Greek political tensions rise between PASOK, Tsipras, and Mitsotakis
Greek political tensions are escalating as PASOK intensifies its opposition to both Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Alexis Tsipras of the Hellenic Rally (ELAS). PASOK has accused Tsipras of attempting to divide the progressive camp to ensure the continued dominance of the New Democracy government. The party has criticized Tsipras for failing to directly challenge Mitsotakis and for aligning too closely with government policies on issues such as the abolition of the 13th month salary and the establishment of private universities.
Simultaneously, PASOK is utilizing the Greek Parliament as a primary platform to advance its legislative agenda, including proposals for fuel subsidies for fishermen, VAT reductions for islands, and measures to address private debt.
On the leadership front, Prime Minister Mitsotakis has signaled that he will not step down unless New Democracy falls below a 25% threshold in upcoming elections. Meanwhile, internal dynamics within PASOK remain complex, with discussions regarding past government coalitions and the party's strategic direction in the face of rising competition from ELAS.
