With the September 20th Greek snap elections fast approaching, it seems that the country’s political leaders will face off directly before the Greek voters’ eyes.
According to local media reports, SYRIZA and New Democracy have agreed to engage in two televised debates prior to the elections. The most likely dates for the live televised events are September 10 and September 14.
The September 10 debate would include all the Greek political party leaders while the September 14 debate would be between the two lead opposing candidates; former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and New Democracy leader Evangelos Meimarakis.
On Monday, Tsipras had publicly agreed to debate Meimarakis.
“We accept as many debates as they want, wherever they want them…We never tried to hide,” he said.
