Greek national elections bring surprising results with shifting political landscape
The Greek national elections on May 21st left the country in awe as the political landscape shifted unexpectedly. The outcome has sparked a significant surprise, with implications for the main opposition party (SYRIZA) and its relevance in the political landscape, since it seems to have lost trust among the voters, raising questions regarding the dynamics of the opposition in general, after the significant rise of PASOK. Greece now finds itself on the path to a second round of elections, which most likely will take place earlier than planned, on June 25th, since no coalition was formed. Does SYRIZA have the reflexes required to shift these results within a month?

Upcoming Greek elections: What to expect?
On Sunday, the Greeks will elect their new parliament. However, the electoral system makes it difficult to form a government with a majority. The "Greek bonus" used to reward the party with the most votes with 50 extra seats in parliament, which made coalition building superfluous. However, the sovereign debt crisis led to change, new parties emerged and coalition governments became necessary. Prime Minister Mitsotakis, however, is a politician who does not like to share power. After his election, he reintroduced the old system. If no government can be formed after Sunday's election, the old system would be used in a repeat election a few weeks later.

The State of Liberal Democracy in Greece and Germany
Since its foundation, the European Union has represented human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights, including minority rights. When it comes to liberal values, Europe is not a homogeneous space. There are repeated restrictions on freedom of speech and freedom of the press, as well as on the principle of the rule of law. Although both Greece and Germany are considered liberal democracies, each country faces unique challenges and opportunities in maintaining and strengthening its democratic institutions.
