New Democracy

The total cost of the project will exceed 3 billion euros, as Kyriakos Mitsotakis said - The PM, during his statement, also referred to the European dimension of funding through the Recovery Fund

Recent opinion polls all point toward certain conclusions.

New Democracy's decision to nominate Fredi Beleri, the imprisoned mayor of Himare, as a candidate for the European Parliament aims to highlight Albania's violation of the rule of law as a European concern. Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis made this clear on Wednesday, while also condemning attempts to monopolize these "progressive" issues.

Government officials have developed a set of five tests to determine whether the June 9 European Parliament elections will be a success or failure.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged Greek voters to hand candidates on ruling New Democracy's party ticket a comfortable majority in the European Parliament elections this June.

Credit ratings agency S&P on Friday revised its outlook on Greece to "positive" from "stable," saying the tight fiscal regime will continue to spur a reduction in the government debt ratio.

A new poll by Metron Analysis for Mega TV has shown gains for ruling New Democracy and main opposition SYRIZA, and losses for socialist PASOK and nationalist Greek Solution. 

More specifically, ND rose from 31.4% in its previous poll to 32.3%, while SYRIZA garnered 15.4% from 15.1%. PASOK fell by one point to 12%, from 13%. 

With less than two months to go before the European Parliament elections on June 9, the campaign has entered a crucial phase with tours by political leaders and party committees being a key element.

Less than two months ahead of the European Parliament elections, ruling New Democracy, to its relief, has found that it can focus on one main rival, not two.

Having a single bogeyman to attack and attempt to delegitimize is the sine qua non - literally "without which, not" - precondition for every successful election campaign.

Fredi Beleri, an ethnic Greek mayor-elect in Albania sentenced to two years in prison in March for vote-buying, is unlikely to be a candidate for the European Parliament with Greece's ruling party, New Democracy, in June's European Parliament election, Kathimerini understands.
