Why Greece’s Austerity Nightmare Will Never End | Moira Lavelle | TMR

Moira Lavelle joins the program to discuss her piece in Jacobin "Greece’s Election Offers Little Hope for an End to Austerity". Greece's general election reflects voters' limited faith in Syriza's ability to undo the austerity it helped impose, with over 10 percent of the electorate undecided. The right-wing New Democracy, in power since 2019, is unlikely to secure another majority, while the left-wing parties struggle to resonate with voters. The campaign has been marked by disappointment and malaise, with New Democracy focusing on stability and Syriza highlighting scandals. The train crash tragedy in Tempi has further fueled discontent, but no single party is poised to conquer the Greek parliament, and the possibility of a coalition remains uncertain. Many voters express frustration and a lack of representation, considering which party would do the least damage as they head to the polls.
