percentage points.

Simitis has unwittingly been transformed into a symbol of resistance against all those who, armed with fake news and fetid propaganda, dream of becoming the Maduros or Erdogans of Greece.
