Doukas

A debate this week between the two winners of the first round of last Sunday's PASOK leadership election, incumbent leader Nikos Androulakis and Athens Mayor Haris Doukas, appears unlikely. 

From “all against all” to “all-to-all” communications, the summit battle in PASOK is shifting in the final 24 hours before the second-round polls that will determine the winner of the election.

The movements on the internal party chessboard are rapidly developing between the two PASOK leadership candidates ahead of the final battle for the leadership this coming Sunday.

In the high-stakes race for leadership of the socialist PASOK party, incumbent Nikos Androulakis and Athens Mayor Haris Doukas are gearing up for a decisive second round of voting this Sunday.

Mayor Haris Doukas’ team is planning to improve his image in Attica, where he faces an unfavorable correlation of forces after placing fourth.

PASOK is entering the most difficult and final phase of the leadership contest after a first round that turned into a thriller before the duo was determined to face off in the second round.

Haris Doukas has accused close associates of Nikos Androulakis of engaging in “extreme character assassination” and called on the current PASOK leader to take a clear stance.

The environmental organizations Arcturos, the Hellenic Ornithological Society, and Callisto are demanding that the wind farm construction in the Doukas area of the municipalities of Kastoria and Amyntaion in northern Greece be halted, as it violates a resolution by Council of State, the country's highest administrative court.

Doukas emphasized the “national significance” of the October 6 internal party election, calling for renewed support to establish a major democratic force that addresses modern challenges. He highlighted the urgent need for a revitalized health system and economic relief, particularly in addressing high fuel prices and rising costs.

A 60-year-old garbage truck driver tragically lost his life at the Fyli landfill in western Athens when, under unclear circumstances, he fell under the vehicle.

According to public broadcaster ERT, the man had finished his work at the Fyli landfill when the accident occurred. He was rushed to Thriasio Hospital but succumbed to his severe injuries.
