The Italian press is today dealing extensively with the election result in Greece. “Political earthquake and triumph for Mitsotakis, who won twice as much as SYRIZA”, writes the newspaper Corriere della Sera. “If in the next elections the Greek prime minister receives the same votes as yesterday, he will secure a number of deputies, thanks to which he will not need any cooperation, he will be a blue absolute sovereign,” adds the Milan newspaper.

The envoy of Corriere in Athens underlines that “already in the afternoon, in the SYRIZA offices, no one noticed that there was a climate of disarmament”, while he notes that “PASOK’s result is clearly positive and that “the possibility of an alliance between SYRIZA and PASOK , has definitively become a thing of the past.”

The Italian newspaper finally writes that “the political heirs of Papandreou, in PASOK, are a positive surprise and reach 11.5% of the votes”.
