Communist Party (KKE) General Secretary Dimitris Koutsoumbas cast his ballot at a high school in the Athens-area district of Kallithea at around 11 a.m. local time (09.00 GMT), stating that we should all vote with our “hands on our hearts” with our sights on the “next day”.

He said the future will be difficult because lengthy EC-ECB-IMF bailout memorandums signed by successive Greek governments will be in force, while calling on people to show solidarity and strength together to support workers’ rights.
