Lima, Jun 3 (EFE).- With promises of economic and political change, to "save" Peru from "communism" and to defeat Covid-19, presidential candidates Pedro Castillo and Keiko Fujimori closed their campaigning ahead of the second round of elections on Sunday.Leftist Castillo and the right-wing Fujimori staged massive rallies on Thursday in the central Plaza Dos de Mayo and the district of Villa El Salvador, respectively, despite gatherings being prohibited due to the health emergency.Without the authorities intervening, the rallies were the culmination of one of the most polarized campaigns of recent decades in a country faced with proposals for economic and political change on one hand, and a defense of the neoliberal model that has prevailed for three decades, on the other.

Supporters of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' New Democracy party blare air horns at the party's main electoral kiosk in Athens as exit polls show the party to be on course to win Sunday's election. His New Democracy party is projected to have obtained 36 to 40 percent of the votes -- well ahead of leftist challenger Alexis Tsipras' Syriza party, which is expected to have secured 25 to 29 percent of the ballot - but could be forced to call a second round of votes as it failed to garner enough support to rule alone.
