According to recent polls, the Greek conservative party, New Democracy, is on course for a decisive election win. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected to benefit from voters’ desire for stability after a period of political uncertainty.
The polls show that New Democracy is currently leading the Syriza led coalition by a significant margin. This is a reversal of fortunes for Syriza, which won the 2015 election on a promise to end austerity.
However, the party has been criticized for its handling of the economy and for its close ties to Russia. Mitsotakis, on the other hand, has been praised for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and for his efforts to attract foreign investment.
He has also taken a tough stance on Russia, which is popular with Greek voters. If New Democracy does win the election, it is likely to continue with its pro-business policies.
The party has pledged to reduce taxes and to create jobs. It has also said that it will invest in infrastructure and education. The election is scheduled to be held on July 7.
