close win, but according to polls do not have the numbers to govern alone
Milan , 25 January 2015 – 07:46
The eyes of all Europe focused on Athens. Just under ten million Greeks are called Sunday for a vote intended to have strong effects on the whole the EU. The main protagonist is Alexis Tsipras, the man who united the fragmented Greek left in a party, SYRIZA, which is the superfavorito for victory (even if the polls say they should not have the numbers to govern alone). A leader who has convinced most of the Greeks, crushed by the economic crisis, that time of austerity should end. A stop to the sacrifices but which also include the rejection of the agreements tight between his predecessor, the conservative New Democracy Antonis Samaras, and international creditors. And that this generates concern among advocates of European rigor, favor a continuation of the current policy.
To vote 9.8 million Greeks
The seats were opened at 7 am local time (6 in Italy) and will close at 19 (18 in Italy). The voters are 9.8 million. More than a third are concentrated in the Attica region, which contains the city of Athens. There are 22 parties contesting the elections. To enter Parliament have to take at least 3% nationally. The task of forming the government will be given to the leader of the party that took the most votes. If you can not make it (or if it has to seek alliances, in case it has an absolute majority of the problem does not arise) within three days, the ball goes to the second party and then the third. If no one succeeds, the president of the Republic will require all parties to form a government of national unity. If the Prime Minister in charge has enough seats (151) to govern, will be sworn in and within 15 days you will have to present in the classroom to gain confidence. Pending the polls close and the first exit polls, the Greek media reproduce the latest polls made Friday before the vote. The survey Mrb for StarTV assigns SYRIZA 31.2%, 26% in New Democracy, 6.5% to To Potami, 5.5% for Golden Dawn, 4.5% to the Communist Party, the 4 % to PASOK, 3.2% to the Greeks independent and 2.4% to the new party of George Papandreou.

The people – said the leader of Syriza – must vote to defend their dignity and for a government that will continue tough negotiations with international creditors. “
