As a consequence of the defeat of his left-wing SYRIZA, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called for an early parliamentary election in the European elections. He could not ignore the election result, said Tsipras on the night in Athens. Party circles reported that the poll is expected to take place in June.
In the European elections, the conservative Nea Dimokratia (ND) had overtaken the governing party. „Greece needs a new government,“ demanded Nea Dimokratia chief Kyriakos Mitsotakis last night.
