Greece to hold legislative election on May 21.

TL;DR
Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou has approved Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' request to dissolve parliament, paving the way for national elections on May 21. The vote will take place under a new proportional representation system, making it difficult for any party to gather a majority and making two rounds of voting likely. Mitsotakis' government has recently faced pressure over its handling of a deadly train crash and other issues, making his party far from certain to win the elections.
