The first round of local and regional elections in Greece ended yesterday with no single party securing enough support to declare a decisive victory.
“Personalities won over political parties, as independent candidates are ahead in three of the country’s largest cities,” said Loukas Tsoukalis, president of the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy, an Athens-based think tank. “The results show the fragmentation of Greece’s political landscape,” he said in a phone interview yesterday.
