The politics of Greece takes place in a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Prime Minister of Greece is the head of government, and of a multi-party system. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Hellenic Parliament. Between the restoration of democracy in 1974 and the Greek government-debt crisis the party system was dominated by the liberal-conservative New Democracy (Νέα Δημοκρατία – Nea Dimokratia) and the social-democratic Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Πανελλήνιο Σοσιαλιστικό Κίνημα – Panellinio Sosialistiko Kinima, ΠΑΣΟΚ/PASOK).
The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.
The Constitution of Greece, which describes Greece as a "presidential parliamentary republic", includes extensive specific guarantees of civil liberties and vests the powers of the head of state in a president elected by parliament. The Greek governmental structure is similar to that found in many other Western democracies, and has been described as a compromise between the French and German models. The prime minister and cabinet play the central role in the political process, while the president performs some executive and legislative functions in addition to ceremonial duties. Voting in Greece is compulsory but is not enforced.
This is a brief overview of four types of governments that swept through ancient Greece.

In Greece a new government has been sworn in following a minor cabinet reshuffle aimed at pushing through financial reforms. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said the new government will give Athens the necessary boost to its battered economy. The cabinet revamp left in place most key government posts, including the Finance Minister who is leading tense talks with international creditors. Several anti-privatization supporters were also moved out of key posts but remained in the government. Athens is eager to receive the latest portion of a loan agreement with Eurozone creditors. Tsipras hopes the economy will rebound from recession this year, and has pinned his hopes on debt relief from international creditors.

Well a Grexit is off the table, at least for now. Eurozone leaders agreed to offer Greece a third bailout worth up to €86 billion funded by the European Stability Mechanism, which is the EU’s permanent bailout fund. The deal was settled on Monday morning, after marathon negotiations in Brussels – 17 hours of talks on potential reforms. Ameera David weighs in. Then, RT correspondent Daniel Hawkins reports from Greece on the latest developments. Afterwards, Ameera sits down with Edward Harrison to continue the discussion on Greece, who reported from the ground during the referendum. Edward tells us what kind of resistance we should expect on reforms and if Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras can get them passed. After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at a failed attempt by the govern...
More films about Greece: https://rtd.rt.com/tags/greece/ Greece has been trying to stay afloat ever since the financial crisis began in late 2009 as the government battled low growth rates, soaring inflation as well as high budget and trade deficits. That’s when the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission, also known as the troika of lenders, stepped in. But that came with a price. To date the government has had to slash spending by over 75 billion euros. Education, welfare and healthcare saw deep cuts. People took to the streets as many lost their jobs, while others saw their pensions and salaries significantly decreased. To make matters worse Greeks were expected to contribute more since taxes and the overall cost of living went up. Homelessnes...
The Global Financial Crisis Of Greece - Documentary Films The Greek government-debt crisis (also referred to as the Greek Depression of the Great Depression) is part of the ongoing European debt crisis, being triggered by the turmoil of the Great Recession, and believed to have been directly triggered locally in Greece by a combination of structural weaknesses of the Greek economy along with a decade long pre-existence of extremely high structural deficits and debt-to-GDP degrees on public accounts. In late 2009, fears of a sovereign debt crisis developed amongst investors worrying Greece's ability to satisfy its debt obligations, because of a reported strong boost in government debt levels along with continued existence of high architectural deficits. This caused a crisis of confidence, ...
