In an interview with VIMA, Kostas Skandalidis, a prominent figure in the Pasok party, elaborates on the ongoing efforts to expand the party's reach and influence in Greek politics. He addresses concerns regarding certain individuals whose names have been associated with the expansion and counters claims that these efforts represent merely a revival rather than genuine growth. Skandalidis emphasizes the party's commitment to engage broader progressive and democratic forces, marking a strategic approach ahead of the upcoming elections.

He highlights that the committee for expansion is not a temporary structure, but is focused on sustained efforts until the elections with the goal of mobilizing a wider base inclusive of various social groups. The committee is expected to grow with new members and will hold sessions to organize its strategies effectively. Skandalidis articulates the ambition to reach further into regional levels to establish Pasok's presence and influence.

Additionally, the interactions and cooperative dynamics with the New Democracy (ND) party, led by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, are examined, indicating an intricate political landscape where the ND perceives Pasok as a formidable opponent worth countering. The dialogue also includes references to political figures across the spectrum, such as Alexis Tsipras, reflecting the need for cooperation within the left-center political sphere to facilitate a robust alternative to the currently dominating parties.
