Greece: on the strength of his victory, Prime Minister Mitsotakis calls for new elections

Greece on the strength of his victory Prime Minister Mitsotakis

The Greeks are called upon to return to the polls “perhaps on June 25”, outgoing Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis hoped, after a meeting on Monday May 22 with the President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou. His New Democracy party won a much larger victory than expected in the legislative elections on Sunday: despite 40.79% of the vote – the best score for the Conservative Party since 2007 – this is still insufficient to obtain a majority in government.
