PASOK is finetuning its political strategy and messaging ahead of next week’s Thessaloniki International Fair, and has announced an ambitious organizational campaign accross Crete along with a focus on private debt.
The party’s leadership frames private debt as one of the most urgent social issues, affecting three million citizens, and positions PASOK as the political force capable of delivering a “fair solution” for borrowers.
The party’s first major event of the season, scheduled for Thursday at 18:00, places non-performing loans and private debt at the center. It will feature legal and economic experts and culminate in the presentation of 11 detailed measures by the party’s leader, Nikos Androulakis. The proposals will include: restoring primary‑residence protection to €200,000 for singles and €320,000 for a four‑member family, with reduced installments for the first three years and repayment periods up to 35 years, restructuring debt through 120 installments for debts to the state up to €500,000, regulating loan servicers, creating a protected professional bank account, and the protection of essential farmland from liquidation.
At the same time, PASOK announced that it is shifting its campaign headquarters to Crete, marking the first time the anniversary of the party’s founding declaration will be celebrated outside Attica. The “island-wide mobilization” includes campaigning in Heraklion, Rethymno, Lasithi, and Chania- the latter considered the most challenging battleground due to the political footprint and familial roots of both Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Stefanos Kasselakis.
Senior officials, MPs, and policy experts are expected to “blanket” markets, cafés, villages, and professional associations, culminating in a major rally in Heraklion.
The party aims to project momentum, organizational strength, and regional expansion ahead of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), where PASOK will present its broader economic and social program.
