Post-election alliances will test PASOK unity after congress

PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis (right) speaks with Athens Mayor Haris Doukas during the second day of the socialist party’s congress, in Athens, on Saturday. Doukas, once and potentially again a rival for the leadership, wants the party to commit formally to no alliance with the ruling New Democracy in case of a hung Parliament after next year’s elections. Androulakis, while a severe critic of the conservatives, is more skeptical of the prospect of a broad left front. He also knows that, if the party’s mediocre showing in opinion polls translates in real voting, it will be open season on him post-election. [Nikos Halkiopoulos/InTime News]
