An exclusive Euronews poll is predicting a win for the incumbent Greek centre-right New
00:06
Democracy party in the European Parliament elections in June.
00:12
It shows the party lost 3% of its support between March and May, but still came out
00:18
on top.
00:20
It's been one year since Greeks went to the polls and elected New Democracy, led by Prime
00:25
Minister Hiriakos Mitsotakis, and the party appears to be retaining its popularity over
00:32
its moderate left-wing rivals Syriza and PASOK.
00:37
The Superpoll put Syriza in second place and PASOK third.
00:42
Mitsotakis leads Syriza's candidate for Prime Minister, Stefanos Kasalakis, by more than
00:47
20%.
00:51
Greece is somewhat of an outlier.
00:54
Most of the European ruling parties are likely to face setbacks in the elections.
01:00
Mitsotakis' New Democracy is expected to win one more seat in the European Parliament.
01:07
And Syriza could keep its four seats in the European left benches.
01:13
PASOK appears set to secure three MEPs to the Social and Democrats group.
01:18
The Greek Solution party is expected to grow and send two MEPs to the European Conservatives
01:24
and Reformers.
01:26
The Communist Party of Greece could have two seats in the non-attached group.
01:33
With the far-right Spartans movement out of the race, the ultra-conservatives' votes could
01:38
be absorbed by New Democracy.
01:43
The ruling party has taken steps to move away from the far-right, with Mitsotakis recently
01:49
legalising same-sex marriage.
01:55
The country's Supreme Court barred the Spartans over its alleged ties with the banned far-right
02:00
Golden Dawn party.
02:05
The results mean that controversial New Democracy candidate Fredi Boleri could have a shot at
02:10
entering the European Parliament.
02:13
Boleri is serving a two-year prison sentence in Albania for election fraud.
02:19
Voting will begin on June 9.
02:25
Projections suggest radical right and Eurosceptic parties could gain 30 more seats in the European
02:32
Parliament in the next European elections.
02:35
This political trend could lead to a change in women's rights, as it would move the EU
02:40
away from a feminist agenda.
02:42
Gender equality expert says that for many women, the EU remains irrelevant to their
02:46
lives.
02:47
"In Europe, there are 10 million women more than men, which means we are the biggest population
03:02
in Europe.
03:04
But still we are underrepresented."
03:07
European feminist organisations are unhappy at what they consider a lack of investment
03:12
to respond back to misinformation and anti-gender movements.
03:16
"Online platforms amplifying conspiracy theories and disinformation have emboldened the far-right
03:22
and anti-gender movement, allowing them to form strong social networks and assure AI-generative
03:29
disinformation through algorithmic bias.
03:32
And these anti-gender networks, they're well-funded, they have a wealth of resources to tap into,
03:40
and they're using that to create campaigns and bots on social media.
03:43
And in comparison to the feminist movement, we are underfunded and under-resourced, and
03:48
we face incredible difficulties in trying to combat this."
03:51
Women who decide to enter a political career have to weigh up greater exposure to violence
03:56
more than ever before.
03:58
Psychological, physical and online violence are some of the problems they face that can
04:03
lead to them giving up politics or becoming less vocal.
04:07
"I've noticed, I see today that all the attacks that concern me are attacks that aim
04:18
to delegitimize my speech, to discredit what I say, and always with an orientation that
04:27
is targeted at my gender identity, the fact that I am a woman.
04:32
A lot of criticism, a lot of insults, remarks about the physical, which always aims to create,
04:40
to arouse an environment of fear, an environment that destabilizes."
