"PASOK is now the second party in all opinion polls" and "its next goal is to become the first, against a government that a year ago received a fresh popular mandate and has failed", said PASOK-Movement for Change leader Nikos Androulakis, answering a question of Athens-Macedonian News Agency, at the press conference, in the context of the 88th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) on Thursday.
"It is necessary for the national strategic, progressive program that I proposed to be the next government program with the help of the people. I am very optimistic", noted the leader and re-candidate for president of PASOK-KINAL, while he advocated the political independence of PASOK-KINAL, saying that it is the only way to re-enter the political scene as a protagonist and acquire the characteristics of a strong government.
Regarding the scenarios of joint SYRIZA-PASOK ballots, Androulakis underlined that such a thing would result in Mitsotakis remaining prime minister and noted that these are being peddled by those who want to save themselves. He called the possibility of a co-government between New Democracy (ND) and PASOK "an anecdote".
