Metron Analysis Poll: Greeks Fearful of Immigration

A recent Metron Analysis poll reveals that the majority of Greeks hold a negative view towards immigration and the country's immigration policy.

According to a recent poll conducted by Metron Analysis for MEGA, Greek public opinion is largely skeptical to negative regarding immigration. The findings indicate that most participants negatively assess the country's immigration policy, suggesting a prevalent climate of fear and caution towards immigrants and immigration practices. This trend reflects broader societal concerns regarding the integration and impact of migrants in Greece.

The poll also explored historical perspectives on migration, revealing that a majority of respondents (56%) agree that human history is significantly characterized by population movements. However, this acknowledgment varies based on political affiliation, with left-leaning participants showing higher agreement (65% among the left and 72% among center-left), while centrist right and right-wing respondents exhibit more divided opinions. This discrepancy underscores the different views among political groups on the subject of migration and its perceived implications for society.

When asked about the influence of immigration on modern Greece, the sentiment turned distinctly negative, with 52% of respondents expressing concerns about the adverse impacts of population movements on the shaping of contemporary Greek society. This finding indicates a complex interplay between historical recognition of migration's role and current apprehensions about its effects, revealing an underlying tension in the Greek narrative surrounding immigration.
