Anna Diamantopoulou, former European Commissioner for Social Affairs and minister, called on Wednesday for a live televised debate between the candidates in PASOK’s upcoming leadership election.
Diamantopoulou, 65, said she had formally requested the socialist party’s ethics committee to clarify why a date for the debate had not yet been set.
In addition, she proposed the creation of an official YouTube channel to host thematic debates on critical issues such as the economy, energy, and Greece’s demographic challenges.
The PASOK leadership election is scheduled for October 6. Recent polls show incumbent leader Nikos Androulakis and Athens Mayor Haris Doukas as the frontrunners among a total of seven candidates.
