His eve debate political leaders, Kyriakos Mitsotakis rekindled interest the day after the May 21 election, stating (ANT1) that as we were going to a repeat election, “of course there should be a debate between me and Mr. Tsipras.”

And to SYRIZA’s insistence on debates between them, he replied that all parties should participate in the elections with simple proportionality, and in the next elections, since there is a bonus and it concerns the first two parties, there should be debates between them.

This is a new condition in the “tradition” that has been formed until now in the pre-election television competitions between political leaders, as in the past we either had tele-fights with all the leaders of the parties of the parliament, such as what will happen now, or one with them and one with the leaders the first two parties.

Of course, the data given by simple analogy also influences the debate about television contests of candidates.

Teleconference of political leaders scheduled for tomorrow this will be the first since September 2015 as in the 2019 elections, despite the fact that the Inter-Party Committee agreed to hold a debate with the participation of all political leaders, after successive changes, no agreement was reached on the date and the plan was derailed.

However, the start for televised debates in our country, in the transfer of telecombat candidates abroad, it is believed that this was a meeting Andrea Papandreou, Konstantinou Mitsotakis And Harilaou Floraki at Panteillon University in 1990. in a discussion moderated by Yannis Kapsis.

Although the televised sessions were more like one-on-one lectures on foreign policy and the situation in Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was something new for political morality. Of course, this is very different from today’s debates, which, however, are still held under very strict and restrictive rules.
