Charis Doukas

A meeting too place between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Athens Mayor Charis Doukas.

Hello! The news that was widely discussed was the departure of the Prime Minister’s economic advisor, Alexis Patelis, from his position at the end of the year. Let’s start with the basics: Patelis left on his own and in a good climate—this to dispel any recycled scenarios that he supposedly disagreed with the upcoming measures against banks or with the recent statements by K.M.

The decision follows an incident last Saturday night when underage patrons were hospitalized after consuming alcohol at the bar in question.

Overjoyed are the Mayor of Athens, Charis Doukas, and his wife, Georgia Polytanou, as they tied the knot yesterday at the Church of St. John Kaloktenis in Thebes, the bride’s hometown.

The “reborn” leader of PASOK begins today with consecutive meetings – The roles of Geroulanos and Diamantopoulou and the new power structure.

Nikos Androulakis promises to proceed with immediate initiatives for change and the composition of forces within PASOK, attempting to capitalise on the momentum of his re-election to the leadership and address a wider audience, with the aim of upgrading the party’s role in the political scene.

“We managed in 3.5 months to make a clean and honest fight and create a strong current,” said Charis Doukas, who congratulated Nikos Androulakis on his victory.

“I will continue to fight for our principles and values, with unity, with everyone’s participation, for a big, strong PASOK that can win,” the Athens mayor said.

Nikos Androulakis was re-elected as the president of PASOK, winning decisively in the second round of the elections with 59.92% against Haris Doukas, confirming his dominance within the party. He received 126,222 votes – fewer than the 139,000 he garnered in the 2021 elections, where he defeated George Papandreou.

The message of support for Ηaris Doukas for tomorrow’s battle is sent implicitly but clearly by Giorgos Papandreou, stressing that “PASOK was and should become a force for change again.”

A proposal to hold a debate was made by PASOK – Movement for Change presidential candidate, Charis Doukas, addressing state-run ERT television.

In a post on social media, Doukas said he had already contacted ERT’s management asking for a “lively and productive dialogue” between him and Nikos Androulakis.
