Circles of Harilaou Trikoupis responded to Odysseus Konstantinopoulos but in addition to Pavlos Geroulanos and Nadia Giannakopoulos who, following the European elections, expressed their doubts concerning the technique adopted.
PASOK: Konstantinopoulos raises the problem of management
“PASOK is in want of extroversion actions, which isn’t served by hasty and coordinated public interventions by those that allegedly intervene with the institutional capabilities of the establishments”, Harilaou Trikoupi’s circles report and proceed: “We is not going to enable the faction to sink into introversion and every little thing that was constructed with efforts and sacrifices lately, to be misplaced in a number of days. In any case, respect for statutory capabilities and provisions is the guarantor of unity. The schedule of proceedings shall be adopted to the letter in accordance with the statute. The problem now might be the honest evaluation of the election consequence to be able to draw fruitful conclusions and to construct the social gathering’s technique and the actions for the reconstruction of the democratic faction”.

The entire letter
Expensive Secretary
Associates of the Political Council
A couple of days following the European elections, I made a decision to share some ideas with you regarding the way forward for the faction.
No private anxiousness concerning the future, however anxiousness concerning the faction.
The messages of the European elections have been clear to everybody.
• New Democracy not solely didn’t obtain its purpose, however the election consequence was for it a message of disapproval for its insurance policies and attitudes. It retains her alive, that the opposition events haven’t satisfied the individuals.
• The social gathering of Mr. Kasselakis, which following the departure of the executives obtained a single-digit share within the polls, registered a share of 14.9% within the European elections, having a distinct political viewers that has nothing to do with the progressive area.
• The far-right as an entire surpasses the second social gathering when it comes to percentages, “caging” 700,000 individuals, and is getting ready to comply with the trail of different far-right events in Europe, in the direction of energy.
The faction fought one other essential electoral battle. And he gave it with a transparent political stake: that PASOK – refusing to be trapped within the political entrenchment of a celebration of protest or sterile negativism, i.e. to show right into a “KKE of the middle” – as President N. Androulakis had aptly identified – is prospectively looking for, and in view of the following parliamentary elections, to look the ND within the eye and distinction a convincing different counterproposal for the governance of the nation.
Permit me a bit evaluation of the chances from 2015:
In January 2015 within the Nationwide Elections our social gathering obtained 4.7% (with 290,000 votes) and everyone seems to be speaking concerning the finish of PASOK.
However within the Nationwide Elections in September 2015 he obtained 6.3% (with 342,000 votes, i.e. with 52,000 extra votes).
Within the nationwide elections of July 2019 PASOK with 8.1% elevated voters by 115,000 in comparison with 2015 to 458,000 (a rise of 34%) when SYRIZA misplaced 145,000 voters, whereas New Democracy additionally massively elevated voters by 725,000 reaching 2,250,000 voters.
Within the 2023 elections, we had one other enhance that confirms the regular upward development of the faction, since we once more bought a double-digit share.
Nevertheless, the 160,000 further voters in June 2023 in comparison with 2019 fall far in need of the 851,000 voters who left SYRIZA and the 136,000 who left New Democracy, which in complete add as much as 1 million voters.
As well as, this can be very problematic that within the European elections PASOK misplaced 168,000 voters.
New Democracy misplaced regarding 1.3 million voters out of two.4 million voters in Could 2023.
SYRIZA misplaced regarding 592,000 voters out of 1,184,000 voters in Could 2023.
Marginal rise with 0.95% shouldn’t be underestimated by anybody. However in no case does it present an inclination to accumulate majority traits.
It’s the third electoral contest beneath the present management that the city facilities have the identical image when it comes to percentages.
The intervention of the events within the city facilities is finished primarily by the central political picture that you simply transmit and can’t be coated solely organizationally. The marketing campaign, the slogan and wherein media you reproduce it are crucial.
Our social gathering’s purpose of second place within the European elections was not achieved. Does the excessive stakes stay?
In fact. It’s a political obligation of all progressive residents, of all essentially the most actively concerned executives, and much more so of established and traditionally charged political events, reminiscent of PASOK, to proceed to insist that:
• The Greeks, our nation and our democracy deserve a counterproposal of governance that’s totally different when it comes to signal and priorities.
• We can’t enable the coordinated evolution of the political methods of nearly all of European nations, highlighting the dominant forces of the intense proper, intolerance and Euroscepticism, to happen in an emphatic method in our nation as properly. We is not going to let the intense proper be discovered throughout the suitable, and for that there is no such thing as a time to waste.
The faction should benefit from the political time and never waste it till the nationwide elections. PASOK has procedures for the election of management in 2025. On the similar time, there have to be a provision for the growth within the area of the center-left.
• The growth and unification of forces within the area of the center-left should have primary traits that can unite it. Progressive and patriotic insurance policies.
• Enlargement shouldn’t be an addition of numbers, percentages or MPs, which shall be towards the recent common will.
• To succeed, he should act on rules and values. In any other case there’s a danger of it showing as a ‘chairs’ deal.
I make it clear that for me Mr. Kasselakis has nothing to do with the centre-left. However there are dozens of executives on the central stage and hundreds on the base that we may “stroll” collectively. However primarily it’s the greater than 2 million residents who didn’t go to vote and it’s the individuals of the middle, as much as the renewing left.
All of this, to be able to be finished, requires clear options, in addition to management that has time forward of it.
Let’s be sincere, there are executives, who do exist, and who’ve ambitions to guide PASOK and the Heart-Left. It occurred prior to now, it occurs now. We all know {that a} lengthy pre-election interval would create introversion.
With my proposal, the management that shall be chosen may have the entire 12 months forward of them to advance the processes with recent common will.
I want to recall the instance of Fofi Gennimata who was elected in July 2015 and in an effort to develop the faction, following 2 years in November 2017 she put her mandate on the disposal of the residents, with the participation of then President Nikos Androulakis, whereas had a constructive, for the season, results of 6.29%, from 4.6%.
Right now it’s crucial to not enable the waters to stagnate and to not develop into slowed down.
We want a robust reboot! A brand new sturdy legitimizing order to place into observe the good PASOK of our expectations, with management that mobilizes broader social forces.
Due to this fact, I request instantly, throughout the subsequent week, that the our bodies of PASOK convene, and resolve on the precise schedule: The electoral procedures for the management of the faction, supplied for within the statute for 2025, be accelerated, in order that by the tip of this 12 months, that each these and the following Congress for the promotion of our insurance policies and the election of our collective our bodies have been accomplished.
Restart management, political, organizational, for PASOK and the good faction of the Heart Left!
Associates
It is time to face the reality. Not with evasions, however with actual perspective. Solely then will we see clearly the way forward for the faction. “KKE of the Heart” or a Authorities proposal that can rally wider forces and develop into a majority.
The selection is in our fingers

“De facto management is accountable”
“Obligations in politics are goal. The duty lies with the de facto management and it’s the one which was rejected by the physique politic”, emphasizes Nikos Papandreou in his article on protothema.gr.
And he continues: “At this important second for our social gathering, pals and members, the true base of PASOK, should communicate immediately. The issues are rising and society can’t wait. Historical past leaves the unwilling behind.”
As he factors out, “consecutive elections have been dominated by micro-politics, private and favoritism methods. This led to divisions that ran by the social gathering from the cadres to the bottom of its pals. None of that is in keeping with PASOK’s values. The society is aware of this, which within the latest elections, rejected them in each method”.
