Androulakis: Our goal is to beat ND, not overtake SYRIZA
On Friday PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis reacted to Thursday’s public survey that showed the once-dominant socialists have surpassed the main SYRIZA opposition, saying that the main aim is to take on ruling New Democracy.
“I don’t want any PASOK official to celebrate. Our aim is not to surpass SYRIZA, but in the next parliamentary elections for PASOK to emerge as the winning force against New Democracy,” Androulakis said in an interview on ANT1 TV.
In a survey conducted by Opinion Poll for Action24 TV, respondents were asked whom they would vote for if elections were held today. The results showed 31.1% in favor of ND, 12.9% for PASOK, and 11.9% for SYRIZA.
“PASOK has gained 4.2 points in five months. While PASOK is indeed on the rise, it necessitates effort rather than celebrations. It calls for active engagement with the issues affecting the citizens,” Androulakis said.
