Elections in Greece: campaign for the second parliamentary elections in 45 days, on June 25, has reached a climax.
Elections in Greece: From the meeting in Thessaloniki, organized with symbolic significance near the statue of Alexander the Great, conservative leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis invited citizens to mass participation in elections for an independent, strong, and stable government to face future challenges.
“The next four years will be filled with dangerous challenges.” As you may have seen, the subject of immigration has resurfaced.
In addition to an unpredictability in Turkey, a neighbor, I remind you, now has a stable leadership.
As a result, the Greek answer must be a decision between national security and national growth,” stated New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
From Patra, his adversary Alexis Tsipras highlighted to the differences in the two parties’ ideological viewpoints and requested a vote to avoid, as he has stated, a “uncontrollable regime and a democracy in the style of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.”
“We don’t only find these inequalities in health.
We have positions that are totally opposed to the New Democracy in every part of the platform.
In labor relations and workers’ rights, to the eight-hour workday, to the repossession of properties with outstanding debts, to facing excessive costs and income redistribution, to education, electricity, and water,” stated Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras.
In an attempt to enhance the percentages of his party, the head of Pasok from the Athens rally said that real socialists will be resurrected on Sunday, leading Mitsotakis to the opposition in the future.
In the last days of the campaign, there has been a polarization of the political atmosphere in the debate of particularly contentious issues such as immigration, the Muslim minority in Thrace, the economy, and health.
However, experts and pollsters are focusing on how great the legislative majority that New Democracy will offer, rather than the conservatives’ spectacular triumph in the May 21 elections.
