Mega, NEA, Vima, and in.gr will continue to deconstruct the government until the end
Very strong sources from business and political circles tell BN that initiatives were recently undertaken by Kyriakos Mitsotakis in order to improve his relations with powerful names in the media. The reason is obvious. The OPEKEPE affair and the wiretapping scandal are being played out more by television channels than by political parties. Mitsotakis has managed to turn old publishing groups against him and make the media moguls who once helped him his most mortal enemies. Anyone observant can see that Mega Channel, TA NEA, To Vima, and in.gr are leading the way in deconstructing Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Neither cold nor hot: "I don't bother you, you don't bother me"
The case of Giannis Vardinogiannis (Tzigger) did not present a particular problem; the two men spoke and almost reached an understanding. Following an event in honor of Vardis Vardinogiannis, the Prime Minister told the son, "Tzigger," that he would call him personally to arrange a meeting and talk. The Vardinogiannis side had grown cold toward the Prime Minister due to a fine imposed on Motor Oil, while they were also not very happy with the extraordinary taxation the Mitsotakis government decided to levy on refinery profits. However, the meeting took place and a moratorium was decided upon—neither cold nor hot—based on the logic of "I don't bother you, you don't bother me," given that Tzigger controls two significant channels (Alpha and Star) that shape public opinion, even though they are not highly politicized.
The meeting between the Prime Minister’s relative and Marinakis went poorly – The shipowner wants no rapprochement
While the Prime Minister found a positive response from the Tzigger side, he hit a wall during the next appointment. The same sources say the Prime Minister wanted to reconcile with the side of shipowner Vangelis Marinakis. He obviously could not speak himself, as relations are non-existent; instead, a close relative of the Prime Minister was sent. However, the outcome was negative. The Marinakis side received the relative, whom they know well, but did not want to have any conversation on the subject of reconciling with the Prime Minister. According to what was relayed, the Marinakis side considers the charges against Olympiacos FC senior executives regarding the incidents that led to the death of Lygeridis to be manufactured and guided by the government. Furthermore, Mitsotakis’s personal public references against the shipowner, and clearly the phone surveillance against him, have caused offense, and there is no turning back. The die is cast and there is no going back, as the interlocutor of the Mitsotakis relative emphasized.
Mega, NEA, Vima, and in.gr will continue to deconstruct the government until the end
Following this failed attempt, it is obvious that the Marinakis group will pursue the conflict with Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the end. They will attempt to reduce his electoral influence so that he cannot form a self-reliant government, betting on the participation of PASOK and Nikos Androulakis (or even Tsipras) in a future government to oust K. Mitsotakis from Maximos Mansion. Furthermore, those in the know say that shipowner Marinakis has even reached an understanding with Dimitris Melissanidis, who supports Alexis Tsipras. Their shared fury against Mitsotakis has united the two shipowners. Meanwhile, it is said that the Marinakis side is significantly assisting Ivan Savvidis's OPEN, with the most observant noting that the channel's broadcasts have become a notch more oppositional toward the government.
