St. Anthony’s today and the former Prime Minister opened his political office in Democritus to his political friends who want to wish him from 11 a.m. to 3 noon. It’s a good chance to count them after he’s been erased from the Southwest. Already some executives are betting that before the next election Antonis Samaras will return to K.O. This will certainly appear, because for now it seems like a very difficult exercise. “Yes” to Tasoula Antonis Samaras yesterday confirmed the feeling we all knew. He said he would vote for President of the Republic Costas Tasoulas. They were spiritual children of Evangelus Averov, his wings, as they were called when they were young. Antonis Samaras recalled that he publicly argued that, at this political juncture of events and situations, he had to be selected as a candidate for PtD from the centre-right space. He had proposed Costas Karamanlis. “With this political thinking I will vote for Costas Tashoula” he stressed. “It goes without saying that there is no question of comparison between the two persons, and it is equally clear that my disagreement with the recent position of the Speaker of the House on top issues is valid in full.” The spikes concerned Tasulas’ commentary, after the Samara speech on the arrangement concerning marriage of same-sex couples. He had spoken of “unneeded dangerology and toxicity”. In any case, blood can’t be water. The arithmetic With the vote of the former Prime Minister, Kostas Tasoulas is expected to be elected by 167 MPs. They are the 156 of the NW, the two deleted (Samaras, Salmas), the three independent MPs coming from the NW (Katsivardas, Aspiotis, Gayotakis), the 5 Spartans and the independent MP from the Greek Solution Paul Sarakis. He told NEWSIT. Government spokesman Paul Marinakis in response to the opposition who attempted to identify the South West with the far right, pointed out that “Spartian votes are not welcome,” but the message is political, votes will be measured normally. In the air the ‘front’ In the air is the “progressive front”. There is so much talk but it is far from becoming a reality to create a strong opposition against the South of Kyriakos Mitsotakis who continues to have political sovereignty although he has been in government for six years. The parties in the centre-left apartment building were unable to find them even in the face of the presidential candidate even though they would not be able to elect him because they do not have the majority. Bra de Fer The votes that PASOK candidate Tasos Giannitsis and SYRIZA Luca Katseli will take – both are excellent nominations – will send their own messages, with the eye on the position of the main opposition. Fertilizations have begun between executives of the two parties but not at the summit level for the reunification of Syriza with the New Left but light does not appear to exist at least in the immediate future. But arithmetic matters. There’s no way that Syriza who spent third place flirting with the second. It is not the election for the PTD that determines which party will be a major opposition but the view that the way will also be opened for other steps of approach and addition of parliamentary seats that could lead to a change of discipline with PASOK in place of the main opposition. They count one-one! Tasos Giannitis currently counts the 31 PASOK votes to which they are added: the independent MP (formerly Kasselakis’ close political friend) Peter Pappas who is a matter of time to join Harilaou Trikoupis Baran Burhan. Independent MP Rania Thraskia yesterday told NEWSIT that she is examining the two centre-left nominations and will decide whether to vote Yanichi or Luca. If he votes Yannitsi the votes will reach 35. In the case of PASOK it matters what the five members of the Change Movement will do plus Evangelos Apostolakis who continues to be close to Stefanos Kasselakis. At first they think “present”. Today, however, they will meet with the president of the Change Movement and discuss the pros and cons of Yannitsi nomination. If they support him then the PASOK candidate will reach 41 votes and a message of understanding will be sent between the two parties. Syriza Syriza candidate Luka Katseli draws votes – surprises. So far beyond the 26 MPs of SYRIZA, he told NEWSIT that she will be voted for by independent MP Athena Linou who flirted with PASOK. John Sarakiotis thinks about it as he said in the column. It will also be voted on by the Free Freedom MP, an independent MP, Virtje Papaioannou, as he said in NEWSIT. Michael Hurdakis is thinking about it. Will ’11’ remain ’11’? In the case of SYRIZA in a buffer role is the New Left. The ‘11’ have not yet decided. Alexis Charitsis said Luca Katseli is an interesting candidate. But many reactions exist to umbrella executives, with Euclid Chakalotos holding a negative stance regarding his vote. They have constant meetings. The Central Committee may also meet at the weekend. If they finally say “yes”, we may live a thriller because PASOK and SYRIZA can find breasts with breasts. From “Benaceio” to “Fatsio” In the post of the telecritic Popi Diamantakos on Facebook I read that President Katerina Sakellaropoulou and her successor Kostas Tasoulas ate yesterday at noon at the Italian restaurant Fatsio in Pagrati. I looked into it and found out that the two of them have very good relationships and eat together often, other times in Benakio and other times in the Italian restaurant that is the spot of Kostas Tasoulas. Katerina Sakellaropoulos seemed very relaxed. She may have been upset that she did not renew her term at the presidential palace but this comes to a second degree. Daughter of a magistrate, magistrate and herself, she grew up and lived in an environment where duty enters above all, “she has the mentality of the dedicated public servant and in it she submits to it the staff,” as she commented on features in NEWSIT, a person who knows her very well. The Sakellaropoulos – Tasoula meal, the day after the announcement of the nomination of the Speaker of Parliament for the PtD has its own symbolism and is distinguished by political ethos.
