Leading New Democracy MPs Meet To Discuss Change in Leadership

Ahead of the forthcoming meeting of the New Democracy's parliamentary group, and just before the party's political committee is to convene at the end of the month and while ND leader was in Brussels attending the EPP meeting, several top MPs from the conservative party attended a dinner earlier this week to discuss the future of the party. The central message: The party has to now turn a new leaf.

All participants expressed their concerns about the course of the ND party, as well as talked about the government’s negotiations with Greece's partners. So far so good, but when they raised the issue of party president, the discussion became even more interesting.

As such, over the next few days a group of the attendees will speak with former Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis to try and find out what his intentions are about the future of ND, as well as if he would take any initiatives.

HellasFrappe believes that Karamanlis will refuse and rather pass on the torch to a much younger party representative (some are hinting that it could be the Governor of Macedonia-Thrace Mr.Tzitzikostas).

We also believe that Karamanlis will work on the sidelines so that the party remains united.

We will have more on this story as it develops in the days to come.
