On the eve of parliamentary elections in Greece, take the temperature in the streets of Athens. Greek voters for whom will they vote? Most have already made their choice. But 10% of voters will decide at the last moment, perhaps in the voting booth, like this woman:
"What a chaotic situation, what chaos! No one deserves my vote, no one can convince me ... I do not know ... Maybe there will be a miracle, but I no longer believe in miracles now. Politicians want only one thing, the power! "
Many young people do not see their future in a country that abandons them, as Tryfonas, 18 who will vote for the first time:
"There is no place for us, there is no growth. There are few jobs and for most, it's about being underpaid, behind a desk. Many of my friends work as a server. If you are young, creative and dynamic, you must leave the country. "
"The only thing I have in mind," said the young woman, "is that I have to leave the country. This is the reality. 250,000 young people have left Greece, not because they wanted to. it's not going well and we have to ask why. "
Tired by years of crisis and austerity, Greeks are anyway looking for a change.
Our correspondent, Apostolos Staikos, said: "it was a few hours before the opening of polling stations Sunday, but people are already thinking about next day; some are worried, others are afraid, but all hope that the new government will put an end to austerity. "
