Greece’s party leaders agree to hold TV debate ahead of second election

·

A debate between all the leaders of Greece’s parliamentary parties will be held ahead of the June 25 national election.

The debate will be held on June 15 as decided by the Inter-Party Elections Committee, which met under the chairmanship of acting Minister of the Interior Kalliopi Spanou.

SYRIZA also requested a separate teleconference between Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Alexis Tsipras, but the proposal was rejected by the representatives of the other parties.

The leaders will be asked to answer six questions based on the same thematic topics as the last debate, with the difference being that this time journalists will have the opportunity to ask a free question at the end.
