The Kasselakis and friends party, Kasselistas’ annoyance for Polakis, Samaras and Karamanlis do not go to Technological Development, the upgrading of TTH, the first ones of the Greek industry, the unpleasant forecasts Retsu for tourism and the dragged deal Fessa – Chalika

All open! When the only few days president of KO Nikos Pappas, who was stationed there after Socrates Famellus was lifted, to check the Central Committee, states that Stefanos Kasselakis will go to the International Exhibition of Thessaloniki as president of SYRIZA “if he does not fall”, the storm coming is more severe than the one shown by the systems. “We’ll all wait and see what happens at the meeting of the Central Committee,” Pappas told “Society Time mega”. If the lightning rods react that way the game is open to everyone. Signatures The background rages. Kasselakis may think that he has secured the majority of the Central Committee meeting 7-8 September, but no one can predict what Paul Polakis or a third party will do – and enough – to submit a motion of censure. The ’87s’, the approximately 20 ‘politics’ and another 20-30 members of the JV who are not part of any camp, may join forces, but have been fed up and consider that an appeal to the polls will be redemption. Letter? The “87” discuss other scenarios aimed at forcing the president of Syriza to take the initiative. They consider the possibility of gathering over 100-130 signatures in text – catapult with a request for polls. The arithmetic refers to a political thriller and brings a headache to the president of Syriza. He knows that if questioned by nearly half the JV, he will hardly be able to stand, after having already questioned by half the KO. Triandria! Nikos Pappas clearly showed that although he allied with Stefanos Kasselakis, he is not a Casselista and will testify his own view even if he is opposed to the president. With the “good morning”, he questioned the usefulness of the initiative taken by the president of SYRIZA to put, at this time, a question of changing name to a Coalition of Modern Left. “I am not very sure that this should concern us at our Congress,” Pappas stressed. “Changes in statute are more essential issue”. He “vacated” the president of SYRIZA and for his decision to delete Christos Spirtzis. He characterised the tactics of Spirji completely wrong and disagrees deeply with some of his views. But he wouldn’t be in favour of his deletion. “Pappas started his own” commented a typical MP of SYRIZA. Anti-pollution Disturbing Paul Polakis has voiced several Kasselistas. They were shocked by the decision of the president of SYRIZA to take back the deletion of the shakian politician and to reinstate him to KO. “What does the new party that we envisioned together with Stefanos Kasselakis have to do with when Paul Polakis is inside?” they said. The Member of Parliament had no time to return to CO and began the remarks, as they said. He was targeted by SYRIZA MP Alexander Avlonitis, because he did not react aggressively as Polakis would like, in the case of the acquittal of the four accused of illegal recruitment at the KELLPNO, in 2013-2014, under the construction of Adoni Georgiadis. Tragic are also considered his relations with the director of the political office of the president of Syriza, Manos Kapnisakis, a serious man, who is a constant value on the side of Stefanos Kasselakis, also of origin from Chania. Paulakis also refers negatively to him. Personal insult The Kasselistas cannot understand the president of Syriza who wants an alliance with someone who has insulted him and personally not only when he refused to pass the law on marriage of same-sex couples but also recently when referring to the four-day wedding feast he had with his husband Tyler in Chania, Polakis described it with the devaluing phrase “now it is over”, the time came for radical changes in the leadership of SYRIZA-PS etc. “Casselakis and friends” Oil in the fire was fired by Stefanos Kasselakis with his proposals for statutory changes. They accuse him of wanting to turn SYRIZA into a purely leadership party, that he moves to reason “Stephanos drinks, Stephen buys”. The title was given by former secretary of SYRIZA George Vasiliadis speaking of a party “Stephanos and friends” in an interview in “Parapolitan 90.1”. The chief wants to have the first and final word on all instruments. Shotguns! One of the Kasselakis proposals is the right to elect a Member, up to three terms in the same constituency and then move to another, if he wants to continue his parliamentary career. In their third term there are 11 MPs of SYRIZA. If it passes there are caramboles that favour MPs who are close to the president of Syriza. Paul Polakis (Hanias) has three terms, so if he leaves comfortably, the cousin of SYRIZA President Vassilis Kasselakis will come down to the next parliamentary election. Theodora Jackris (Pella) was difficult to elect the third time and thinks about changing the constituency (Thessaloniki or Athens). Socratis Famellus (II Thessaloniki) has three terms that his departure will facilitate the transfer of Peter Pappas who probably also moves to Thessaloniki from Kilkis. Confusio In the third term there are other MPs – allies or opponents of Kasselakis – who probably do not see with good eye the search scenario for a new constituency. Among them are Nikos Pappas (elected in the southern field of Athens), Nina Kasimatis (Piravia), Olga Gerovasili elected to Arta where Syriza earned the highest percentage in the European elections, Kostas Barkas (Preveza), Giannis Sarakiotis (Fthiotida), George Psychogios (Korinthias), Alexander Meikiopoulos (Magnesia) and George Papailiou (Arcadia). Absent persons The two former prime ministers of ND Costas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras are not going to be present in the speech of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the Thessaloniki International Fair on Saturday, September 7. In their joint appearance at the War Museum on 1 July, following the negative election result of the ND in the European elections, they drew dividing lines from the policy pursued by the government on top issues (national, immigration, peers, etc.). Since then no approach has been sought by the Prime Minister, nor has it been felt that he will change his policy on the basis of the principles indicated by the two former Prime Ministers. The polar cold characterizes the relations of Mitsotakis with Karamanlis – Samaras. Last year the two former prime ministers did not give the present to ITH as the entire presence of Kyriakos Mitsotakis lasted only one day because Daniel struck Thessaly. The last time they went to ITH was in September 2022, when Kostas Karamanlis invited Antonis Samaras for dinner after the Mitsotakis speech and both men said so for an hour and came even closer. Information, however, that said that the two former prime ministers are planning a new joint appearance is being denied by both sides. In 2026 the upgrade of the ITH begins The Thessaloniki International Fair opens its gates on Saturday with outdated infrastructure (and outdated commercial strategy…) but by the end of the year the competition for the contractor to undertake the redevelopment of the site with a multi-annual Public and Private Sector Partnership (SIT) will be announced. The aim of the Transfund, which controls the state HELEXPO – INTH is to have selected a contractor within the first half of 2025 so that the projects begin within the next year. It is said that there is interest from companies such as Dimand as the site that currently hosts ITH is planned, in addition to the conference arm, and the construction of office and hotel buildings. This will ensure the sustainability of the project, along with the creation of a Metropolitan Park in the center of Thessaloniki. It remains, of course, to be shown that there will eventually be an interest in a project that will reach 300 million and public participation reaches 120 million euros. Greek firsts in industry Finely written on Facebook by Minister of State Akesh Skertsos. Greece does produce 50% of the chemical medicines oncology in Europe (9-10 million vials), 25% of penicillin drugs (36 million vials) and 30% of cardiometabolic drugs. How Greece holds a 20% share in the European primary aluminium market and in aluminium production controls about 25% of the European market. Also Greece is the second largest producer of copper tube products in Europe by volume? A Greek company based in Evia, with 40 years of international presence, is among the three largest producers in the ceramics sector worldwide. Our country also holds second place in the EU in marble products, ‘raw or roughly cut’. The problem is, however, that these successes, with the exception of drugs, are in areas of low technological value, in sectors with relatively low profit margins. That is why we need other sectors that are leading technologically like domestic pharmaceutical companies with huge investment in research centres. Retsu forecasts for difficult 2025 tourism 2025 will be a difficult year for Greek tourism, which will not be reminiscent of anything in 2022 – 2024 supports the former president of the association of tourism businesses (SETE) Giannis Retsos who is also a key shareholder of the hotels “Electra”. With a post on social networks containing harsh expressions against those who oppose the tourism industry, G.Retsos asks that there be finally a real consultation on tourism in our country that this summer was at the heart of negative publicity with cries of “supertourism” and environmental issues raised by local actors against specific investments in hotel complexes. The column believes that in government and local government they should study more carefully the issues that have arisen not because the former president of SETE and one of the biggest entrepreneurs in the industry is asking for it. Because the first negative messages for the industry and investment in our country already appear. Is it just the electronic building ID? In Briq SAAP they argue that the merger with the ICI SAAP of the Halikia family has not been completed because it is involved in the process of electronic identity building! The investment real estate company of Theod. Fessa and Evg. Koutsourelis of the Quest Group has purchased since the beginning of the year the 17 properties of ICI another merger is delayed. There are various changes in the exchange relationship set out in an ICI share for each 1,42 shares of Briq. Theod. Fessas has bitter experience from earlier business partnerships and is not one of the people who delivers weapons easily. Let’s see where the two shareholders of the SNEs end up. The National Investment Fund will have a significant percentage of the National Bank The percentage of the National Bank that will not sell the Financial Stability Fund (FIS) within the next month will be transferred to the National Investment Fund. Since the SAA will absorb TAIPED and the TCS will be found with the dowry of the shares of the National Investment Fund. How much will that percentage be? Yesterday’s Reuters report said the government plans to allocate between 10% and 13% of the National Bank according to demand. Today the TCS has 18.4%. The share will be sold in the process of the book building processes and public offering.
