The approaching arrival of Rafale fighter jets, the recent purchase of new warships, the acquisition of Israeli defense systems, and the upgrade of the Greek special forces have shifted the balance of power in favor of Greece.
The expected rise in the popularity of the center-left Movement for Change (KINAL), following the wave of sympathy after the death of its previous leader Fofi Gennimata and the widely covered open process for the election of a new leader, which has been confirmed by recent polls, have brought to the fore the role that the party can play after the elections.
