Greece: the campaign ends, will the voters give an absolute majority in SYRIZA?


Final stretch of the legislative campaign, the outgoing Prime Minister, the Conservative Antonis Samaras holds its last meeting tonight after a month and a half of unfavorable polls. In power since June 2012, it could be pushed out on Sunday by the Greeks disillusioned despite his alarmist.


The spokesman for the election campaign of Samaras Maria Spyraki MEP is optimistic but remains on the line "attention danger" "us, New Democracy, have confidence in the Greeks, they will not let their efforts be ransacked by economic death scenarios in which Syriza works. The Greeks have already chosen the stability in the EU and the euro area and made many sacrifices for it. They will not let these sacrifices become dead letters. "


Yet it is Syriza anti-austerity party any, who is leading in the polls, with between 3 and 7 points ahead.

Its leader Alexis Tsipras held Thursday its last meeting in Athens. He wants to renegotiate the debt of Greece and wants to do this to have an absolute majority in Parliament.


The head of his economic program, Professor Yannis Milios, is reassuring: "Europe has nothing to fear from the decision of the Greek people to choose Syriza to govern the country. Our program promotes justice and economic stability. The victory of SYRIZA announce the start of a democratic and social change in Greece. "


So they opt for Greek Syriza? They give a free hand to Alexis Tsipras to direct and renegotiate the debt?


10% of Greek voters are undecided.


Our reporter in Lyon, Eleni Rizopoulou an update with our correspondent in Athens, Stamatis Giannisis: "We are a few hours of the election, what can we expect from the last few hours?"


Stamatis Giannisis:

"We're in the home stretch and it seems that everything is going to play on the vote of the undecided, those who decide who to vote once in the voting booth, it is they who hold the key to the riddle of this crucial election .


Concerning the two main parties fighting for victory, the New Democratic side, we hope to convince until the last minute these undecided and reverse the opinion polls that put Syriza in the lead. On the other side, Syriza focuses on how to convince beyond the estimates, to have a free hand. "


ER:

"If SYRIZA fails to get the majority, what can we expect covenant see form to form the government?"


SG:

"The big question is who will win the third place? The new center-left party To Potami, "River" and the far-right party Golden Dawn eligible.

Of course, there is absolutely no question of any involvement in the neo-fascist process of forming a coalition government if Syriza does not succeed alone.

in this case, much will depend scores that win the other parties entering parliament, as the Socialist PASOK, the right-wing "Independent Greeks" or even the new Kidiso of former Prime Minister George Papandreou s' he entered the parliament. "
