Greek election heats up as party leaders debate the issues
Greece’s party leaders held a debate on Wednesday, touching on everything from the economy to foreign policy.

Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini English Edition, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the main takeaways from this week’s debate, explore what impact it could have on voting trends, and look at what the latest polls tell us about the prospects of a coalition government after elections.
