For this month it is a month of significant developments, as it is expected that the outcome of the EMP will be submitted, while there will be new mobilisations on the day of the sad anniversary of 28 February, where 57 people died tragicly from the collision of the two trains in . In this context SYRIZA is intensifying his pressure on the government, as he insists that the pre-daily debate be defined in the House, while his officials continue to raise a number of questions that arose after the Prime Minister’s interview. Koumoundouros spokeswoman, George Karameros, addressing the ministers and MPs to whom the Prime Minister referred indirectly, raised a number of questions about Tembis such as: CORVERSE Hellenic Train was the source and partner of the government, right after the accident? There was no ministry? What was the “good cause” that Mr Mitsotakis told us about? Has she been pressured to be a “bad moment” for the House of Inquiry to be its president, then? An Examiner, who instead of revealing the truth, called it a “grindic”, I remind you, because she produced ministers. Whose responsibilities did the exam hide? Whose responsibilities did he hide? Whose responsibilities did society’s misdirection of flammables hide and whose responsibilities did the sound montager hide? These must be answered in Parliament, not in the panels. And not wait for Mr. Mitsotakis. At the same time, however, the officials of Koumoundourou appear to study the figures of polls according to which voters appear to qualify for the co-government SYRIZA – PASOK and New Left. SYRIZA officials give a special basis for where citizens appear positive in a government of cooperation, while saying not to self-sufficients of both the NW and PASOK. In particular, 39% want a government of cooperation, 21.4% self-reliance government, while another says 23.4% and I don’t know, I don’t answer 16.2% Typically, 25.1% want a PASOK – SYRIZA co-operation government and smaller parties on the Left, 7.4% co-government of ND and PASOK, while the 6.5 ND cooperation government and smaller right-wing parties. Still, 15.5% wants self-sufficient ND and 5.9% self-sufficient PASOK. CORVERSE George Karameros referred, in fact, to the issue said that: “There may have been various, there may be bitterness, there may have been disagreements, there may have been mistakes on both sides, but right now the country needs a major opposition in the House and obviously in society, which Syriza does and tries, both the New Left and all progressive forces, in the way they understand. Socrates Famellus said it is necessary to coordinate progressive parties and for the crime of the Tempes.” Most in Koumoundourou appear to have received the message, but they do not know how to manage the whole story, since on one hand PASOK appears to want to move autonomously, while the New Left is divided. In the last twenty-four hours, however, on the occasion of the Tempes, contacts between the leaderships of these parties have increased, although there is no light for more. Trikoupis appear to be on guard because they realize that on the side of Koumoundurus there are movements of questioning the vital space. Thus, Nikos Androulakis appeared to say yes to the proposals for a debate in Parliament at the level of political leaders, but also to the proposal of mistrust, without following Socrates Famelos in his initiatives. Since this story appears to have a psychological background, everything shows that the two parties have a long way to go to find themselves in a clearing. On the other hand, a possible settlement between SYRIZA and New Left is possible if problems with the executives of the “Ombrella” are overcome, since they react to the collusion scenarios. Kumundurus officials consider that developments should run quickly, as Syriza should return to the position of the main opposition. They even set as a timetable in May when the party conference will take place. If by then these scenarios have not progressed, there is no way that any discussion about the return of New Left officials to SYRIZA will be wrecked, especially if we enter an election period. Throughout this whole scene, the reactivation of Alexis Tsipras creates expectations, but also questions for those who cannot understand the continuity. The former Prime Minister will, however, be in Thessaloniki after the Athens rule of law event in order to give part of the money prize he had received in 2022 for the Prespes agreement to the student with the best diplomatic work.
Syriza received the message of the polls and “throws the ball” in PASOK and New Left
