The Right are back to Power

Abstract

In early July, in the course of the extraordinary parliamentary elections in Greece, the center-right New Democracy Party, led by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, won a convincing victory. Elections took place after the leftist radical SYRIZA party of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras suffered a crushing defeat at the May elections to the European Parliament, as well as at the regional and municipal level. The article provides an analysis of the current political situation on the eve of the national elections to the Greek parliament, as well as an assessment of the prospects for the activities of the majority government.
