Far-right gains ground in Greek election
TL;DR Summary
The conservative New Democracy party won a landslide victory in the Greek election, securing 158 of 300 Parliament seats and guaranteeing Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis a second term. Smaller far-right parties also saw gains, reflecting a trend seen in recent years across Europe. Another term of center-right New Democracy leadership is expected to build on economic inroads the country has made in the wake of an extended financial crisis. However, the presence of far-right groups in Parliament has some observers concerned about a hard right turn among a segment of the Greek voter base.
