On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Restoration of Democracy in Greece in 1974, the 26th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival organizes the presentation of the book Half a Century of Elections: Discussing the Contests of the Metapolitefsi (edited by Petros Ioannidis and Elias Tsaousakis, Polis Publications, in Greek). This book records an important aspect of the Third Hellenic Republic: all the national elections of the Metapolitefsi period, from 1974 to 2023. Wandering through all these electoral contests is also a way of trying to find an answer to the question: What is the Metapolitefsi, anyway? The presentation will be accompanied by a discussion with the authors Petros Ioannidis (Political Analyst) and Ilias Tsaousakis (Political Scientist) and MPs and ministers of the Greek Parliament. The debate will be moderated by journalist Rania Tzima.
