The challenge for Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA is twofold

By Niki Zorba

The “strategy of tension” followed by SYRIZA towards N.D. In the last few days, with the sharpening of the opposition tones and through a show in the Parliament, they assure from Koumoundourou that it will be replaced by a return to a programmatic confrontation from now on, with a peak, this time, to be exact.

Accuracy

SYRIZA is not limited (as it did during the debate in Parliament on the motion of censure it submitted) to war declarations against the Maximos Palace, but recalls its proposals for a reduction in the excise tax on fuel, an increase in the minimum wage, a state intervention for of PPC tariffs, reduction of VAT to the minimum rate for basic food and consumption items, these shortlisted by the president of SYRIZA on Friday, on his trip to the market in Nice.

Their main goal remains to deconstruct the prime ministerial and governmental profile on issues on which the bar for the ruling party has been de facto raised: “technocratic effective management on all critical fronts”. In terms of accuracy as a whole, Koumoundourou believes that inefficiency in dealing with it hits the soft underbelly of the government: the representation of the middle class and entrepreneurship.

The main a challenge for Mr Tsipras and his party, Of course, it remains to be seen how they will capitalize on government corruption to this audience and, above all, how to convince them that they have better tools in order to attract it.

The harvest so far from the “relaxation” of the anti-SYRIZA front remains poor for the main opposition party. It will come out of the presidential drawer more coherently, say from the headquarters of Koumoundourou, what Alexis Tsipras described in very rough lines from the floor of Parliament (the message was “hated”, after all, the quarrel and the polarization with the government): ∆ you are not able to build the state and nothing public, because you do not believe in the state and public infrastructure.

This will be a confrontation with the dilemmas posed by the ND, whenever they decide to SYRIZA that it is indeed the time for a return to political confrontation and not quarrelsome micropolitical management.

Alexis Tsipras, however, according to his associates, with an “opposition spear” to be precise, will intensify his pressure on the government by insisting on the adoption of his proposals.

Inside the party

Koumoundourou denies allegations that SYRIZA is hungry back to “scandal agenda. the event not as a strategic choice, but as a case-by-case phenomenon: “When issues of corruption and scandals arise, we will not ignore them.” April 17, from 31/3 that was initially decided, due to lack of available space – as Koumoundourou says), the challenge for the president of SYRIZA is to convince the minority executives of his intentions.

The motion of censure may have brought a temporary “freeze” in the debate within the party, but the opposition within the party is coming back stronger: “Umbrella” is holding a nationwide conference this Sunday in anticipation of the congress to decide on its “strategy” from now on. From the text she published the day before yesterday, it appears first that she insists on her disagreement with the election of a president by the members of SYRIZA and mainly on the election of the Central Committee, through the same method. They reposition it as a crucial topic in the debate the ideological profile of SYRIZA (“no” to a “supermarket” party) and insist on valuing the last two years. Commonly, the opposition tactics of the party from the defeat in the national polls until today.
