At the center of political news is the establishment of Maria Karystianou ‘s new party, which is entering the final stretch to submit the founding declaration to the Supreme Court . However, beyond the widespread enthusiasm of her supporters who gathered in Kolonaki, the news that steals the show and causes intense discussions in political circles concerns the fact that Karystianou’s party is being established “with a Russian imprint” , as key figures with strong ties to Moscow are holding the reins of its communication and organizational strategy.
This revelation was made visible during the live broadcast on social media from the law firm of her close associate, Maria Gratsia , where the signature collection was taking place. The man behind the camera and coordinating the live, explaining with absolute familiarity how the algorithm works to multiply the impact, is Stratos Siourdakis , a well-known businessman and president of the Greek Community of St. Petersburg .
The “Russian imprint” however became even more pronounced with the presence of Thanasis Avgerinos . The Greek media correspondent in Moscow for decades, a journalist with deep knowledge of Russian reality and political events there, is reportedly taking on the duties of press spokesman for the new organization.
Mr. Avgerinos, speaking on camera, gave the political and strategic significance of the project, speaking of an “existential problem” facing the country, which requires the union of forces of different origins , characterizing this particular convergence as something unique and historic for Greek conditions.
The choice of these specific individuals at the forefront of the establishment shows that Maria Karystianou’s party is not simply seeking a typical digital presence, but is building a mechanism with a strong geopolitical and communication identity . While Mrs. Karystianou herself happily declared to the citizens that “we are all writing history together, the good and correct history”, the background of the event and the leading presence of executives who are inextricably linked to Russia, give the new party a special stigma, turning the eyes of political analysts to the real strategic balances that this new political movement is going to bring.
