Greece has not opened its borders in response, and in fact, has beefed up security along the divide. Tensions are high between Turkey and Greece after Turkey decided to allow refugees passage to Europe with claims the country had "reached its capacity." The move trampled on a 2016 deal struck with the European Union to halt migrants traveling from the Middle East towards Europe, and it also puts neighboring Greece in a difficult position.
However, the party came in fourth with less than 10% of the vote.

Before this weekend's election, there were fears that a neo-fascist party, whose leader is on trial for hate speech, would be a decisive factor in forming the country's next government. Politicians saw the result as a clear response to the 2018 murder of a journalist who was killed after he reported on tax evasion and fraud among Slovak businesspeople connected to the highest levels of the country's government. The killings prompted some of Slovakia's biggest anti-government protests since the communist era. The Eastern European country of Slovakia has successfully quelled fears of a neo-fascist surge by electing an anti-corruption party to lead its government. His trial is set to start two weeks after the election, but he doesn't need to give up his political seat unless he is convicted. The stakes are especially high for Netanyahu, who is facing charges of bribery and fraud and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases. There's a possibility that neither man wins today either, which means the country would have to go for a fourth vote. Both leaders have had their shot at forming a government with their respective parties at the helm, and both have failed. The election pits current Prime Minister and Israel's longest-serving leader Benjamin Netanyahu against his perennial challenger, former military chief Benny Gantz. Israelis are heading to the polls today for their third election in 11 months with hopes of breaking the country's deeply entrenched political deadlock.
