PASOK president Nikos Androulakis responded to internal party criticism from Pavlos Geroulanos and Haris Doukas, speaking on the show “The Next Day” on Action24 with Serafeim Kotrotsos. When asked about Geroulanos’s comments in Aridaia regarding the infrequent operation of party bodies and the limited time remaining for PASOK, as well as the Athens mayor’s statement demanding the congress commit to no coalition with New Democracy, Androulakis clarified: “I have nothing to answer to any PASOK official, because these issues have already been addressed,” Nikos Androulakis said initially, continuing regarding Haris Doukas: “The decision that victory against New Democracy is the only path has already been answered both by me and by the party bodies.”

Androulakis on Geroulanos: “All summer 34 sectors worked in PASOK – These are officials and bodies”
The PASOK president then emphasized, referring to Geroulanos’s statements in Aridaia: “All summer long, 34 policy sectors worked in PASOK. Hundreds of people to create a costed program with reforms. It’s a program for state transformation, institutional strengthening, a program that changes the heavy pressure of indirect taxes. So those who worked are not people outside PASOK – they are PASOK officials, our structure, our bodies.”
What he said about the government program presented at Thessaloniki International Fair
The PASOK president, referring to the government program he presented at the Thessaloniki International Fair, emphasized: “There is a program and capabilities. This will be the gospel of victory in the next elections. Many people worked on this and there’s no luxury of wasted time. I’ve learned to fight battles, and the greatest battles are not internal party ones but social ones. No interests, no dependencies, no tricks.”
