Greek election heats up as party leaders debate the issues


Listen Later

Greece’s party leaders held a debate on Wednesday, touching on everything from the economy to foreign policy. While the three hour debate didn’t produce a clear winner, it was an opportunity for the party leaders to speak directly to voters. In the meantime, polls are indicating that New Democracy has recovered some of its lost ground, raising questions about what kind of coalition could be in the cards after elections. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini English Edition, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the main takeaways from this week’s debate, explore what impact it could have on voting trends, and look at what the latest polls tell us about the prospects of a coalition government after elections.
