Movement for Change

As the May 21 elections approach, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his political rivals are intensifying their campaigns.

At 7 p.m. on Monday, Mitsotakis is scheduled to address a rally of his New Democracy party in Egaleo, western Attica.

The leader of the centre-left opposition party PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, initiated on Wednesday the process for his resignation as a member of the European Parliament, in order to run in Greece's upcoming elections.

The move came after Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced  that the elections will be held on May 21.

A progressive coalition centered on SYRIZA - provided it comes first in the election - will provide stability for a full four-year term, the leader of the main opposition, Alexis Tsipras said on Monday.

PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis on Monday received the leader of the Socialist Party of Germany Lars Klingbeil at his office in parliament.

A new opinion poll suggests ruling New Democracy's lead over main opposition SYRIZA has narrowed, with 2.9 percentage points now separating the parties.

The MRB poll for Open TV on voting intentions put New Democracy at 27.4% (down from 30.2%), SYRIZA at 24.5% (up from 24.3%) and PASOK-Movement for Change at 9% (-1).

A draft bill on "prevention and management of violence and bullying phenomena in schools" was approved by the Greek Parliament plenary on Wednesday.

The administration led by the leader of the green movement URA, Dritan Abazovic, became the government with the shortest period in power in Montenegrin political history - it only came to office in April.
The government was ousted by the votes of 50 MPs in the 81-seat parliament.

By coincidence, the three largest political parties that hope to come to power (either single-party rule or in a prospective coalition) have conducted or are organising their conventions amidst a combination of global public health, war, energy, inflationary, and economic crises.

We had become so accustomed to it that we considered it a structural element of our political system.

The two biggest parties would just take turns in exercising power, and their differences were so great that the prospect of a German-style Grand Coalition were practically nil.

A new Metron Analysis poll shows ND retains a, over 10 percentage point lead over SYRIZA, even as the Movement for Change (KINAL)-PASOK skyrocketed to 18.5 percent from 8.1 percent.

The results clearly show the emergence of a third political pole, KINAL-PASOK, according to the survey presented by MEGA television.
