ATHENS: Greece’s centre-right PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday called general election on May 21 as his party’s long-standing lead in opinion polls has declined in the aftermath of the country’s worst train disaster.
A February 28 collision between two trains left 57 dead. The disaster stirred public anger, cutting the conservative New Democracy party’s support by a half-point to 4 points over Syriza party.
