Nikos Papandreou

A state of alert has been declared at the headquarters of the six candidates for the leadership of PASOK as the polls will open in just a few hours – tomorrow, Sunday, at 7 a.m.

PASOK MEP Nikos Papandreou announced on Wednesday his support for Pavlos Geroulanos, a former culture minister, in the upcoming leadership contest.

"If the members and friends of the party decide to give him this historic opportunity, I believe he can use it to benefit the party and society," said Papandreou.

Konstantinopoulos, Geroulanos, Nikos Papandreou, Giannakopoulou, Liakouli, Kastanidis seek expedited procedures - Delays impede Androulakis

The rumbling since Sunday's European election - in which socialist PASOK remained stranded in third place, with only a slight increase in its percentage - was finally given voice on Wednesday by senior party official Odysseas Konstantinopoulos, who openly raised the issue of Nikos Androulakis' leadership, calling for the immediate launch of procedures leading to elections for a leader in 2024.<

PASOK MEP Nikos Papandreou has entered the ongoing debate about the future of the socialist party's leadership following disappointing results in the recent European elections. 

As the European Parliament elections draw near, the big picture begins to clarify. In terms of the dominant force, conservative New Democracy, whose lead has never really been in doubt (which explains why public surveys tend to skip the question, "Who do you think will win the Euro elections?"), the focus lies on whether it will replicate its performance in the previous European vote.

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.

After amassing an amazing number of festival awards, director Chris Moraitis’ “Pet”  is  an early and qualifying Oscar contender for an official 2017 nomination in the short film category. It will be the first Greek short to ever be nominated.
