On the left, the Socialist party (PASOK) dominated most of the post-democratic period after 1974. On the right, the conservative New Democracy (ND) alternated in power. Apart from the two main parties, there were two small left-wing parties, the orthodox Communists (KKE) and the Left coalition (Synaspismos). However, since 2012, PASOK’s vote Source: Parties and Elections in Europe collapsed and Synaspismos was transformed into a left- wing populist party called Left Coalition (Syriza) under Alexis Tsipras, he became also the prime minister after 2015.

Greece Political Briefing: the New Greek President George N
ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 27, No. 1 (GR) March 2020 Greece political briefing: The New Greek President George N. Tzogopoulos 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: CHen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 The New Greek President The first female President of Greece undertook its duties in a very difficult period for the Greek economy and society, in March 2020. Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the former President of the Council of State, was the personal choice of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to succeed Prokopis Pavlopoulos. Pavlopoulos played a constructive role in the summer of 2015, when Greece’s stay in the Eurozone was jeopardized, but is considered a politician with close ties to SYRIZA by most New Democracy members, even the Kostas Karamanlis’ wing which largely supports him. Mitsotakis nominated a woman to become the President to make a symbolic gesture in line with European guidelines and send a message of unity to Greek citizens. Chinese President Xi Jinping immediately congratulated Sakellaropoulou after her election. The new President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou was sworn in on 13 March 2020. As in mid-March the government ordered a lockdown to fight against COVID-19, the ceremony was only attended by a small number of people. In particular, instead of 1000 people who would have been able to participate under normal circumstances, 150 people were present in the plenary. Political parties, for example, were represented by the heads of their parliamentary group.
