Greek Conservatives Poised for Victory in Election Against Left-Wing Opposition

The conservatives' effective communications strategy, coupled with a favorable media environment, has left the opposition struggling to take control of the narrative. With a fractured opposition and concerns over the far-right's growing influence, there are worries about what a likely big win for the conservatives could mean for the future of democracy in Greece.
