Nikī Tsavela stated that Antonis Samaras had instructed his supporters to accuse New Democracy of distorting its identity by broadening its appeal to other political spheres. She contrasted this with the European elections of 2014, when Samaras was prime minister, and claimed that Maria Spiraki, whom she described as a close associate of Akis Tsochatzopoulos, was his chosen candidate. She wrote that Samaras's team was intensely pressuring the party organizations to vote for her and that Spiraki received almost half a million votes. Tsavela mocked the reference to the "immaculate" faction and added that Samaras always had, to his credit, close friends from other political spheres. #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Ευρωεκλογές #Πολιτική (translated)
