From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THE Greek Prime Minister, Constantine Mitsotakis, conceded defeat in the general election after the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, Pasok, led by the former prime minister Andreas Papandreou, 74, took a strong lead last night.

The Interior Ministry announced early today that, with 72 per cent of votes counted, Pasok could not be overtaken with 46.6 per cent support to New Democracy's 40.1 per cent. This would give Pasok about 169 seats in the 300-seat parliament.
