Usually when you say something, without doing it, you just say it because it sounds good. In the case of the government’s chain of family law reform announcements, things are rather the other way around.
Since the prime minister told Bloomberg that his young government intends to recognize the right to marry same-sex couples, the reform has been officially announced by him and other government officials at least five or six times. Last came the day before yesterday the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, to vaguely recycle the intention.
But the reason the announcement remains in the drawer is that the government is afraid of the political cost. He fears that, with three parties fishing for votes from the conservative audience, he may be damaged. So why does she say and repeat something that costs her, without actually doing it? Why does it maintain harmful noise?
If it costs you, why say it and say it again, without doing it?
He could, through repetition, be testing the waters. She is spying on the reactions and above all she is spying on herself – the intentions of the ND parliamentary group. to support Maximos’ initiative. If the aim was to prepare the ground, the government would probably have chosen to keep the debate in-house, in order to convince its MPs first. In recent weeks, the opposite has been happening. A spermology unfolds publicly that allows each member to “express himself”. The Prime Minister’s initiative ends up looking not only vague (we’ll bring it up “someday”) and heretical, since even the Minister of State, Makis Voridis, can publicly torpedo it, assuming that he himself will not vote for it.
The oxymoron is that those who openly attempt to cancel the Prime Minister’s initiative are the same ones who warn that it should not proceed in order not to undermine the prestige of the Prime Minister. As if they are telling him don’t do it, so that you don’t suffer what I’m already causing you. They will not vote for it, they also say, the New Democracy MPs, while the same people who say so are legitimizing the MPs’ fears with their attitude.
Beyond the cacophony, the question remains whether these fears are reasonable: Will N.D. actually suffer damage? if he decides to move from the theory of social liberalism to practice? Have the hypogastric voters already moved to the minor parties? Hasn’t it been proven with the first change in family law in the early 80’s, but also later, in the matter of identities, that the vaunted power of the priestly rod does not have the magical properties attributed to it?
Could the phobia be more real than the perceived cost?
