PASOK: The battle of signatures – How many did the presidential candidates collect? – 2024-09-10 14:04:43

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

At 17:00, the submission of signatures by the candidate leaders of PaSoK to EDEKAP began, a process that essentially ended at 20:30 and typically at 21:00, Monday night.

The first to testify was Michalis Katrinis, followed by Nadia Giannakopoulou, Anna Diamantopoulou, Pavlos Geroulanos, Haris Doukas and finally the current president of PaSoK, Nikos Androulakis. In fact, Michalis Katrinis was the only one who went in person and submitted the signatures, while the other candidates submitted with representatives.

Details of the signatures collected by the candidates

Nikos Androulakis submitted 24,810 thousand signatures from party members and 170 members of the 300-member Central Committee of the party. Mr. Androulakis also made a related post where he described the central stake of the internal party elections on October 6 in a video he posted on social media. He symbolically chose to be filmed in the local organization of Aianis Kozani, which was one of the first organizations of PaSoK in 1974 in the prefecture and reopened its offices a year ago, as happened in many corners of the country where hundreds of local organizations reopened. “I came here to symbolize my unlimited appreciation and respect towards the thousands of ordinary people of the PASOK, who kept the Democratic Party standing during the difficult years, and to ask them to renew our relationship of trust on October 6 and 13. Because together we can go even stronger, even higher” notes Nikos Androulakis in his message.

From his side Harry Doukas submitted 100 signatures of members of the party’s Central Political Committee, a number which, as he emphasizes in his announcement, is twice the limit of 15% of KPE members provided for in article 28 of the PASoK statute. As his entourage points out, they have collected many thousands of signatures of support. The final number will be announced in the coming days

As for him Pavlos Gerulanosubmitted 7,962 signatures to EDEKAP.

OR Anna Diamantopoulou submitted 7,000 signatures.

THE Michalis Katrinis submitted 14,001 signatures to EDEKAP. “It is a resounding response to the attempts to manipulate the elections in PaSoK, since Mr. Katrinis far exceeded the limit of 5,000 signatures required – based on the statute – for those who run for office, by submitting 14,000 signatures, with full names, addresses and contact information”, emphasize associates of Mr. Katrinis

OR Nadia Giannakopoulou submitted 8,286 signatures

What is happening with Kanellakis?

At the same time, Yiannis Kanellakis sent a letter to EDEKAP asking for his candidacy to be accepted without having submitted a candidacy so far.

With the collection of signatures, their identification and nominations, PaSoK enters the final stretch for the internal party elections on October 6. In addition, when the president of PaSoK Nikos Androulakis returns from D.E.Th. and the Central Committee is completed on the 15th of the month, developments are also expected in the matter of the debate.

The announcement of EDEKAP

The filing of nominations for the election of the President of the PaSoK-Movement for Change on October 6, 2024 was completed today, Monday at 21:00 pm.

Their application for candidacy accompanied by member signatures was submitted by:

1. Androulakis Nikos: 171 signatures of KPE members and 24,810 signatures of members
2. Geroulanos Pavlos: 7,962 member signatures
3. Giannakopoulou Nadia: 8,286 member signatures
4. Diamantopoulou Anna: 7,000 member signatures
5. Doukas Haris: 100 signatures of KPE members
6. Katrinis Michalis: 14,001 member signatures

The submission of a total of more than 62,000 signatures foreshadows massive participation in the upcoming election process, which will strengthen the role of PaSoK-Movement for Change in the political life of the country.

The Ethics Committee for the Implementation of the Statute and Certification (EDEKAP) will immediately proceed with the verification of the signatures and the announcement of the candidates in the next few days.

PaSoK: The messages of the signatures – Bey and the captains of Athens – 2024-09-10 05:23:02

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The first act in this complex scene of the internal processes in the PASOK has been completed. The organizing staffs of the gladiators collected the signatures required by article 28 of the statute and now the candidates enter the final stretch. In less than a month, PaSoK has elections, but only one of the 6 candidates will sit on the chair of the 6th floor of Harilaou Trikoupi. Where Andreas Papandreou sat first.

A total of 62,330 signatures were sent, on the 4th floor of Harilaou Trikoupi, where the EDEKAP office is. In the next few hours, the body responsible for the faithful observance of the statute, is called to carry out sample checks that will update the correctness of the procedure and then it will have to announce the nominations.

