paragraph_text: Katerina Sakellaropoulou
  
  In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, the outgoing President Katerina Sakellaropoulou is eligible for a second five-year term. She has nontheless been the subject of much criticism, notably both for her alleged inaction on the violations of the rule of law for which the conservative government has been criticized, and her progressive stances on issues like LGBT and refugee rights, by opposite sides of the political aisle. Moreover, during her five-year term, the presidential office suffered an unprecedented loss of popularity.
