Mitsotakis, PASOK, and the Next Day in Greek Politics

Tasos Karamitsos analyzes the potential political developments in Greece after the next elections, focusing on PASOK's stance and the challenges for Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

In his article, Karamitsos examines Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' statements regarding the difficulty of reaching an understanding with the opposition, including PASOK, and the potential impact of this situation on the country's governance.

The author raises the question of what will happen if the next elections do not result in a single-party government. He mentions that, according to polls, New Democracy is expected to be the leading party and PASOK the second, but cooperation between them seems difficult due to PASOK's negative attitude.

Karamitsos wonders whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis will be forced to form a government with Velopoulos or whether there will be a short-term grand coalition. He points out the risks to the economy and national issues in the event of political instability.

He emphasizes that citizens expect a different opposition from PASOK compared to other parties and expresses the view that a strong PASOK should be close to power and impose its terms on governance.

He also refers to PASOK's criticism of OPEKEPE and wonders whether Nikos Androulakis would be willing to cooperate in a coalition government under these circumstances.
