The predictable failure of the election of the President of the Republic on Monday should lead to general elections beginning in 2015 with the radical left in favorite position.
If there is a paradox faced in Greece these days, it is undoubtedly that the gap between the political class of the population. In these times of celebrations in Athens, as in most villages, islands or ski resorts, which have rates of 95% filling through the national tourism, few Greeks have followed Saturday night’s interview TV Antonis Samaras on the public channel. However, the Greek Prime Minister has done everything to alert his fellow citizens and urge its members to avoid new electoral vicissitudes. He recalled the efforts made over the past four years, highlighted the crisis exit early and even threatened the country from chaos if Stavros Dimas, the candidate supported by the government, was not elected President of the Republic noon Monday at the third and final round of the indirect suffrage. But beyond the disinterest of the Greeks and especially the need to be entertained after four years of drastic austerity cures, they no longer feel represented by the ir politicians.
Today, over 60% of them do not want early parliamentary elections, but it is nonetheless a likelihood. Even the most optimistic political analysts believe that the former European Commissioner Stavros Dimas will not raise the threshold of 180 votes out of 300 elected members.
Members of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, most out of their custody for the vote could make a difference and stand in favor of the single presidential candidate, but he refuses to be elected with the votes of the party, considered by the court as a criminal organization .
In case of non-election, Parliament will be automatically dissolved and a general election will be held within forty days late January or early February 2015. The political class is in turmoil. Alliances are made and broken, as the will of the former Socialist Prime Minister George Papandreou to create his own party, and the polls are in unison on a likely victory of Syriza, the radical left party led by Alexis Tsipras . The latter will he be able, if successful, to have a parliamentary majority to form a government? “The difference between Syriza and New Democracy conservative party Antonis Samaras sharply tightened in recent weeks,” said political scientist Vassilis business chief who recalled that the last fifty years, no government has come forward to his mandate. “This time, iI there is a significant risk that SYRIZA fails to form a majority. The country will be condemned to relive the political impasse in May 2012, which led to a new election and t he formation of a government of the left center-right coalition after an unprecedented suspense. This impasse had frightened the country’s creditors and made away tourists. But tourism is the second pillar of the economy is a vital issue, “he added.
Meanwhile, the government wants to believe in a civic burst MPs who might wake the Greeks reconcile them with their political class.
