The latest Real Polls survey conducted for Protagon shows a noticeable double-digit lead for the New Democracy party (ND) over its main rival, PASOK, with ND receiving 24% of the vote if elections were held next week. Citizens, however, express widespread anger regarding ongoing scandals linked to the OPEKEPE (an agricultural payment agency) and the GSEE (the Greek General Confederation of Labour). This dissatisfaction extends to perceptions of responsibility shared amongst all political parties, indicating a troubling sentiment towards the political landscape of Greece.

The poll's findings suggest a shift in voter sentiment, with the ND projected to receive 28.9% of the vote in a potential election, followed by PASOK at 12.7%, and other smaller parties such as Plevsi Eleftherias and the Greek Solution also gaining traction. Notably, traditional parties like SYRIZA seem to be losing ground, with a projected percentage of just 5.3%. The anger expressed by citizens reflects a growing frustration not only with the management and accountability of public institutions but also with the perceived failure of all parties to address these scandals effectively.

Overall, these polling results highlight the changing dynamics of Greek politics amidst significant public discontent. The electorate’s response to the scandals could lead to realignments in party support and greater calls for accountability from their leaders. It also underscores the necessity for political parties to improve their transparency and engagement with the public to regain trust ahead of the next election.
