The River

In spring, 2012, then TV reporter and producer of the show "Protagonistes" (protagonists), and later founder of the now defunct To Potami (the river) party, Stavros Theodorakis, in the context of contacts with other parties ahead of elections arranged an interview with Alexis Tsipras regarding Syriza's aims and prospects.

PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis is first in popularity, Alexis Tsipras is third, behind Fofi Gennimata

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis held an e-meeting with SYRIZA's main opposition leader Alexis Tsipras on Monday evening, and later with Movement for Change (KINAL) leader Fofi Gennimata, to brief them on the developments concerning the coronavirus outbreak in Greece.

The center-left Movement for Change (KINAL) alliance has endorsed Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis's presidential nominee.
KINAL chief Fofi Gennimata said that the nomination of Katerina Sakellaropoulou fulfilled "essential" criteria set by the party.

To Potami's political council on Monday proposed that Greece's centrist party suspends its operations ahead of a meeting of party representatives on November 24.
A statement said the reason behind the proposal for the party's suspension was the decimation of Potami's local groups.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Monday appointed journalist Dimitris Tsiordas as director of his press office.

Journalists Giorgos Efthimiou and Argyris Papasthathis were appointed as his deputies.

Centre-left Movement for Change leader Fofi Gennimata has unleashed a frontal attack against main opposition leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis over his warning that if New Democracy does not receive a strong mandate in the 7 July general election then the country will be led to a second parliamentary election in August, in the middle of most Greeks' summer vacation.

Main opposition New Democracy is 9 percentage points ahead of ruling SYRIZA, according to an opinion poll carried out by Pulse for broadcaster SKAI, published on Sunday.

The announcement on Tuesday by Stavros Theodorakis that he will be stepping down from the leadership of the centrist Potami party essentially marks the end of a political grouping that came into being during the crisis but did not apply the same tactics as the other protest parties.

Centrist party To Potami announced it will not be running in the upcoming Greek general elections on July 7, following a meeting of its political council on Tuesday night.
