Political analyst Andreas Drymiотis has reiterated his assessment that Kyriakos Mitsotakis can secure an outright parliamentary majority in the next elections, stressing that his position has remained unchanged both before and after the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF). Speaking on Action 24’s “Next Move” programme, the political analyst argued that the electoral landscape remains fluid, as voters — based on his reading of the latest polls — appear to be casting their ballots with greater flexibility. This factor, he noted, could influence their final decisions ahead of the upcoming electoral contest. Despite the difficulties facing the government, Drymiотis suggested that there are still signs of political preference toward the ruling party. He added that maintaining the confidence of a significant portion of the electorate could prove decisive in determining the outcome of the next elections.

“Samaras is a bailout flip-flopper”
Drymiотis was particularly critical of Antonis Samaras, commenting on his political track record and the possibility of him founding a new party. The political analyst labelled the former prime minister a “bailout flip-flopper”, delivering a sharp critique of his political choices. He also noted that, were he in Samaras’ position, he would not even consider establishing a new political party, arguing that such a move would not contribute to political stability.
“Tsipras is moving to the centre, Androulakis is making mistakes”
Drymiотis also weighed in on the political strategies of Alexis Tsipras and Nikos Androulakis, offering a contrasting assessment of each leader’s trajectory. On Alexis Tsipras, he argued that the former prime minister is showing signs of political progress and a clear shift toward the centre. In his view, this direction could strengthen Tsipras’ ability to appeal to a broader cross-section of voters and consolidate his standing on the political stage.
By contrast, Drymiотis was critical of Nikos Androulakis, contending that his political strategy is drifting leftward and is accompanied by poor decisions. “Tsipras is making progress and moving toward the centre, while Androulakis is only making mistakes and shifting to the left,” he stated pointedly. According to the analyst, a greater emphasis on left-wing positions risks limiting PASOK’s ability to broaden its electoral appeal, mount a political comeback, and claim a more prominent role in the next elections.
