The 370,000 votes and 9.30% of all legitimate ballots introduced the Greek Answer to fourth place within the European elections. On the similar time, they awarded her two seats within the European Parliament.
The 2 candidates chosen to signify it are Emmanuel Frankos with a six-digit variety of crosses (110,348) and n Galato Alexandraki with lower than half (51,267).
The previous renewed his time period, as he was the one who, as runner-up the primary time, had changed the president Kyriakos Velopoulos for the five-year time period 2019-2024. The second was elected for the primary time.
The election of each, nonetheless, is accompanied by the 2 electoral paradoxes.
The confusion with the overall
The 30-year-old Chioti Emmanuel Fragos was mistaken by many for him Frangouli Franco, honorary head of GES and former Minister of Protection. The truth that the Hellenic Answer MEP makes use of the diminutive Frangoulis in parentheses was sufficient to trigger confusion.
The very fact was highlighted by the retired officer himself in his put up, informing that he by no means ran for workplace with Velopoulos’s social gathering. Quite the opposite, he not directly however clearly accused Emmanuel Franco of exploiting the synonymy to be able to appeal to crosses. He even requested “this entire travesty to cease right here”.
The unknown breeder
And if the younger politician is near Mr. Velopoulos, within the case of the retired Evritissa, the details about her political background is unknown. As reported by the native media of Thrace, it is a 76-year-old former cattle breeder with a butcher son with out help in the local people.
Her origin seems to be from a village in Didymoteichos, however she had by no means been concerned with the general public up to now. Hellenic Answer MP Paris Papadakis confessed in a radio interview that “I’ve by no means seen the woman, I have no idea her and he or she actually doesn’t stay in Alexandroupoli”.
Regardless of this, Galato Alexandraki got here second within the preferences of the social gathering’s voters! One interpretation given is that as a result of she was first on the faction’s Euro poll, she was crucified by hundreds.
