Maria Karystianou targets political self-governance in Greece
Maria Karystianou, leader of the 'Elpida gia ti Dimokratia' party, has announced her intention to seek a parliamentary majority on her own in upcoming elections. She explicitly ruled out any cooperation with traditional Greek political parties, including New Democracy and PASOK, as well as political figures such as Alexis Tsipras.
Karystianou addressed recent criticisms directed at her, describing them as 'character assassination' rather than legitimate political debate. She defended the legality of her medical clinic following recent inspections and addressed broader issues in the Greek healthcare sector, noting that public hospitals face 1.3 billion euros in debt and significant staffing shortages.
Her political platform includes radical reforms to the justice system and the removal of Article 86, which she claims is contrary to European law. She also emphasized an economic program focused on the primary sector, small businesses, and support for families and students.
