Poll gives boost to Greens

The Green Party is close to crossing the 5% threshold needed to retake a presence in Parliament at 4.9%, according to a poll carried out by Factum Invenio. The poll suggests that elections would still be won by the opposition Social Democratic Party, with 27.3% of the vote, though their lead over the senior government Civic Democratic Party has decreased. The Christian Democrats, who failed to enter the Chamber of Deputies last year for the first time, would return to parliament while the junior coalition party Public Affairs would not receive 5% of the vote. The left-wing parties would have a parliamentary majority of 111 mandates, according to the poll.
