After the results of the European elections, where New Democracy fell below the bar it had set, blue voices calling for a closer approach to the party’s traditional audience increased. During the five-hour meeting of the ND Parliamentary Group. Deputies focused on the need to return to our roots.
In this context, there are deputies who would view the choice of a person positively with center-right profile for Presidency of the Republic and opened the relevant discussion.
It should be remembered that before the European elections, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, answering a question about her Katerina Sakellaropoulou, had noted “I have a very good relationship with the President of the Republic and I think she performs her duties very well and I will continue to do so”. However, the matter has not been closed and recently related discussions in the blue pits have increased, with deputies also publicly
Your statement is indicative Noti Mitarakis that “there are many notable figures from the center-right, who have a historical background in politics, who could be candidates for President of the Republic. I think this is a discussion that should be maintained when it matures.”
At the same time, a report from the MP was also discussed. Giorgos Vlachosy at the recent meeting of the Parliamentary Group, which reportedly said that its position on issues that were not explained in detail should not be taken for granted (a reference that also seems to enter the debate on the Presidency of the Republic).
“The new President of the Republic must be someone who knows how to unite and synthesize” stated the Vice Minister of Digital Governance in a recent interview Konstantinos Kyranakis. He added that “the faction has people who from time to time, and whenever they have governed, have proven in practice that they have been able to serve national purposes much better than the partisans.”
Next to Miltos Chrysomalis observed that historically “those Presidents of the Republic who came from politics offered something much more to the institution than those who did not come from politics. Maybe we should look for people who come from politics.” In fact, when asked whether An. Samaras or K. Karamanlis could belong to this category, he replied “obviously”, saying that “politicians from other areas could also, but we also have many from our faction.”
The government considers the discussion premature
The scenario caught fire and names are already being discussed in the wells, such as that of the former prime minister Karamanlis Backin Panagiotis Pikrammenou or the President of Parliament Konstantinou Tasoula.
However, the government wants to end the relevant debate – they consider it too early – and focus on a series of other current issues. “It is an extremely premature discussion. There is no point in discussing the institution of the President of the Republic for six months, perhaps even longer”, observed government representative Pavlos Marinakis.
At this juncture, however, the party in power wants to focus on the next day and is trying to move forward. The message being sent is that the doors are open and the prime minister will initiate a series of contacts with deputies (20 people), at the same time that there are changes in the general secretaries.
