"We are still here, after four-and-a-half years of struggle, the struggle to keep Greece standing upright," is how main opposition party SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras started his speech at the 84th Thessaloniki International Fair on Saturday evening. 

The President of New Democracy (ND), Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the country would be led to the ballots again, in the event the July 7 national elections did not produce a result.

Beleaguered incumbent Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday sat for questions in the studio of his harshest media critic, Athens-based Skai TV, personally overturning an “embargo” against the outlet by his government and ruling SYRIZA party, days before a general election where forecasts show him losing.
