With less than three days before the election, Syriza has the wind in its sails. His supporters gathered around the party leader Alexis Tsipras for the last big meeting before the vote.
The radical left party is credited with 36% of the vote, according to recent polls. The anti-austerity New Democracy party ahead: the party of conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras get 30%
of the vote.
Eleni Rizopoulou: "We joined our correspondent in Athens Stamatis Giannisis. Less than two days after the end of the campaign, what are the major challenges for the two main parties New Democracy and SYRIZA? "Stamatis Giannisis:" The great debate between New Democracy and Syriza revolves around the economy. Harsh words were exchanged in recent days between the two rival parties, New Democracy accusing SYRIZA of having a hidden agenda, the aim would be to leave Greece in the eurozone. Syriza defended course, saying that all this is nonsense and that this is just a desperate maneuver of New Democracy for a turnaround in an election they know they lost. Anyway this trench warfare between the two favorites seems to have created economic uncertainty since some Greeks withdraw money from their bank accounts, but not enough to worry the Greek Central Bank "ER". What will -it happened if the winner of the election can not obtain an absolute majority? To form a government it will forge alliances with smaller parties in parliament. We have seen that even former Prime Minister George Papandreou, who is the one who sealed the loan agreement for Greece, who left the Socialist Party to form a new social democratic party, hoped to join the coalition, or with New Democracy, or with SYRIZA. "SG:" At the moment, with the exception of the party of the extreme right Golden Dawn and the Communist Party, all the other parties in parliament are to be potential allies either Syriza or New Democracy. One of these parties is that of Mr. Papandreou. However, all recent polls say the party of former Prime Minister is well below the 3% threshold required to enter parliament. The only thing he succeeded is siphoning votes from his former party, Pasok. "
