Greek parties are officially in campaign ahead of the May 21st general elections. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis asked the country’s president to dissolve the parliament, in order to give way to elections.
Choosing his homeland of Chania in Crete to start his campaign, Mitsotakis asked for support, so that he can realize the conservators’ program of making Greece even stronger, economy wise.
“No government since democracy has faced these many challenges. And still, we overcame them all. Our borders remain unbreakable. And we supported families, businesses and jobs with a program of over 50 billion euros,” declared Mitsotakis.
His main rival and head of the biggest opposition party, Aléxis Tsípras has warned in a rally in Thessaloniki, that Mitsotakis will do everything he can to remain in power. This is why, the head of Syriza asked for a triumph of his party, in order to bring forth change.
Some 430 thousand youngsters aged 17 to 21 will vote for the first time in the May 21st elections. 40% of them are still undecided as to which party they will be voting and supporting.
These elections are the first ones to be held using a proportional representation system. If a second round of voting is needed, it will be held in early July.
