With 159 votes out of the 300-member parliament, Greece’s ruling New Democracy party (EPP) passed the 2025 budget, while a large majority voted in favour defence spending.
The vote occurred amid growing social dissatisfaction due to the high prices of essential goods.
New Democracy steadily leads the latest polls with 24%, down from 40.5% in the 2023 legislative elections.
