At 12 noon, the latter was welcomed to former Prime Minister Costas Simitis, with the political leadership in the Athens Metropolis almost solid. By decision of the former Prime Minister’s family, who stood beside him modestly and far from the lights of publicity, until the end, his body was not put on a popular pilgrimage. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called Daphne Simitis on Sunday to convey her condolences and asked her if the family wishes to give a eulogy. He willingly accepted. The President of the Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, President of PASOK, Nikos Androulakis, the former Minister, Professor, Tassos Giannitsis, and the professors and friends of the former Prime Minister, Giannis Voulgaris and Konstantinos Tsukalas will address eulogy. Konstantopoulos candidacy A lot of discussion was caused by the statement of the president of the Port of Freedom, Zoe Konstantopoulou to propose for President of Democracy the former president of the Coalition and distinguished legal officer Nikos Konstantopoulos. “I think that a personality in the modern history of Greece that ensures what we would all like and all citizens ask, is my father Nikos Konstantopoulos,” said in Action24. “He is an autonomous political man and of course his course is not determined by what I believe. He is a person who has given a sample of writing over time.” It’s not an official proposal, because she didn’t ask her father’s permission before, as she explained. The background This is not the first time, however, that the proposal for the nomination of Nikos Constantopoulos for the presidency of the Republic has been put on the table. Kostas Karamalis had thought about it in 2004. He greatly appreciated the former president of the Coalition. But there were many reactions even among his ministers, arguing that it is possible for the party to propose a left for president. Theodore Rousopoulos was one of the few in favour of the nomination of Constantine. Finally, Karamanlis retreated and suggested that former Foreign Minister and close friend of Andreas Papandreou Karolo Papoulias . It opened the way for the presidential palace, that he was out of politics, lost his seat for a few votes in the parliamentary elections. ‘Go ahead’ In 2015 when Alexis Tsipras proposed to Zoe Konstantopoulou for Speaker of the Parliament, before accepting she went to her father and asked him what to do, because if she were voted he would come out of the race for the presidency of the Republic. “Don’t talk about it, accept, go ahead,” he replied. Nikos Constantopoulos was thus encouraging with his daughter and when she left SYRIZA and when she moved on to her own political project. “Life is worth a lot, I’m proud” he said. PASOK for Sakellaropoulou! There is no doubt that PASOK, if Kyriakos Mitsotakis proposes Evangelos Venizelos as President of the Republic, will vote for him. It would be impossible to deny it to a former president. However, so far it has been mentioned more in current President Katerina Sakellaropoulos. They even ask the Prime Minister if he does not propose to explain the reasons. A proposal for Venizelos would undoubtedly accentuate the central profile of Mitsotakis and this is measured in PASOK. However, as a former Minister of the Simitis government commented in the newssit.gr, and Sakellaropoulos was also strengthened by Mitsotakis because it would show that despite the risk of leaks he insists on a centre-left choice found in the cyclone’s vortex for the marriage of same-sex couples brought by the government while aware of the internal social reactions. Nikos’ bet The two lines with which PASOK appeared against the inappropriate statements of the Voice Venus Latinopoulou for Kostas Simitis showed that Nikos Androuliakis has open bets in front of him. The official PASOK by mouth of Kostas Tsukalas’ representative pointed out that “they should not pay attention to her, this is a faid situation, she seeks to gain minutes of publicity by caressing the ears to far-right audiences” as he pointed out in newsit.gr. But Anna Diamantopoulou acted more aggressively. He left spikes for PASOK’s voice and expressed concern as to whether he should review his tactics. Tons reportedly fell after communication of the two sides and a small retreat of Anna Diamantopoulou. There are generally two schools of thought. Diamantopoulou is closer to the center and modernization of Simitis and a piece of PASOK that sees most on its left. The president of Syriza Socrates Famelos also bets on it. He rushed to meet Mayor of Athens Harry Duke to support him and publicly against increasing charges for garbage. Right meter In the centre-right apartment building the right meter has been taken in hand. Adonis Georgiadis does not leave Venus Latinopoulou on a green branch and she does not let anything down. Velopoulos is in the middle of something. Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants to consult on the issue of the President of the Republic only with PASOK, after the institutional turn and the openings that Androulakis has made since his re-election. Kasselakis In the well-known tavern of Nikos in Akorani, the president of the Movement Stefanos Kasselakis was seen on the eve of Theophanies. He was with his husband Tyler and they ate company with Mars Spiliotopoulos who is a strategic communication consultant, and Kasselakis. They said them for a long time while enjoying Nikos’ specialties. The tavern, that night, was inter-party. Manolis Christodoulakis of PASOK ate at another table with his company. Casselakis didn’t meet because he left earlier. But they greeted Mars Spiliotopoulos. On January 16, the book of the president of the Republic Movement is released. He’s focused there. As soon as it’s released, they’ll start fires. But it’s not enough to keep him in the news for a long time. He must take the great political steps he needs to endure until the 2027 elections where he will be judged in the polls.
The last wave to Costas Simitis Zoe suggests for PtD Constantopoulos an unknown background from the Karamanlis era with whom Kasselakis ate in Boreani
