SYRIZA

Tsipras’ flirt with centrist voters lasted only a few days, as did the rebuke of the Chania, Crete, MP, who immediately unleashed new threats in the social media.

The acceleration in the development of the surveillance affair seems to be impacting on the climate shaped by the political wear and tear of the ruling party and the damage it has suffered.

The findings of the GPO poll published by Ta Nea clearly highlight a prospective future problem – the danger of not being able to form a stable, viable government after the next general elections.

Democratic political parties each time set the boundaries and determine the measure of each dispute over plans for the country’s future.

A party’s actions are what will truly demonstrate that it comprehends that political toxicity constitutes a danger for the country, because citizens judge actions.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has turned his attention to moderate voters and is attempting to fashion a technocratic, “rational” image of his government.

If a coalition government were to be formed, the most desirable partner for ND would be PASOK, whose new leader Nikos Androulakis has for now ruled out the prospect.

In his interviews and public appearances, main opposition leader Alexis Tsipras declares the need to 'separate the state from the party' and talks about 'meritocratic institutions'.

Although nobody denies that Greece had allowed dysfunctions to fester for years, the course of public debt and of deficits demonstrates that they skyrocketed in the 2004-2009 period [on Karamanlis’ watch].

It would be wrong if, due to its rise in the polls, PASOK forgets the difficulty of the task that it has undertaken. The party must prove that it can stand firmly in the centre of the political spectrum.

Citizens are tired of political cockfights. They seek solutions for a host of problems in their daily lives, with the pandemic and inflation topping the list.

SYRIZA presumed that with a repetition of its enraged rhetoric of 2010-2015, it could ineluctably become the alternative (to ruling New Democracy) pole in the parliamentary system.

The government’s management of the pandemic and citizens’ fears regarding inflation have shocked households and function as a catalyst for political developments.

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.

SYRIZA’s spokesman reiterated proposals for a minimum wage hike, lowering the special consumption tax, and intervention in the pricing of the Public Power Corporation.

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.

From the start of the pandemic, beyond strengthening and safeguarding the country and the sense of individual responsibility, a decisive issue has been the stance of all political parties.

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.

Apostolakis stressed that the combination and inter-operability of the frigates and the French Rafale fighter jets that the government has agreed to purchase is ideal and can ensure excellent results in monitoring the region and in operations.

The ease with which main opposition cadres discern responsibilities of their political opponents for whatever goes wrong in the country was apparent in Spirtzis' statement about the latest femicide.

Mr. Tsipras declared that, “We are the par excellence party of self-criticism.” Yet, he acknowledged no errors and offered no indication that he has abandoned his populist past.

Amidst rampant talk about the prospect of snap elections, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis sendt a strong message that his government will serve out its full, four-year term.

Recently, main opposition leader Alexis Tsipras called the PM a Herod who kills children. Yesterday, he declared that the PM has ideological fixations and that he is fanatical and a liar.

Within the former SYRIZA's government's plot, the “Papastavrou case” and the instrumentalisation of the “Lagarde list” served as the engine for more persecutions, such as in the case of Novartis.

The broad approval of the government in public opinion is accompanied by a notably high percentage of citizens – 73.2 percent - who are negative about SYRIZA’s opposition tactics.

The majority report (New Democracy and KINAL, Movement for Change) does not charge Pappas for the felony of bribe-taking but it does charge him with repeated breach of trust.

The veracity of the allegations against the erstwhile strong man of the first left-wing government, Nikos Pappas, and against the then ruling party, must be investigated.

Does Greece's main opposition party have a solid strategy based on real channels of communication and ties with parties abroad or is it an opportunistic bid by Syriza to avoid collapse?

The most important issue is not that Isabel Diaz Ayuso triumphed in Madrid. Finding a persuasive plan for the peoples of Europe is now the overarching challenge.

Parliament was told that there was an effort to find a suitable businessman who would be willing to create a SYRIZA television channel in return for a broadcast license.

The ex-justice minister maintains that the last-minute approval of the Penal Code by Parliament in 2019 determined the timing of elections as they were postponed for one week to pass it into law.

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.

Even if one accepts the contention that the left-wing government did not intentionally tailor the Criminal Code to benefit Golden Dawn, Syriza has yet to convincingly answer the charge that it was well aware of the repercussions

The polls show how citizens judge actions and behaviours and that they constantly seek solutions to the everyday problems which affect their quality of life.
