Today, Greek citizens vote in the second round of local and European Parliament elections.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras stated Greece's goals over the next few years, which focus on tax breaks, concrete investments, and job developments.

Germany is the main player in the European efforts to salvage the Greek economy, and arguably has a vested interest in the political goings on in Greece. In talking about the Greek local elections, the German speaking media note marginal results, a victory for SYRIZA in Athens, and a victory for Samaras in regional elections. The whole view from Germany is one of a neck-to-neck race in a balanced battle.
