Tsipras vacations with and supports Polakis

A picture is worth a thousand words: Pavlos Polakis enjoys the prime ministee's company - and the symbolic support - of Alexis Tsipras, as they  holiday together in Rodakino Rethymnon.

As it is known, the Prime Minister, returning from Beijing, on Saturday, headed to Crete, where his partner Betty Baziana and his two sons were already there. The Tsipras family traveled to Polirizos Hotel in southern Rethymno, in the area of ​​Rodakino.

At noon on Tuesday, April 30, the prime minister sat at a seaside tavern next to the Libyan Sea, alongside Deputy Health Minister Pavlos Polakis, who hails from Argoule Sfakion.

In the photo, published by protothema.gr, the prime minister seems casual in shorts, t-shirt, sunglasses and cap. Alexis Tsipras is talking to someone, while in front of him is obviously the waitress of the establishment, behind him another waiter, while at the other end of the table, Pavlos Polakis can be seen.

This is certainly a move aimed at providing support to his deputy minister, who seems to have "forced" him to re-emerge in Crete, particularly in Chania, where he is running against the more popular, Giorgos Stathakis.

Besides, just a few days ago, Alexis Tsipras had rushed to "justify" the "rough man from Sfakia" for the nasty attack that P. Polakis had launched against the disabled candidate MEP Stelios Kympouropoulos.

And from today's photo, it is clear that Tsipra-Polakis relations remain excellent, despite the Polakis-Kympouropoulos episode, which has created a major problem for the government and SYRIZA. ND has announced a motion of censure against the Deputy Health Minister, whom Tsipras said he would turn it into a vote of confidence for his government in general, in order not to risk a "leak" from the government camp.
