FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Evangelos Venizelos, the leader of Greece’s main left-wing party Pasok and a former finance minister Evangelos Venizelos, was booed and heckled as he cast his vote.
Arriving at a school in his constituency of Thessaloniki, Greece’s second city, five or six people on nearby balconies booed, while one shouted “thief” and another said he was “forced to go to Germany to find work”.
Referring to the memorandum of understanding between Greece and its creditors, Alexis Tsipras, head of Siriza, a Left-wing coalition, said that Greeks “will send a strong message to the whole of Europe that the barbarism of the memorandum must stop”.
“The people are read to turn a page and after two and a half years of repression we will try untied to lead the country on a new course,” he said, after casting his vote.
The last opinion polls published before a two-week blackout ahead of the election showed his party surging to 11.6 per cent, with Pasok and New Democracy haemorrhaging support since the last election in 2009.
Support for the two major parties has reached historic lows, plunging to percentages last seen in the mid-1970s when the country was emerging from dictatorship.
New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras is expected to finish first today, benefiting from a bonus 50 seats in the 300-member parliament.
But even with that he would fall far short of the 151 seats needed to form a majority government. Opinion polls projected him winning not more than 25.5 per cent.
Pasok – which triumphed in 2009 with 43.92 per cent and George Papandreou at its helm – has seen its support collapse over the past two years. Opinion polls projected it to win between 14.5 and 19 per cent.
