A new opinion poll conducted by ALCO, presented on Monday evening, points to new losses for the ruling New Democracy party and main opposition PASOK, while public confidence in the rule of law in Greece remains sharply negative.
According to the survey, conducted between May 5 and May 9, New Democracy led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis fell to 21.1%, down from 22.8% in the previous ALCO poll. PASOK, headed by Nikos Androulakis, dropped to 11.3% from 12.2%.
The right-of-center Elliniki Lysi (Greek Solution) party stood at 7.4%, followed by the Communist Party (KKE) at 6.5%, the Plefsi Eleftherias (Course of Freedom) party at 5.3%, and SYRIZA at 3.1%, continuing its prolonged electoral decline.
Several smaller parties, including Niki, MeRA25, the New Left, Voice of Reason and the Democrats, remained below Greece’s 3% parliamentary threshold.
The survey also highlighted widespread public skepticism over the functioning of the rule of law in Greece, an issue that has dominated political debate in recent months amid investigations linked to European Union funding and allegations of institutional dysfunction.
Asked whether they viewed the handling of the ag subsidies (OPEKEPE) case by European Chief Prosecutor Laura Kovesi as interference in Greece’s political life, 64% answered negatively, while only 26% said they believed it constituted political intervention.
An overwhelming 78% of respondents said laws in Greece are applied selectively, compared with just 17% who said the legal system functions equally for all citizens.
Corruption was identified as the main obstacle to the rule of law by 82% of respondents, while 70% cited government interference and 68% pointed to weak implementation of legislation.
The poll also measured voter attitudes toward possible new political formations. Regarding a potential new party associated with former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, 71% said they were unlikely to support it, while 17% said they would consider voting for it.
Meanwhile, a proposed movement linked to Maria Karystianou — whose public profile rose following the Tempi rail disaster debate — also faced skepticism, with 65% saying they were unlikely to support such an initiative, up from 59% in April. Fifteen percent said they viewed the prospect positively.
The findings reflect a broader climate of political fragmentation and voter fatigue that Greek media and analysts have increasingly highlighted in recent weeks, amid continuing pressure on both the governing party and the traditional opposition.
