A few minutes ago we had her first reaction New Republic for the first ones exit polls of European electionswith Piraeus sources recommending patience, noting that “we have to wait for the official results to comment on a clear picture”.

“The first fact is that we should be concerned about the increased abstinence,” says the ruling party, adding then:

“Even in the worst-case scenario based on the exit polls, we are talking about a significant victory, the largest in the history of the European elections, given the fact that the largest differences between the first and second parties that have occurred since European elections have been held they were: 9 units in 2004, 8.8 in 1981 and 9.4 units in 2019.

Certainly the citizens showed that they trust us, but, at the same time, they also sent a message that they have strict requirements for us to run even faster and to correct mistakes and failures. It is a given that we must listen even more carefully to the concerns and concerns of the citizens. To respond to their requests and expectations.

Let’s also not underestimate what seems to be happening across Europe, where most ruling parties are collapsing, with Germany and France being the most prominent examples. The rise of the Far Right is a common recommendation.”

Regarding SYRIZA, Piraeus notes that “every party has the right to set the bar where it wishes, high or low. From what is seen, SYRIZA is approaching the percentages of its electoral defeat, which led Alexis Tsipras to resign. In fact, it is far below the 23% of the last European elections, when it had received 6 seats in the European Parliament”.
