Looking ahead to the next day, the latest reshuffle would be completely irrelevant if it did not confirm the scenario on which the Prime Minister is working. Elections in a relatively short period of time, with New Democracy remaining the first party and PASOK the preferred choice of government partner.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis is well aware that if necessary he will not hesitate to sacrifice the Prime Minister's office in order to form a government - as this will be the main condition set by Nikos Androulakis - and he chooses to give the succession ring to Kostis Hadjidakis who fully guarantees the maintenance of the current status quo. A man completely vulnerable after being monitored by the Predator system.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis is trying to plan strategically, in case of defeat, in order to survive the deep system of economic and political power, he has much more to lose than the prime ministry.
The opposition is giving him the field to play freely, with the phrase being heard more and more often from the citizens «Mitsotakis has fallen, who will be next?».
The picture of the opposition today is that if a magician with a wand appeared in front of their benches and made a promise that for 20 years everything would remain as it is, then the majority of them would accept it, even if it meant that Mitsotakis and ND would remain in power.
For the first time since 1974 there is a crisis of political personnel of such a large scale in the progressive area, slowly tending to develop into a crisis of party formations. The signs, of course, have been there for several years.
In 2022, the SYRIZA leadership had in its hands a public opinion survey that, among other things, measured the popularity rating of individuals. It fully reflected the deterioration of SYRIZA's cadre - with the exception of the youngest members - while the comparison even with the most unpopular ministers of New Democracy was a hell of a comparison for the then opposition.
In the presidency of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis suddenly confirms the perception of a deep crisis of its cadre, while the re-election of Nikos Androulakis to the presidency of PASOK came to confirm that the issue now concerns the whole of the progressive space. We are now faced with something unprecedented, where the idea of a progressive government is gaining high percentages in the opinion polls, but the public cannot imagine who they are and who they could potentially govern.
All governments at some point pass a tipping point where the scope for raising their prestige and their ratings becomes dangerously narrow. It is usually at this moment that the next situation emerges, the next «prime ministerial» leader emerges and elections come as a demand for a change of power.
Another paradox that is happening now, the Mitsotakis government seems to have exhausted its options for upgrading, but there is no next in line to demand change, this paradox is unfolding at this time. The people who took to the streets over the Tempi affair have created conditions for accelerating political developments.
The opposition party offices are shaking their hearts and begging their aunts on their knees that the Prime Minister should not go to early elections.
Also paradoxical, isn't it?;
The more anti-Mitsotakism develops in society, the more the opposition parties, instead of giving political content to this reaction, lean towards “Abramopoulosism”.
Surface, rounding and theoretical elegance! In other words, don't let the donkey's tail drip.
This situation is not the result of a misjudgement.
It is a commitment to one's PERSONAL agenda, one's PURPOSE, which they present as a political necessity.
«If developments are going to throw us over the cliff, then let there be Mitsotakis!!» has now become a dogma
