“I can say with confidence that the elections will take place in May,” said the head of the Greek Cabinet of Ministers in an interview with the Alpha TV channel. At the same time, the politician did not name the exact date of the vote.
The Greek government’s four-year term expires in July. As the press writes, Mitsotakis expected to hold elections to the legislature in April. However, this was prevented by a train accident, which claimed the lives of 57 people.
The tragedy was largely due to problems that had existed in the railroad’s security system for many years. The authorities knew about it, but did nothing to remedy the situation. As a result, thousands of protests swept the country.
In the context of these events, the ratings of the ruling party, New Democracy, began to drop. Probably, this political force will have to form a coalition government.
