"The Rise of Greece's Authoritarian Right: A European Union's Desired Path?"

The re-election of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, a scandal-plagued conservative, as Greece's Prime Minister, along with the rise of far-right parties, highlights the disastrous consequences of the austerity programs imposed by the European Union (EU) on Greece. The EU's support for Mitsotakis and its failure to address his abuses of power demonstrate a disregard for democratic rights. The austerity measures have led to a severe economic depression, with unemployment soaring and social services crumbling. The EU's role in Greece's decline raises questions about the future of the EU and the need for democratic reform.
