Tasoulas and Venizelos the favourites for the Presidency of the Republic: Wednesday or Thursday the announcements Mitsotakis

At a meeting with close associates during the weekend (11.01. 25 – 12.01. 25) the Prime Minister will discuss the decision he has made about the person he will propose for . Conversators of Kyriakos Mitsotakis are confident that his decision and what remains to be seen are whether the nomination for the Presidency of the Republic will come from the blue tank or from the Central Left area. CORVERSE In the first case, a more prominent nomination is reportedly the Speaker of the Parliament Costas Tsassoula, who is believed to be confident to be supported by the KO of the NW, and is likely to be voted for by MPs on the right side of the NW or by independent MPs. However, he will certainly not have the support of PASOK, which has made it clear that he will not vote for the Prime Minister’s party choice, obviously not the support of Syriza either. Since Mr Mitsotakis chooses a nomination, which enjoys broad consensus, i.e. to be voted by over 180 positive votes, then it is obvious that his choice will be made by the right hand of the Central Left. CORVERSE In this case, he is alleged to be the former president of PASOK Evangelos Venizelos, a political figure of greater prestige, with significant contacts in decision centres outside Greece, who could play an important role in this crucial geopolitical and political context for our country. Katerina Sakellaropoulou’s name appears not to be playing loudly at the discussion table. The announcement is expected to be made by a taped message Wednesday, January 15th, following the Prime Minister’s meeting with the current President of the Republic, during which he will also announce his choice, without excluding January 16th. Then, 17 and 18 of the month, he will leave for Berlin, where he will hold meetings with the leaders of the PPE.
