  • Developments in Greek politics in the last month brought a reshuffle in parliament as main opposition Syriza lost several MPs, ushering back the New Democracy-PASOK dipole

The article from Greek Reporter discusses the evolving political landscape in Greece, highlighting the resurgence of the New Democracy-PASOK dipole. Recent political developments have seen New Democracy, led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, maintaining a strong lead in polls, while PASOK, under the leadership of Nikos Androulakis, has been gaining ground, particularly after the European Parliament elections. This shift indicates a potential return to the traditional two-party system that dominated Greek politics for decades. The article notes that PASOK's recent success is attributed to its focus on social justice, economic reform, and a more centrist approach, appealing to voters disillusioned with the more extreme policies of other parties. Meanwhile, New Democracy continues to emphasize economic stability and growth, leveraging its incumbency advantage. The re-emergence of this dipole suggests a possible realignment in Greek politics, with implications for future elections and policy directions.
