The deadline for submitting the required signatures by PASOK leadership candidates is tonight at 9 PM. The Ethics Committee will review the lists and determine which candidates meet the necessary criteria.

Opposition party PASOK will hold two debates as part of its leadership contest.

Party spokesman Thanasis Glavinas said the debates will take place "both before the first round and before the second round of the internal party elections."

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.

Three months after the European elections, the main shift in voter attitudes is related to the crisis within SYRIZA, which has reduced its voting intention to a marginal single-digit figure for the main opposition party.

This year’s anniversary coincides with the final stretch leading up to the key leadership election. Former PASOK Presidents, Kostas Simitis, George Papandreou, and Evangelos Venizelos, will deliver greetings. Founding members who signed the September 3, 1974 declaration will be honored.

In her letter to MPs and MEPs, Diamantopoulou outlines her political journey, goals, and achievements, emphasizing the need for unity moving forward. She highlights her intent to showcase her programmatic commitments through the upcoming televised debate.