Androulaki’s display of power

The president of PaSoK, Nikos Androulakis, submitted 24,810 signatures of support from the base of the faction and another 171 members of the Central Committee. The move was interpreted by many as a show of strength, as Mr. Androulakis reached 25,000 signatures, more than any other candidate. At the same time, the 171 members of the Central Committee are a telling element that, despite the questioning and the early recourse to the polls, it largely maintains its power in the highest governing body of the party. He announced the submission of the signatures himself through a video he uploaded on social media. This particular video was filmed at the new offices of PASOK in Aiani Kozani, a place he found during his tour.

The party message of Haris Doukas

Power in K.E. showed that Haris Doukas has it too. The Mayor of the city of Athens chose to submit only 100 signatures of members of the K.E. Thus showing that about 1/3 of the faction’s top organ has a reference to it. Something that was not the case a year ago. In fact, these signatures are twice the limit of 15% provided by the statute. The smolization of the internal opposition and its expression in his person, officially constitute the creation of a pole within the PASOK, and at the same time one of the messages of yesterday’s process.

Also, it is worth mentioning that Mr. Doukas did not provide signatures of support from the grassroots, even though he ran a campaign in the previous period. Campaign that even had targeted sponsored social media posts. His staff emphasize that they have collected thousands of signatures and that the exact number will be announced in the coming days. However, whatever number of signatures is announced by the Duke camp, this cannot be checked, nor confirmed by EDEKAP, as the process is clear and no additions are now allowed. According to members of EDEKAP, Mr. Doukas, like all the candidates, could submit the signatures until yesterday at 21:00.

The names of the captains of Athens

One of the people who signed in favor of Haris Doukas is the deputy mayor of Athens for cleaning, but also a member of the Political Council Roxani Beyfor which many believed that she would be on the side of Nikos Androulakis. The mayor of Athens is also supported by the deputy mayor of Education Paris Charlautis who comes from the same school as the president of PaSoK. These are some of the names that were discussed in the corridors of Harilaou Trikoupi and brought satisfaction to the Dukas camp.

However, the open support of some members of the faction of the Mayor of Athens to Nikos Androulakis has caused a sensation. One of these persons is the deputy mayor of finance George Giannaros who signed in favor of Androulakis, as did the authorized advisors Popi Yiannopoulou, Dimitra Sideris, Christina Vassiliou, Mina Funjula. At the same time, the chairman of the Municipal Council Manolis Velegrakis and the vice mayor of infrastructure Andreas Grammatikogiannis have also expressed themselves openly in favor of the candidacy of Nikos Androulakis, while the mandated advisor Tryfon Kavvathas supports Michael Katriniswhich shows that the Duke faction has significant cracks on the way to the October 6 ballot.

The surprise

One of the facts that surprised anyone who follows the internal affairs of PaSoK is the number of signatures collected by Michalis Katrinis. Mr. Katrinis, who is also the only candidate to be elected MP from the province, submitted a total of 14,001 signatures. A big number, which surprised many and did not go unnoticed through the corridors of Harilaou Trikoupi. Mr. Katrinis was also the only candidate who went in person to the offices of PaSoK

A standard procedure

His associates Pavlos Geroulanos they submitted 7,962 signatures, a number that had been leaked early on. Mr. Geroulanos is these days on a tour in Thessaloniki which gives a great base and on Wednesday he will be in Vellideio to attend the speech of the president of PaSoK. At the time of the deposit of the signatures, he made a speech to present his plan for the economy, which is also the important political event of the day for him and his associates.

Anna Diamantopoulou 7,000 signatures, which is enough to be a candidate and to provoke the debate she wants. After all, this is what he said in a meeting with journalists that he had late at night in a well-known bar in the downtown area.

Her associates Nadias Giannakopoulou they presented 8,300 signatures as she is also on tour, while Yannis Kanellakis requested in his letter that EDEKAP accept his candidacy.

Pavlos Geroulanos met with the Mayor of Piraeus, Yiannis Moralis – 2024-09-09 03:01:58

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

With the Mayor of Piraeus, Yiannis Moralis, the candidate President of the PASoK-Movement of Change, Pavlos Geroulanos, met shortly before his speech in Piraeus, as part of his tours.

