Karystianou: Abortions a matter of public consultation – I speak with people from all parties
“Because I am a pediatrician, I am torn as to which rights should prevail, those of the mother or of the embryo” – Regarding the party she is in the process of founding, she said she would not want labels “because I speak with people who belong to all parties”

The emerging party of Karystianou is particularly appealing to those coming from Niki, as well as to Sarakis, who was elected with Velopoulos. Some overtures are also being made by Tzakri. Admiral Apostolakis is undecided, while Athena Linou and Giannis Sarakiotis appear closer to Tsipras
