Grinberg Advises Against Early Elections Amid Internal Party Tensions

American communications guru of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Stan Grinberg, has strongly advised against early elections, as revealed by LiveNews’ Nikos Evangelatos on MEGA. Grinberg believes the prime minister should avoid premature elections, a stance shared by Mitsotakis according to governmental sources. Many ministers and MPs also consider an early electoral move suicidal. The political landscape resembles quicksand, with New Democracy (ND) showing a downward trend since the European elections, recording its worst polling numbers since January 26, following the two-year anniversary commemoration of the Tempi tragedy. Meanwhile, Zoi Konstantopoulou’s rise is not seen as coincidental by the American strategist, who predicts her party won’t fall below 10%. With ND lacking a clear program and members, the electorate’s emotional voting could drastically alter predictions if punitive votes dominate. Grinberg, analyzing focus groups from Greece while in the USA, suggests ND has one last chance over the next months to recover. If unsuccessful, the situation may become irreversible before the next elections. Key announcements are planned for September’s Thessaloniki International Fair, aiming to stabilize the government’s standing. Despite potential budget constraints, public sector wage increases and pensions remain on the table. While some within ND advocate for immediate elections, others warn of severe consequences if the decline continues. A new bill will restrict single men or same-sex male couples from using surrogate mothers to prevent human trafficking risks. This aligns with ND’s rightward shift under Mitsotakis’ leadership. Efforts to placate conservative factions include outreach to MPs ahead of the parliamentary group meeting on April 4. Approximately 30-40 ‘rebels’ are estimated among the ranks, but the situation appears under control.