After the meeting, Mr. Geroulanos made the following statement:

“It was an extremely pleasant and constructive meeting. I spoke to the Mayor about Renaissance, the program I tabled, which talks about the decentralization of power and the importance of taking all power away from Maximus, so that local communities can develop. Because there is never going to be real wealth creation and proper justice in its distribution if we don’t decentralize power. This is an idea about which I have discussed with many Mayors, many Chambers, people who will play a key role in the next day, so that this plan can really be implemented.”

PSoC: Mapping the green battle – In which areas are the candidates investing? – 2024-08-17 20:06:57

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

«You become a leader when your internal clock synchronizes with the clock of History” Mimis Androulakis wrote in 2015. From that moment on, this phrase coincides with the desire of the PaSoK base, which has been looking for years for a person capable of sitting in the chair of Andreas Papandreou and Kostas Simitis.

This person, who will emerge from an internal process, however capable he may be, should also be synchronized with the demands of the times. Then PaSoK will be able to return to those times when its sun was rising and it saw percentages that connected it with the Maximos Palace.

In terms of time, PaSoK is at a critical and at the same time historical juncture. He turns 50 years old and walks the path of internal elections, at a time when his two main opponents are in trouble. New Democracy has lost more than 1,000,000 voters and the first knives have come out in the government. At the same time, prolonged introversion also exists within SYRIZA. Bipolar conflict between presidential and former presidents creates an escalating tension, but also a situation of executive and voter flight.

In this political environment, the PASOK clock seems to have started its own “ticking”, and indeed on strong double-digit percentages.

Communication

Communicators take advantage of all the tools that social media gives them. They use inventive TikTok posts to highlight the human profile of presidential candidates. THE Nikos Androulakis he succumbs to the temptation of a milkshake, tries it and spoils his diet. Paul Gerulanos goes to a car repair shop, fixes the brake pads, gets “dirty” and opens a dialogue with the comedian Alexander Tsouvela. While the Anna Diamantopoulou declares that he is a “trapper” shortly before talking about the water shortage problem.

At the organizational level, the candidate presidents have built mechanisms throughout the country. Lists of name mappings and member information updates go back and forth from headquarters to the District by email.

From Evros to Crete and from Corfu to the Dodecanese, party officials carry out tours and targeted excursions. MPs, mayors, trade unionists show with their movements that time is now counting down until October 6.

Nikos Androulakis: The Battle of Crete

Nikos Androulakis is expected to prevail in the battle of Crete, and even by a margin from the second. In the two prefectures from which he comes, Lasithi and Heraklion, PaSoK won and emerged as the first party.

In Rethymno, he will hardly lose to another candidate, as he has the local MP on his side Manoli Chnari and the MEP candidate Michalis Aerakis. The same is expected to happen in Chania, where apart from the mayor Panagiotis Simandirakis he is actively supported by executives such as the deputy mayor and a businessman Yannis Nikiforakish Maria Dafermouwho was a candidate for MEP, but also five of the six candidate MPs in the previous elections.

At the same time, he will be promoted in the Basin, especially in the popular neighborhoods, but mainly in several areas of the Region, such as Drama and Evia, with the local MPs Tasso Nikolaidis and Katerina Kazani to be by his side. In Argolis the member of the Central Committee Panagiotis Psychogios he runs the area organizationally and talks to people from the MEP and former deputy of the prefecture Yannis Maniatis. Yiannis Maniatis has not publicly expressed his support for any candidate, however there are many who believe that he will ultimately support the current president of PaSoK.

Xanthi, an area where Nikos Androulakis lived as a student and has ties to the local community, also has a lead. The president of PaSoK is expected to do well in regions of Western Greece such as Aitoloakarnania, with the former deputy of the region Dimitris Konstantopoulosthe parliamentary candidate Thanasi Katerinopoulos and the MEP candidate Giorgos Kalliakmanis to draw their origin from the specific region and to have officially declared that they support Mr. Androulakis.

They believe that he will be the first in Messinia, with the MEP candidate Giannis Pazio, several candidates for parliament and the member of the KE and president of the Association of Agricultural Cooperative Organizations of Greece George Katsoulis to have openly expressed their support.

Haris Doukas: Kinematic logic

On his staff Harry Doukas they bet on the mobilization of the people regardless of the support of parliamentarians and local governments because they consider that the effort of the mayor of Athens has a kinematic logic.

They initially calculate in the Municipality of Athens, while as reported by its partners “Haris Doukas gathers a lot of support in other regions as well, as he is supported by several self-governing officials.”

