Greece faces voter privacy scandal and inflation debate ahead of EU election
- Greece is dealing with a voter privacy scandal as data from the Interior Ministry leaked to a New Democracy MEP ahead of the EU election.
- On the other hand, Greeks are enraged over the soaring prices, particularly of food and fuel, leading to intense political discussions on how to tackle inflation.
- The upcoming EU election in Greece is overshadowed by these controversial issues, stirring political debates and concerns among the citizens.
The inflation is causing problems for the ruling party in Greece. The price of food in Greece is rising quickly compared to other countries that use the euro. The cost of fuel in Greece is also higher than the average in the European Union. Despite these challenges, the ruling party is expected to win the upcoming EU elections. The election results may send a message to progressive parties that they need to work together to challenge the conservatives in power. The leader of the main opposition party in Greece is calling for a united front among progressive parties to create a new plan for governing the country. There was a scandal involving the leaking of voter data to a member of the ruling party who was running for reelection. The Data Protection Authority fined the Interior Ministry and the MEP for violating voters' privacy. The MEP stepped down from the election campaign, and further investigations are ongoing. The upcoming elections in Greece will take place on June 9th. Greek citizens living abroad can vote by mail until June 8th.
