Socialism in Greece

SYRIZA has unveiled its state-wide list for the upcoming elections on May 21, the composition of which is equally balanced between male and female candidates.

Given that the July 2019 elections were settled with a difference of less than two percentage points between New Democracy and SYRIZA in eight regions of the country, they are set to become fiercely contested battlegrounds in the upcoming elections as well. 

A new opinion poll of voting intentions gives ruling center-right New Democracy a 4.8-percentage point lead over left-wing SYRIZA.

Asked about their voting preferences for the May 21 election by pollster MRB, 29.7% chose New Democracy, 24.9% SYRIZA, 8.3% socialist PASOK-Movement for Change, 5.1% Communist KKE, 4.6% nationalist Greek Solution and 3.2% left-wing MeRA25.

BELGRADE - Serbian FM Ivica Dacic on Thursday thanked Greece's Syriza opposition party for its unequivocal public support to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia.

A new opinion poll puts ruling center-right New Democracy 6% ahead of left-wing Syriza in voting intentions.

If you're not a supporter of SYRIZA and are hoping for some surprises in the upcoming elections, please raise your hand high so we can all see it. For the past eight years, opinion polls have consistently shown Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the conservative prime minister, in the lead.

A new opinion poll shows the ruling center-right New Democracy leading left-wing Syriza by 6.5% in voting intentions.

The poll, based on a sample of 1,051, was done by research firm Pulse and commission by TV station Skai.

The previous poll, conducted on April 4, had showed New Democracy 4% ahead of Syriza.

Ruling New Democracy enjoys a 6.2-point lead over main opposition SYRIZA, according to an opinion poll conducted by Alco, on behalf of broadcaster Alpha. 

As the May 21 elections approach, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his political rivals are intensifying their campaigns.

At 7 p.m. on Monday, Mitsotakis is scheduled to address a rally of his New Democracy party in Egaleo, western Attica.

When the pre-election period kicks off with the case of the alleged sexual abuse of a woman by SYRIZA MEP Alexis Georgoulis, nothing bodes well for the path towards the ballot box, and toxicity abounds. As the foul-smelling case of alleged criminal acts takes center stage in the political agenda, the confrontation is bound to ignite each side's baser instincts.
