Party leaders host pre-election gatherings with reporters
Party leaders have been hosting their traditional gatherings with political reporters ahead of Sunday’s election.
New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis gathered with journalists at a cafe on Ermou Street, in central Athens, where much of the conversation was said to have focused on the upcoming election results and developments in Russia.
“Nobody knows how many parties will make it into Parliament,” Mitsotakis is understood to have said, adding, “I’m not sure that those who told pollsters they will vote for smaller parties will do so. From five to eight parties – nobody knows.”
