«Προβλέπω εκλογικό ντέρμπυ Νέας Δημοκρατίας – ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, την Κυριακή…» – αποκλειστική συνέντευξη Σοφίας Καλαντζάκου, στο sportstonoto.gr !
«Είναι η πιο δύσκολη εκλογή της μεταπολίτευσης! ΝΔ ή ΣΥΡΙΖΑ: ένα ντέρμπι για σκληρά νεύρα. Το όπλο του Αλέξη Τσίπρα είναι η αισιοδοξία και η καλλιέργεια της ελπίδας πως υπάρχει λιγότερο επίπονη εναλλακτική στην κρίση. Η αδυναμία της ΝΔ είναι ότι ξέρει τις πραγματικές δυσκολίες και κρούει τον κώδωνα του κινδύνου μπροστά σε μια ορατή… Continue reading «Προβλέπω εκλογικό ντέρμπυ Νέας Δημοκρατίας – ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, την Κυριακή…» – αποκλειστική συνέντευξη Σοφίας Καλαντζάκου, στο sportstonoto.gr !

Ο κύβος ερρίφθη. The die is cast … May the force be with you!
Ολοκληρώθηκαν οι συζητήσεις με τον Πρόεδρο της Δημοκρατίας. Πλήρες αδιέξοδο. Πλήρης ασυνεννοησία. Απογοητευτική συνάντηση χωρίς ξεκάθαρη στρατηγική για τη διάσωση της χώρας.

Το ζήτημα είναι να δούμε πράγματι το τι θέλουμε την… Continue reading Ο κύβος ερρίφθη. The die is cast … May the force be with you!