The tip of the spear in this battle is expected to be Eastern Attica, with the MP Manolis Christodoulakis and the two next in order of the ballot, Vasia Anastasiou and Yannis Smeroto have declared their support.

PSoC: Mapping the green battle – In which areas are the candidates investing? – 2024-08-17 20:06:57

In the southern suburbs, the parliamentary candidate Tonia Antoniou works in Haris Doukas’ organizational unit and sweeps the area. She also brings strength to Fthiotida, where she was a member of parliament in the past.

At the same time in Arkadia and Halkidiki the deputies Odysseus Konstantinopoulos and Apostolos Panas are expected to bring many families to the polls on October 6. These two men were also the ones who were the first to challenge the current leadership and started the pre-election campaign early on. At the same time, his staff are focusing on areas of Thessaly that they consider critical for the outcome of the result. This week Haris Doukas will tour the Cyclades, he will go to Andros where he is from and he will be in Tinos on the fifteenth of August.

Pavlos Geroulanos: Good in urban centers

THE Pavlos Geroulanos he is also betting on Athens, who has walked it both as a member of parliament and as a candidate for mayor. According to his associates, his candidacy is doing quite well in the urban centers

At the same time, he seems to be constantly gaining points in Thessaloniki, which he has visited twice in a very short period of time. There he is supported by several self-governing actors and the MEP Sakis Arnautoglou. While the MEP and son of the founder of the party Nikos Papandreou it gives him points at the national level but also in regions such as Achaia, which is a large ballot box.

In addition, he is expected to be promoted in the Ionian Islands, the region from which he hails, while expectations for a good result also exist for Crete, where he will tour on the 15th of August. It is worth noting that Crete is a place that Pavlos Geroulanos is visiting for the third time, in order to hold meetings at a local level with his supporters.

Anna Diamantopoulou: With old staff

Anna Diamantopoulou, in turn, is constantly gaining ground, with a number of old officials supporting her, but also many local authorities, mainly from Northern Greece, maintaining communication channels with her.

She is expected to do quite well in the urban centers, but also in areas such as Kozani, where she is from, and Kastoria, where she has served as prefect. At the same time, he will make a remarkable record in Drama and Heraklion, with the ladies Hara Kefalidou and Evangelia Schinarakis to have declared their support for Mrs. Diamantopoulou.

From her staff, however, they make it clear that there will be no name references to executives throughout Greece who support her, as she wishes everyone to be together the next day and make PaSoK big, with a governmental perspective.

Party shock absorber

A common recommendation from the staffs of the candidate leaders is that the choice to set up ballots in October for the election of the president of the PASOK is redeeming for the faction. A historical member of the faction, speaking to “Vima”, specifically stated that “quickly we will go to the polls and quickly come out of them” and went on to emphasize that “the next day we will be stronger. In PaSoK, we have a culture of dialogue but also of conflicts. This intra-party process, as it is developing, functions as a shock absorber for party shocks, at the same time that New Democracy and SYRIZA show that they did not receive the message of the ballot box of the European elections” concluded.

The movements and pursuits of the other candidates

The 22.66% that PaSoK got in the European elections in Ilia brings smiles to the staff of the deputy of the prefecture, Michalis Katrinis. Western Greece is the base of Mr. Katrinis who will do well in these areas, as well as in Lassithi, his place of origin.

The parliamentary representative of PaSoK is touring Northern Greece this week and is betting a lot on his proposal for the formation of a broad democratic faction, which will discuss with all neighboring democratic areas, such as those who signed the motion of no confidence with PaSoK. In this proposal, which he communicates at every opportunity.

Nadia Giannakopoulou is based in Western Athens, where she is elected MP. In this particular area there is a system of self-governing agents formed by the former member of parliament and mayor of Agia Varvara Lambros Michos. At the same time, she is expected to draw strength from Messinia, where she comes from and is the region where she has been elected MP in the past, but also Aitoloakarnania and specifically Messolonghi, where she also draws her origin from.

There will also be a significant reinforcement of forces in Lefkada, the place where MEP candidate Agathi-Rosa Vrettou, who supports her, comes from. Journalist Yiannis Kanellakis seeks to collect the required number of signatures in order to be a presidential candidate. Mr. Kanellakis tours the neighborhoods of Western Athens where he was a candidate for parliament, while he is active on social media, with frequent references to the founder of PaSoK Andreas Papandreou and his work.

