Leaders' debate

It is widely known that in Greece politicians are afraid of political debates.

The representatives of the five parties elected to Parliament decided on Thursday to postpone a televised debate between the party leaders scheduled for this evening, due to the 3-day mourning called after a deadly shipwreck off Pylos that killed at least 78 migrants.
