Changes in the shape of ELAS sector leaders are reportedly considered by Alexis Tsipras, with George Pappa be close to the exit and Amalia already searching for his replacement.
Specifically, the replacement of the Deputy Finance Section, George Pappas, is directed by Alexis Tsipras, according to information from iefimerida, a few weeks after the noise they caused. his statements on bank lockersIndeed, in Amalia the search for the person who succeeds him has already begun, opening up the debate about broader changes in the shape of the departmental leaders.

According to iefimerida, in Amalia the debate on its replacement has now been seriously opened, and attacks have already been made on other sector leaders in order to take his place. As long as the discussions end, the change will hardly be confined to Mr Pappa's face. Moving a sector chief to the financial staff will leave a gap in the portfolio he owns today and, in fact, will cause a small domino change in the present arrangement.
Evolution is interesting for another reason. Just two weeks ago, when Mr Pappas' references to the recording of jewels and other items of value in bank lockers had caused political noise, the message from Amalia was exactly the opposite: «Theme Pappa» there was noSources, with knowledge of the processes, said at the time that no question of removal or replacement had been raised and considered the case ended after the clarifications given.
Those clarifications came after the initial placement of the Deputy Finance Section chief, who had included even jewels and valuables kept in lockers. He then came back, saying that the «a patriotic contribution» It will obviously not be based «in the jewels of the rich ladies»But in high mobile and real estate.
It seems, however, that in Amalia the issue was not finally closed as definitively as they initially assured. Moreover, in the meantime, a second mistake had been made by Mr Pappas, this time in the cost of the student allowance, when in his television appearance, while he initially estimated at EUR 400 million the annual cost of the measure, then asked about the cost of the four years, instead of multiplying the amount by four, divided it, giving a result of EUR 100 million.

Review of the operation of sectors
The Pappa issue thus seems to be more of a starting point for a wider review of the functioning of sectors than a single face change. The iefimerida had already written that Alexis Tsipras was asking for more work from the sector leaders, more attention to public interventions and, above all, to avoid errors that expose the overall effort of ELAS.
The president of ELAS is reportedly not satisfied with the performance of all sectors nor with the extent to which they have so far managed to support the party's public presence politically and programmingly. This is one of the reasons why the debate on the use of more experienced political officials returns to Amalia.
But this is where the hard stuff begins. Within ELAS there are still two different views about how much the door should open to his old comrades Alexis Tsipras. Executives of the close environment remain categorically opposed to the entry of first-class members of the old SYRIZA, considering that such a move would cloud the message of the new beginning and give the image of rebuilding the old party under another name.
But there is also the other side, which sees an existing vacuum of political experience and considers that it cannot be covered only by new or technocratic officials. This logic includes cases such as Olga Gerovasili, which has already left Syriza and with its latest public positions it has brought much closer to the possibility of joining ELAS.

The case of Gerovasil
The case of Mrs. Gerovasili has characteristics that in Amalia are assessed differently: long government and parliamentary experience, relationship of trust with Alexis Tsipras, but also strong reference to the region. The latter acquires special gravity in the design of the next period.
As iefimerida has written before, the doors appear more open for former SYRIZA MPs who come from the district and have a personal electoral basis. Miltos Zabaras, Dionysis Kalamatianos, Alexander Meikopoulos and Vassilis Kokkalis have already been found in the frame.
Instead, for first class executives, such as Efi Achtioglu, there is no direct inclusion at this stage. She has left open the issue of possible future collusion, but has not so far taken the step towards ELAS.
The decisions for George Pappas will now show whether Alexis Tsipras is limited to a corrective move to the financial staff or whether Amalia is preparing to redistribute the departmental deck. And this time, after the assurances that «Theme Pappa» There was no, the final choices would be more interesting than the initial assurances.