PASOK: The betting, the party measurements and the “black holes” of the candidates – 2024-08-14 23:20:27

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

What do betting companies know from internal party elections? How can one predict the winner of a contest with an unknown electorate that will take part in the process?

The truth is that this electoral contest in PaSoK is more unpredictable than the previous ones. And just the fact that 4 of the 7 candidates appear to claim entry into the final matchup of the second round, is indicative of the difficult equation of the elections and the precariousness of every prediction made.

Summer predictions

In the last few days, the discussion about the internal party elections of the PASoK has focused on the odds given by the betting companies. Based on the odds of two betting companies (Novibet and Stoiximan) two clear favorites are recorded.

First comes the mayor of Athens with 1.90 and 1.95 and is followed by the current president of the Movement with 2.50 and 2.60. Both companies point to Anna Diamantopoulou in third place with 5.00, followed by Pavlos Geroulanos at a short distance. Michalis Katrinis has a performance of 17.00 and Nadia Giannakopoulou 31.00 and 30.00.

In relation to the returns of the same companies, there have been no shocking changes in the previous period. Nikos Androulakis and Haris Doukas appear as the dominant ones for the duel of the second round. Both, however, appear to be losing some of their momentum.

Anna Diamantopoulou’s entry into the race for leadership seems to take away strength from both. The increase in the dynamics of the candidacy of Pavlos Geroulanos is also noteworthy. The member of parliament from Athens does not seem to be the candidate that will simply determine the result but creates conditions for “claiming the above”.

The party metrics

In addition to the predictions of the betting companies, there are also the measurements carried out by the candidates’ staffs. These measurements are made, according to information, in an open but also in a more closed electorate, which is likely to reach the ballot box. The results generally give them the following picture.

Nikos Androulakis comes first in the so-called “small electorate” and remains first but with a smaller margin than the second as the electorate expands. Haris Doukas follows while a battle is fought between Anna Diamantopoulou and Pavlos Geroulanos.

That’s why the predictions for the duo of the second round give and take. The estimates of experienced officials, who believe that in the process on October 6 there will be a participation similar to that of the 2021 elections (280 thousand), see Nikos Androulakis and Haris Doukas as the most likely duo of the second round. However, there are executives who broadcast “how the scene in the fall will be different” and do not rule out Geroulanos’ surprise.

What is surprising is that the candidacy of Anna Diamantopoulou seems to lack momentum, which has led to a shuffling of the party deck but still has not shown that it has the momentum to claim the leadership.

The black holes of candidates

For the time being, the candidates for the leadership of PaSoK will slow down, conserving strength for the final stretch of the race that will begin in September. Then the confrontation between them is expected to begin, which is expected to be signaled by raising the tone of criticism. During this short summer break, the candidates take stock of their campaign and look for ways to increase their base in the electoral base and cover the “black holes” of their candidacy.

Nikos Androulakis has to face two challenges in the next critical period.

The first concerns strengthening his leadership profile in order to entertain the criticism that he cannot lead PaSoK to victory against the ND of Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The president of PaSoK, despite the losses, keeps unscathed the hard core of his supporters throughout the country. He does not have the power of the previous matchup and the assessment that exists is that his electoral base is now moving in the sphere of the 55 thousand votes received by his close associate and secretary of PaSoK, Andreas Spyropoulos, in the European elections.

The electoral black holes of Mr. Androulakis are found in Attica and Thessaloniki. It will take a lot of effort to increase its percentage and compensate for the losses it will have in areas where it maintains a strong lead such as in Crete and Thrace.

In contrast to the president of PaSoK, the mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas, seems to be doing well in Lekanopedio, from which the large volume of voters in the intra-party contest is expected to come. But he will need to increase his influence in the region and especially in Macedonia and Crete to “equalize” the advantage of Mr. Androulakis.

In Crete and Attica (where she has strength), Anna Diamantopoulou is expected to throw her weight, who is looking forward to a good presence in Macedonia. The question is what impact the candidacy of the former minister can have among the ranks of PaSoK voters who voted for it in the difficult years when she chose to withdraw from party life.

Pavlos Geroulanos is trying to strengthen his forces outside the Basin, which seems to be gaining ground in several regions of the country. Much will be judged by the percentage they record in critical areas, such as Lekanopedio, Michalis Katrinis and Nadia Giannakopoulou.
