It’s now fairly apparent that the tactic utilized by SYRIZA on the highway to the European referendum is a technique of nationwide elections. Though the stake issues the way forward for Europe, and Greece inside it, Stefanos Kasselakis along with the management crew that surrounds him have diminished – with out hiding it – the battle of June 9 to a primary try to overthrow the federal government’s 41%.
Koumoundourou continually tries to be one step forward of her “nice rival” and to not observe her in order to achieve impressions a minimum of within the communication sport. The publication of the primary three election spots have positioned at their core the citizen, as a Greek mainly not a lot as a European, and the plan for the instant enchancment of his home day by day life.
The “Higher Life” within the foreground
SYRIZA officers don’t wish to waste time and are pinning their hopes on a rise, if not an explosion, of the odds on the slogan “Higher Life Now”. In different phrases, it’s comprehensible that the large European image is taking a again seat in the interim.
The president of the official opposition has set his sights on energy and seeks to use each attainable crack of decay for New Democracy, outlining himself as the one different to the prime ministership.
The technique is delineated round this complete body. Clearly well being, but additionally nationwide points particularly are – and can stay – excessive on the agenda for the subsequent 3.5 weeks. As a result of they make use of a pretty big portion of the “common” voters claimed by the faction from the center-right pool. Presidentially, SYRIZA now defines itself as a celebration of the patriotic Left and inside this framework it acts or reacts.
The financial system is an electoral weapon
On the identical time, nevertheless, the financial system is the most important “lure” on which his narrative has been constructed each earlier than and after the European elections.
The basic axes are two. To be exact, Koumoundourou has already positioned herself earlier than Easter, even submitting the request for a pre-scheduled debate within the Parliament, which was lastly scheduled for Friday, Might 24.
After all St. Kasselakis will probably be absent from this nice “debate” of political leaders. He tries to beat this impediment by his statements and interventions.
Within the total plan of the official opposition, he had in actual fact spoken of “a costed, clear and instantly implementable proposal” which goals to show whether or not Kyriakos Mitsotakis “is with society or with the speculators”. He then reiterated the necessity to management surplus income and impose levies on corporations with surpluses, the adjustment of the VAT and the adoption of reliefs for farmers.
As he heard being advised in Xanthi, whereas touring Thrace and Japanese Macedonia, the employees are requested to do “two or three jobs to make ends meet”.
Tax cuts and… the place are you from?
SYRIZA made a robust entry into the tax sector by its press consultant, Voulas Kehagia. In actual fact, the presentation of the proposals is already being ready on prime of all people who his chief had made public now and again in a sequence of his varied interviews.
That is precisely the subsequent stage of pre-election criticism of the federal government. The purpose is for the official opposition to reappear a lot nearer to society, extra conscious of the foremost issues and sympathetic to the ND’s relentless liberal politics.
The proposals that will probably be placed on paper, earlier than the high-profile debate in Parliament, will probably be stuffed with tax breaks and tax reductions in order to instantly increase the earnings of residents and small or medium-scale entrepreneurs. A key weapon in all of that is the promise to abolish upfront earnings tax, together with a steep lower within the rental tax charge to five% on incomes from homes as much as 12,000.
Based on St. Kasselaki, the whole lot is costed and absolutely documented. As would be the assertion of his particular person “whereabouts”, which “there may be an goal to make public earlier than the European elections” as Mrs. Kehagia defined to Action24, explaining that the required paperwork are nonetheless being collected with a view to take away even the slightest shadow.
