Surprises
Is the fact that you will not return to parliamentary politics related to a decision to relinquish your party identity? I have belonged to this party since 1964. Suddenly claiming that I came from a virginal political background would probably not convince anybody. But that doesn’t mean that as a candidate for the post of Athens mayor I will only address New Democracy voters. Besides, my ballot paper will not be party-based. There will be surprises. Have you already sounded out people from outside ND? Something unexpected and very gratifying for me has happened. People from other ideological camps have approached me and asked to help me. But I don’t want to make their names public yet.
