The 2023 Piraean general election was held on 10 September 2023 to vote the formation of a new legislature in the Piraean Senate and its 125 members. It was a snap election convened by the Premier Georgios Konstantinou after the 2023 Piraean regional elections, in which People's Party received majorities in most regions[1]; the election was perceived by the political class as a was of finding exit to the ongoing judicial deadlock.
Prior to the regional elections, government and opposition saw numerous clashes over the renovation of mandates in the General Magistrature of the Judiciary[2]; the LK Minister of Justice, Christoforos Kostopoulos-Kolokotronis, denounced the PSEE's intentions to block the renovation by not providing enough votes in the Senate and using the progressive majority it had on the judiciary branch. The crisis was deepened on March, after the renounce of Romulos Kapos-Tanou[3], magistrate close to the government; shortly after, the Presidency announced the start of negotiations with the government and opposition to renovate mandates and propose changes in the law. [4]
The Piraese Socialist Workers Union was severely affected by its clash against the government; during February, negotiations on the Senate to renovate the members of the Presidency begun, and the PSEE was unable to reach agreements with the rest of the centre-left and left to grant a seat to its nominees.[5] The situation forced a crisis inside the PSEE, with several members demanding the dismissal of Eleftheria Rodiales[6] A month later, the party chose the former Minister of Infrastructure during the Panopoulos government, Antonis Moustakopoulos, to succeed Rodiales [7] amid record lows in opinion polls. [8]
During the regional campaign, Georgios Konstantinou was internally criticised for the lack of agreement with the PSEE, and sectors of the conservative wing of the party led by Evangelos Polakis and Eliza Andreodoglou demanded a marked swing to the right. In May, the government proposed changes in the Immigration Law and Borders Control, which emulated models already existing in Paretia and Etruria, arising much debate among the opposition.[9] During the same month, Maria Katsaniotis, which occupied the Ministry of Welfare, was accused of corruption, after her husband was found being part of a scheme that granted public licitations that were never completed in municipalities governed by LK. [10]
The election saw a decrease in the turnout percentage (-2.6% when compared with the previous general election). The People's Party received the largest percentage, with a large distance from the second largest party, the PSEE. After much speculation about the possible results, the far-right, Force Piraea, became fourth largest party in the Senate; the liberal centre-right suffered enormous loses, which were credited to a lack of assertiveness during the regional elections and the last campaigns, several members of Democrats later joined the People's Party, formally merging both parties later. Georgios Konstantinou was finally granted the confidence of the Senate with votes of the People's Party, Democrats, Change, the Novalian People's Party and the Humanist Centre.
