The conservative New Democracy party (ND, 40.52% and 158 seats) of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has achieved a clear victory and an absolute majority that would allow him to govern alone, according to official results from the Ministry of the Interior corresponding to 90% of the vote. . Far behind is the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA, 17.84% and 47 seats), while the historic Panhellenic Socialist Party (PASOK, 11.96%, 32 seats) would be in third place.
Further behind are the Communist Party of Greece (KKE, 7.61% and 20 seats), the ultra-right party Spartans (4.71% and 13 seats), the ultra-conservative Greek Solution party (4.48% and 12 seats), the Christian fundamentalist Victoria (Niké, 3.73 and 10 deputies) and the left formation Rumbo a la Libertad (3.16% and 8 seats). In this way, three far-right parties achieve parliamentary representation in Greece.
“The next few days are not days of celebration, but days of work. There is no time for complacency. We cannot waste a single day,” New Democracy sources have highlighted.
For its part, SYRIZA, the second political force, has indicated that “the programmatic effort of SYRIZA has not been understood”, in the words of Alexis Haritsis. “There will be many New Democracy celebrations, but the social problems will continue to be there and SYRIZA will do its job and continue working to reconnect with the popular classes,” he stated.
Thus, Haritsis has criticized New Democracy for its recent turn to the right, which “seems to have fed far-right parties.” “ND is responsible”, he has sentenced himself. PASOK has celebrated the “return” of the historic formation through the words of Harilaou Trikoupi. “This vote shows that PASOK is back and that it is recovering the bonds of trust with progressive citizens”, he highlighted. “PASOK’s great bet is to become a reliable progressive opposition”, he has stressed. In addition, he has warned of the presence of far-right parties, for which he has highlighted the role of his party as a “democratic bastion.”
Meanwhile, Vasilis Stiga, president of the far-right Spartans party, has stressed that “after a while, there will be a national voice in Parliament.” “The Spartans have come to unite, not to divide”, he stressed before thanking Ilias Kasidiaris, leader of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party. “We bring a new ‘ethos’ to Parliament”, he has riveted himself.
From Nike, its president, Dimitris Natsios, has reacted to the results: “We will continue marching with respect for the votes of our fellow citizens and with fear of God, fighting for the victory of Hellenism and ordinary people.” Varoufakis has declared, for his part, that the fact that MeRA25 does not enter Parliament “is the least of it.” “The most important thing is that we, the left, have not managed to turn a ten-year resistance into a progressive front and we have not managed to prevent anger from turning into a current of the far right,” he pointed out. In addition, he has recalled that “in September 2009 the parties of the system won the elections with an overwhelming 44 percent and in a few months the system collapsed under the weight of its debts and lies.”
