One of the scripts they played in the neo-democratic microcosm was that the reshuffle is almost at the gates. It will be the next step of Kyriakos Mitsotakis after the presidential election. But everything indicates that it is postponed until further notice. “From summer and we see” he was characteristically telling me a close interlocutor of the Prime Minister. He goes after Easter (June) or late August to appear with renewed dynamics on the stage of the Thessaloniki International Fair in September that is a political barometer. Confusion The reasons that will not be made in the coming months are not that it has not seen any gaps and reduced performance of ministers. At this stage, however, the ND KO with Tashoula options for the Presidency of the Republic and Kaklamanis for Speaker of the House is thrilled that it did not do PASOK’s favour for a centre-left solution. At the same time he sees MPs and listens to them by noting names he could use in his next government scheme. Record Nikita About 250 MPs are expected to vote for House Speaker Nikitas Kaklamanis. The vote is scheduled for 12 noon. It is considered a high number after the political opposition caused by Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ decision to propose for the President of the Republic Costas Tasoulas, a politician who does not come from the opposition. It is characteristic that PASOK’s KO only yesterday decided “yes” to Kaklamanis. President Nikos Androulakis’s recommendation was positive, although he accepted suggestions from MPs to vote “present”. “PASOK will not follow the ND in the violation of institutional traditions,” he stressed in K.O. “I suggest we vote Nikita Kaklamanis for Speaker of Parliament by highlighting the different treatment of PASOK’s part institutions”. How parties will vote According to the report made by the column it appears that Nikitas Kaklamanis will be voted on by the parties as follows. “Yes” NW plus Samaras 157 votes. The deleted – independent MP Marios Salmas and almost immediately replied that he will vote for Costas Tasoula for President of the Republic, until yesterday he did not reveal whether he will vote “yes” for Kaklamanis. From PASOK all 31 MPs will vote “yes” as did the independent (delete) Burhan Buran. SYRIZA has decided since Friday to operate institutionally and vote “yes” (26 votes). The ELENIC SOLUTION of Velopoulos says “yes” to Kaklamanis (11 MPs). “Yes” by Spartans (5). The Democracy Movement of Stefanos Kasselakis (5 MPs who joined) plus Evangelos Apostolakis vote Kaklamanis. Of the independents who are at least 23 16 (including Kasselakis MPs) are in favour. Among the independent are: Athena Linou, Petros Pappas, Giannis Sarakiotis, Ranias Thraskias, Areti Papaioannou, Michalis Hurdakis, Pavlos Sarakis, Harris Katsivardas, George Aspiotis, Michalis Gaygiotakis, etc. The KKE (21 MPs) will go to “present” although it had voted for Nikitas Kaklamanis for vice president. But he considers that the position of the chairman of the parliament is a political position and therefore never votes, whoever the person is. The New Left (11) decided yesterday not to vote for Kaklamanis and go to “present”. Dimitris Natsios’ victory in the first place was negative not because of the face, but because it is against government policies. “No” to Kaklamanis and from the Free Sea. There is no way that some of the Members who do not want to vote for him will be absent from the vote. To have an accurate picture of the process: ‘No’ does not exist as a vote. Members shall vote for the name heard or present or absent when they actually want to vote against it. Dear Kostas Tasoulas had last been elected Speaker of Parliament with 249 votes, without tense political climate. So the fact that Nikitas Kaklamanis reaches his own votes by overcoming the party disputes that have arisen between NW and PASOK, shows that an important role – beyond party tactics – played his face. He has not only a long parliamentary course and experience but maintains close relations with his colleagues of all parties. “Let’s see it” Characteristic was the answer he gave to independent MP Michalis Hurdakis (comes from the Freedom Sea) when he informed him that in non-nominal votes the independents do not vote although they reach 23. The 277 of the 300 of the House cannot vote, he stressed. Nowhere does Parliament’s rules prohibit it. The rapporteurs vote for the Members of each party, so 23 stay out. Nikitas Kaklamanis replied to him that he is right and once he settles in his office he will discuss it to find a solution. At Maximus Many New Democracy MPs go and go to Maximus. Their most own man, as I am told, is the secretive of Kyriakos Mitsotakis Thanasis Nezis. He knows as much as anyone else the anthropogeography of the Parliamentary Group and of officials around the country. Members go to Maximus to meet him and discuss with him what concerns them. During the last few days, MPs Maximos Charakopoulos (Larissis), Stavros Papasotiri (Florina), Makarios Lazaridis (Kavalas) Fanny Pappas (b’ Thessaloniki) and others passed the entrance of King George. Too close? In the best words, Stefanos Kasselakis talks with the MP from the Port of Liberty independent Michalis Hurdakis. He is also appreciated by the staff of the president of the Republic Movement. Fermentations are done. Will Hurdakis take the step of joining the Democracy Movement? It’ll show. For now the Movement is under pressure. In Alco’s poll for Alpha he scored a fall, moving around 3%. Today Kasselakis is in Cyprus to present his book “Second chance” with Tasos Trifonos as coordinator. But it’s not just the book. Proposals for the future are also needed.
When will be a reshuffle with about 250 votes elected Kaklamanis Speaker of Parliament today who independent MP discusses with Kasselakis
