On Wednesday night (10th May), the leaders of the six political parties currently in government gathered at the headquarters of ERT in Agia Paraskevi in Athens to take part in what was billed as “The Leaders’ Debate”. It was the first to be held since 2015 and was treated as a news event of first importance. Reporters crowded around the entrance to the building to glean what comments they could from the arriving party heads, while inside the building a press room had been set up for international correspondents.
