[02] Student elections throughout the country

The elections are taking place in the climate created by discussions on the revision of article 16 of the constitution concerning private universities.

The groups participating in the elections are the New Democracy party-affiliated DAP-NDFK, that has been coming first in votes over the past 19 years, followed by the PASOK party-affiliated PASP, PSK (Communist Party of Greece-affiliated), EAAK, Diktyo, Genova Initiative and Leftists Formations.

Students participating in last year's elections reached 160,000, while this year's participation is expected to be similar.
