2009: The Elections that Marked the End of the Metapolitefsi Era
摘要
Professor Nikos Marantzidis discusses the 2009 elections, PASOK’s victory, and George Papandreou’s rise to power. This was the last electoral contest before the memoranda and the challenging decade of the 2010s, which significantly altered Greece’s political landscape. It marked the beginning of something entirely new, as Mr. Nikos Marantzidis characteristically notes. The discussion includes the decline trajectory of New Democracy after the 2007 elections, PASOK’s efforts to regroup, and SYRIZA’s brief polling surge. Professor Marantzidis provides a detailed explanation of the electoral geography, PASOK’s gains, and New Democracy’s losses.
