ATHENS — Part-time TV presenter, miracle cure salesman and budding politician Kyriakos Velopoulos wants to build a wall to keep migrants out of Greece. The victory was unexpected, he says, sitting in the television studio where he does most of his broadcasts from. Opinion polls give his party between 2.5% and 3.5% of the vote, a level that could well give it up to 10 seats and a measure of influence in the fractious Greek parliament. Velopoulos said his business model used natural resources to create jobs, which led him to his next dig at his political opponents. “I would be proud if I were responsible for the end of Nazis in Greece,” he said.
