The outcome of the Greek election on 25th January is being watched closely by euro-zone leaders and the financial markets. It may also prove to be a turning point in Greek politics. What are the implications for Greece’s economic path? Have the elections shifted the Greek party system decisively? What do the results mean for the political extremes and the disengaged?
This panel explored what the elections mean for Greece and its place in Europe.
