offices of the party on Leoforos Syggrou.
Mr. Samaras through this move, the new logo of the party and the new political profile has shown he was no ties with the past and it is obvious that he wants to break ties with the past.
Their relationship is characterized as “happy from afar” and their discussions are very polite but without any political meaning. Mr. Samaras has covered for Mr.Karamanlis in the past for Siemens and the Vatopaidi scandal, and that has helped a lot for the former PM to lie in the shadows.
So what will Mr.Karamanlis do in the next elections? Information is blurry. Some say he wants to participate in the next elections, others that he would be interested to become the new President of the country. Other information say that Mr.Samaras would like Mr.Karamanlis to retire willingly from politics so that he won’t harm the party any more.
