Episode Synopsis

Phoebe Fronista and Nick Malkoutzis return after a prolonged absence to discuss what's behind Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis's political dominance in Greece and whether things are more complex than they look.Their discussion was prompted by a piece Nick wrote recently for The Agora on MacroPolis's website after listening to Mitsotakis speak at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where the Greek PM shed light on the political strategy that has helped his centre-right New Democracy party comfortably see off its opponents.As Nick and Phoebe discuss, this success cannot be separated from the Greek context because serious problems with the opposition, media and institutions have provided Mitsotakis with considerable assistance.Useful readingRule of Law and Media Freedom in Greece - European ParliamentStemming the Tide of Greek Media Freedom Decline - MFRRCorruption Perceptions Index (Greece) - Transparency InternationalA Greek form of Triangulation - MacroPolis Hosted on Acast.
