The unknown Mr. Alexandraki collected 51,237 votes, and the Velopoulos celebration doubled its proportion in Evros. Do not mess with the “unsuitable” Fragoulis.
No resume, no photograph, no on-line info. Nothing. however the candidate for the Greek Resolution Kyriakos Velopoulos, Galato Alexandrakis, MEPs had been elected within the 2024 European elections by assembly 51,267 votes.
That is:
In truth, whereas looking out Greek Resolution’s social media in addition to its web site, we couldn’t discover any extra details about the candidate who’s now anticipated to be in Brussels, who represents a part of the Greek citizens within the new composition of the Parliament Europe.
The unknown Galato
The plain query on Greek social media was this: “However who’s Mrs. Galato Alexandraki anyway?” The place he did not even give an interview? Who hasn’t completed some election marketing campaign? And even accumulate greater than 50,000 votes?
In search of some details about Ms. Alexandraki, we fished from the native inevros is a 76-year-old retired livestock farmer from Koufovouno Didymoeicho, who runs a butcher’s store in Alexandroupoli together with his son Alexandros Alexandrakis. In truth, earlier than election outcomes, an individual searches on google with key phrases “Galato Alexandraki” the outcomes solely confirmed the tackle of the butcher in query.
Picture from her household’s store:
In accordance too with the native web site reportal.gr Ms Alexandraki shunned giving any pre-election interview and in keeping with the identical info she doesn’t wish to converse publicly but. We predict that Miss Alexandraki was most likely elected as a result of her identify was first – on the poll of the Hellenic Settlement first, and in consequence many crossed her to position her someplace.
Or perhaps the celebration equipment gave a “line” to vote for an unknown pensioner, and make extra “noise” round Mr. Velopoulos’s celebration.
It stays to be seen whether or not she herself will likely be elected she’s going to settle for her political duties, stating right here how it’s the second comes from Evros who can be elected as Aphrodite Latinopoulou from the identical Regional Unit.
It’s price noting that The Hellenic Resolution doubled its percentages in Evros, taking 14% and in third place, behind ND and PASOK, and leaving SYRIZA in fourth place.
