Political polarization

Nothing is too small or insignificant to go unnoticed in such conditions of tremendous social and psychological pressure. The slightest incident can spark an inordinate amount of anger and reactions. But only citizens have the right to be angry, not political leaders.

The Greece 2021 committee on the bicentennial of the declaration of the Greek War of Independence has undertaken a symbolic, albeit very important task. It is in fact a national task that could help revive the country's image.

Sunday's election result marks more than a change in the balance of power between Greece's political parties. It also signifies a radical shift in domestic political ethics.

Nine out of 10 Greeks have no confidence in the country's political system, according to a poll conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations and YouGov which was released Thursday.

Spain's ruling Socialists were considering possible partners for a new government for the politically polarized country on April 29 after they won a national election but failed to secure a majority.
