Far-right and left-wing fringe parties aim to enter Greek parliament as center-right dominates
- Up to five small parties on the far right and far left could enter Parliament in Greece's repeat elections.
- The center-right New Democracy party is expected to retain its lead but wants an absolute majority to avoid forming a coalition.
- The entry of more fringe parties, especially from the extreme right spectrum, could complicate the legislative process over the next four years.
- The likeliest of the fringe right to win representation is Elliniki Lysi, while Plefsi Eleftherias has the better chance of entering Parliament on the far left.
- The far-right Elliniki Lysi and newcomer Niki offer viewpoints alien to most Greeks but are a far cry from the Nazi-inspired Golden Dawn party that was broken and imprisoned for running a criminal organization.
