SBS Dateline | Interview with Eva Kaili

Greek politician Eva Kaili is running in the 17th June elections as a candidate who’s in touch with the Greek people… opposing salary and pension reductions and arguing for less stringent spending cuts.

But how will her social democrat PASOK party turn the promises into reality?

Mark Davis put the questions to her in a special edition of Dateline from Greece.

Kaili is a former journalist and news reader, who’s gained considerable popularity since her election in 2009 as one of the youngest members of parliament.

PASOK came third in the 6th May elections, when no party achieved a majority and no agreement could be reached on a coalition.

But with opinion polls still putting the party in third place, how does Eva Kaili think it can turn things around with only 12 days before the election?
