Google Doodle celebrates the National Elections of Greece again

Today's Google doodle is dedicated to the national elections in Greece. Users will see a ballot box with a Greek flag by opening the search engine but this is the second time this year.

Five weeks after more than 6 million voters gave his centre-right party a stunning 20-point victory over Syriza, the leftwing movement that stormed to power at the height of Greece’s economic crisis, the electorate is poised to repeat the result and Prime Minister Mitsotakis is hoping for a convincing win.

Andreas Drimiotis, a well-known observer of Greek electoral life, told Euronews: "New Democracy will achieve an absolute majority with 160 seats, regardless of the number of parties entering parliament".

He added, "Syriza voters are disappointed and see that there is no prospect of coming to power so that the party will get an even smaller percentage."

During this short pre-election period, the main topics have been immigration, particularly the recent tragedy off the coast of Pylos, and economic issues, which are still a headache for Greek voters.
