Androulakis Rejects Coalition Calls Amid PASOK’s Decline – Attacks on ‘One-Man Parties’

Trapped in introspection, which has dominated the party recently, as its members struggle to find solutions to PASOK’s problems, unofficial contacts continue among Charilaou Trikoupis members to seek a way out of the issues highlighted by PASOK’s declining poll numbers. Nikos Androulakis has decided to follow the path of self-reliance and not succumb to coalition calls or messages from SYRIZA regarding a progressive front. The leader of the official opposition is convinced that the electorate following him will not be left-leaning voters but centrists, particularly those who have found shelter in New Democracy. However, this analysis has been challenged by Zoe Konstantopoulou, who not only displaced PASOK into third place but appears to be draining the party of centrists. Consequently, Androulakis launched attacks against Freedom Journey and ‘one-man parties,’ emphasizing the need for their voices and daily initiatives to reach every corner of the country. He criticized parties without programs, single-leader parties, and TikTok parties, arguing they cannot change Greece or drive regional development. Meanwhile, dissent within PASOK continues, as evidenced by MP Odyseas Konstantinopoulos expressing disagreement with co-filing a no-confidence motion with Freedom Journey.
