A vote in favor of political stability, which is, however, accompanied by a resounding alarm for government parties seems to have been given by voters who voted for European elections, according to the estimates made by political parties’ staffs.
There is no governmental incongruity from the results of exit polls, stress New Democracy’s party members. The difference of 3% shown by polls before the elections is a result that the party will be looking into seriously, however, as high-ranking ND members state, they will await until later at night for the first results from the Interior Ministry, since exit polls given last Sunday were shot down. The ELIA party’s exit poll rates have been a pleasant surprise.
In PASOK, after the announcement of the results of exit polls, the party members reacted with modest positivity. Evangelos Venizelos’ partners are keeping a low profile until the first real results are shown.
At the same time, according to Venizelos’ colleagues, this confirms the call to all the democratic forces to join together towards progressive stability.
Last but not least, the New Democracy party states that they have received the message from the citizens that the latter are tired of austerity measures. However, they are unequivocal on the fact that the government will exhaust its four-year term and that SYRIZA has failed to turn these elections into a referendum.
