The claim
“Greece's political crisis is intensifying amid a scandal storm, with growing calls for early elections and many citizens distrusting opinion polls.”
Coverage of Greek politics during the farm subsidy scandal.
Our verdict
Mostly True
The farm subsidy scandal forced resignations and a reshuffle; claims about calls for elections and distrust of polls are the outlet's characterisation.
What we found
Ministers resigned and parliament later lifted immunity for 13 MPs. Opposition parties did call for elections. The claim about public distrust of polls is an interpretation we could not measure.
The evidence
1 of 2 sources support the claim; none contradict it.
