Greece exptects to have an eight-party parliament after the elections, if the estimates of the ALCO polling agency come true. According to the results, New Democracy will win 20.8% of the votes, and PASOK - 13.5%. The two parties now have a smaller percentage than those who have not yet decided for whom they will vote. They are 22% of the participants in the poll.

Third is the Communist Party with 8%. The Democratic Left is approved by 7.8% of the participants, Independent Greeks - 7.1%, the left coalition SYRIZA - 6%. 3.9% of the people said they would vote with the white ballot or their vote will not be valid. 11.6% said they would not vote.

A poll of Metron Analysis shows that the rate of PASOK fell by 2.5% compared with the result two weeks ago, when the party was headed by Evangelos Venizelos. The results of this poll show an even more fragmented parliament, which will include ten parties. 20.8% of the participants said they would vote for New Democracy and 15% for PASOK. Third is SYRIZA with 11.5%, followed by the Independent Greeks of Panos Kamenos with 10.6%, the Communist Party with 10.5%, the Democratic Left with 9%. Particularly high is the percentage of participants approving the neo-Nazis Golden Dawn - 5.5%. Next are the Green Ecologists with 4.6% and LAOS with 3%.

At the same time, the government is trying to dispel doubts that there will be no elections, but not quite convincingly, because it has not yet announced the date when they will be held.  It is believed that most likely they will be held on 6 May "or a little later. In any case, they will be held soon," as noted by Interior Minister Tassos Yianitsis.

He also stressed, "Anyway, whether they cost 50 or 100 million euro or even more, citizens pay for the elections. They expect to learn how they will stop paying for everything that is going on." The Minister added that politicians should tell people what the current state of Greece is, what they offer and what will be the consequences of implementing their proposals.

In an attempt to mitigate the concerns for postponing the elections, Minister George Stavropoulos said that the date has not yet been announced to meet all the prerequisites of the law, like informing President Carlos Papoulias first. On the other hand, Prime Minister Lucas Papademos, who is on an official visit to Cyprus, has additionally doubted it.

"The recapitalization of Greek banks will begin immediately - to 20 April and is expected to be completed by early September," he said, while his close associates were trying to distinguish between the recapitalization and the elections. Reliable sources insist that the most likely date is 6 May but the option of 13 May is still open.

What is certain is that during the weekend, the Greek Prime Minister will consider all details and that he has already taken the decision to suspend the work of the parliament on Tuesday or Wednesday. His purpose is for all bills under consideration to be voted before the elections are announced.

Sources say Lucas Papademos intends to inform the President early next week and to declare elections at a meeting of the Council of Ministers later on Wednesday.

Political circles continue to believe that this development will be problematic in the present political situation. While some of the ministers who earlier had opposed the elections and the formation of another government, like the Italian one, now support them but many lawmakers are sceptical.
