Manolis Christodoulakis: 'Change+' is his political platform ahead of the PASOK Congress
Manolis Christodoulakis presents his 'Change+' political platform ahead of the PASOK Congress aiming to shift the focus towards substantive political discussions.
Ahead of the PASOK β Movement for Change Congress scheduled for March 27, MP Manolis Christodoulakis has introduced his political platform titled 'Change+', aiming to steer pre-congress discussions away from procedural matters towards substantive political issues. He emphasizes the need for the Congress to serve as a springboard for rekindling a new social dynamic and reclaiming the partyβs influence in reshaping political alliances.
Christodoulakis describes the current period as a 'very special condition' for the party, highlighting the importance of conducting the Congress in a way that fosters deep political engagement rather than merely procedural debates. Citing Mark Carneyβs sentiment that 'nostalgia is not a strategy', he underscores the necessity for the conference to promote political dialogue and the health of internal deliberations, actively working against tendencies of introspection that can arise if discussions focus on ineffective or stagnant strategies.
Ultimately, Christodoulakis aims for a reinvigorated political discourse that enables PASOK to pivot back into a position of influence within the Greek political landscape. His call for a more profound political approach reflects the party's desire to overcome past shortcomings and to engage constructively with contemporary issues, signalling a potential shift in strategy as they approach the Congress.
