Greece: Elections; Voters' Concerns; Health and Education; Party Policies
From Euronews
"Greek voters crave education and health rescue"
Nikoleta Drougka summed up: “Greek voters will go to the polls on Sunday tired and disappointed. Health care and education difficulties have made them feel like second-class citizens. They expect the next government to end that feeling, with action.”
The Times writes of the "ingrained culture of graft" being the greater concern.
Reuters, on the return to crisis
"After four years of economic sacrifices, Greece bet it could agree an early end to its international bailout. Instead a stand off with creditors in a Paris townhouse led to new political uncertainty and another euro zone storm".
Greek Elections and Parties, Helena Smith, The Guardian
