Greeks Increasingly Concerned & Angry Survey Reveals

People in Greece are deeply concerned about the economic and social situation in the country and are angry with the political system. This resulted from a survey carried out by Kapa Research on behalf of the Sunday newspaper “To Vima tis Kyriakis” (The Sunday Tribune).
The percentages that indicate how people would vote if elections were held next Sunday are meaningful for the country’s two largest political parties: Pasok (governing socialist party) and New Democrats (centre-right main opposition party). Pasok would obtain just 16.5% of votes in that case, New Democrats 17.8%. The number of votes for these parties taken together (34.3%) is lower than the number of people who did not know for which party to vote (35%). On the other hand, 49.6% of interviewed people approve of the violent and aggressive reactions towards Ministers and Members of Parliament (against 40.5% who disapprove). Such reactions are considered ”spontaneous” by 61.4% of interviewed (against 32.3% who see them as ”organised actions”) and 58.7% do not see the small left-wing Syriza party as responsible for this type of response, as Pasok claims.
Besides, 67.6% of people who were interviewed for the survey said they were in favour of organizing early elections this autumn if the goals of the programme are not reached by September. On the other hand, 24.4% were against early elections.
Focusing on the much-discussed public administration, 54.2% of people in Greece, according to the survey, were in favour of dismissing redundant civil servants.
