Fofi Gennimata dismissed Evangelos Venizelos from KINAL because of Greek Solution emerging as a potential coalition partner of New Democracy , the largest political party in Greece , while simultaneously depriving Golden Dawn from many votes that determined the third party in the 2019 European elections after large election losses from SYRIZA , Greece 's previous government that came to prominence because of supporters that gradually abandoned PASOK under the tenure of George Papandreou as Prime Minister of Greece , which ended with a coalition between the two largest parties , specifically PASOK and New Democracy , which has since integrated members of LAOS such as Makis Voridis and current deputy leader Adonis Georgiadis , as well as Kyriakos Velopoulos , who had briefly been a member of New Democracy since leaving LAOS before founding Greek Solution , so Fofi Gennimata 's desire to earn support from past voters of SYRIZA to ensure KINAL 's status as the third largest political party in the 2019 national elections due to the votes of Golden Dawn , which had previously held the third position , being split between Golden Dawn and Greek Solution , has urged her to reject Venizelos whose participation into the government of Antonis Samaras is considered to be more unappealing to the majority of voters than Papandreou 's role as a major figure in KINAL under Fofi Gennimata 's leadership despite the failure of Papandreou 's KIDISO party to enter Hellenic Parliament in the 2015 elections while costing votes from PASOK which according to Venizelos would prevent Golden Dawn from ever becoming the third largest party in a national election . Fofi Gennimata had disagreed with Venizelos over a potential support for New Democracy which is expected to win the next elections but without a parliamentary majority which would threaten Greece with a lack of government while Greece 's commitment for a surplus towards the troika could cause a default because of the Greek economy heavily relying on tourism that could likely diminish because of an emerging competition from Turkey , which under current President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has managed to overcome the 2018 currency crisis while ensuring political stability after the expected defeat of Ekrem İmamoğlu , who is a candidate for becoming mayor of Istanbul and Erdoğan 's political rival , in the repeated 2019 local elections , with Greece 's ineffective firefighting during the 2018 Attica wildfires alongside increased crime ratings , largely because of both illegal immigration and poverty deteriorating due to Greece 's migrant and financial crises , respectively , being responsible for a possible disencouragement of tourists to visit Greece at the same time when neighbouring Turkey has become significantly safer since the attempted Coup d'état in 2016 which has caused extensive purges , so Evangelos Venizelos has argued that similarly to the lack of support for Eleftherios Venizelos in the Greco-Turkish War which resulted in the Greek genocide , a similar disaster could be caused by the absence of Venizelos in Greece 's implementation of austerity , which has greatly been affected by Venizelos due to his term as Finance Minister being credited for contributing to a debt haircut in 2012 that greatly improved the sustainability of Greece 's debt for preventing a potential insolvency which would instantly cause Grexit as well as a repetition of the Byzantine – Ottoman wars because of Erdoğan 's desire to restore the Ottoman Empire due to American imperialism that emerged as a result of National Security Advisor John R. Bolton as a proponent of neoconservatism , which has greatly influenced the Presidency of Donald Trump , which has failed to implement the libertarian policies that Trump had endorsed as a candidate in the 2016 primaries of the Republican Party in order to earn votes from supporters of Alex Jones , a conspiracy theorist that had endorsed Ron Paul in the 2012 United States presidential election while opposing Mitt Romney , thus ruining Turkey 's relations with the United States that greatly improved under Barack Obama as a result of the Arab Spring , with American support for Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu over the Arab – Israeli conflict urging Erdoğan to demand Turkey 's participation in natural gas exploitation across the exclusive economic zone of the Levantine Sea that Cyprus under President Nicos Anastasiades has offered to Israel in exchange for guaranteed support from the Jewish lobby regarding the Cyprus dispute that threatens Turkey 's status as a regional power that could only be ensured by conquering Greece which would be vulnerable as a result of a potential devaluation of its currency because of the vast influence of Mario Draghi , the President of the European Central Bank , over Greece 's monetary policy as a result of the uncertainty regarding the country 's membership in the Eurozone , which is more significant while Brexit is endorsed by Boris Johnson , who is the favourite to succeed Theresa May as leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister in the United Kingdom as a supporter of withdrawal from the European Union in the 2016 referendum that is considered by Manfred Weber , a candidate for President of the European Commission under the European People 's Party , to be influenced on a greater degree by the 2015 Greek bailout referendum than the interference from Russia which was coordinated with an intervention in support of Donald Trump as a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 elections , thus rendering isolationism , which is a potential outcome of opposition to austerity that Golden Dawn and Greek solution campaigned for , as a great threat for Greece because of European Union – Turkey relations being expected to improve as a result of renewed efforts for Turkey 's accession to the European Union for ensuring the federalisation of a two-speed Europe for preventing its resemblance to the Roman Empire in its decline because of Euroscepticism that is expected to seriously deteriorate under the possibility of both Greece and the United Kingdom leaving Europe at the same time . Fofi Gennimata did not share the concern of Venizelos regarding the threat to democracy posed by the change of Greece 's semi-proportional electoral system , which abolishes the majority bonus that has been established by President of Greece Prokopis Pavlopoulos during the second but not the first elections after a 2016 parliamentary vote where both PASOK and Golden Dawn had absented , while the participation of either one or both of those two parties in the legislation would either abolish the bonus from the first elections or retain it indefinitely . Fofi Gennimata believes that the division of right-wing populism between Golden Dawn and Greek Solution would continue , while Venizelos considers that the notoriety of anarcho-communism due to the fall of Alexis Tsipras would lead to either Nikolaos Michaloliakos or Kyriakos Velopoulos , the general secretaries of Golden Dawn and Greek Solution , respectively , who have both expressed support for pan-Slavism , becoming opposition leaders instead of Fofi Gennimata , thus jeopardising European support to a potential member of the Eastern Bloc that could develop a renewed Warsaw Pact which would engulf Europe under the Eurasianist foreign policy of Vladimir Putin as expressed by prominent political analyst Aleksandr Dugin . Fofi Gennimata then agreed with Venizelos that despite the fact that he would not participate in elections as a member of KINAL due to Fofi Gennimata 's desire to identify her party as democratic socialist rather than merely social democratic , she would keep her promise to voters of not being submissive to New Democracy while demanding that Venizelos would become Prime Minister instead of Kyriakos Mitsotakis , the current leader of New Democracy and son of former Prime Minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis as well as brother of former Foreign Affairs Minister Dora Bakoyannis , as a condition of forming a government with New Democracy that Venizelos insisted that it should be considered as an option
