Polling stations open for Greece general election

Greeks head to the polls in a general election that promises to be the closest in more than a decade, with three main parties competing for seats in the 300-member parliament.

The EU country goes into the polls in fairly robust economic health, with unemployment and inflation falling and struggling from a crippling debt crisis a decade ago. But economic issues remain squarely in focus even though a post-COVID tourism revival helped Greece book growth of 5.9 percent in 2022.
