The survey, presented at the Alexis Tsipras Institute’s conference, reveals an overwhelming desire for a cohesive center-left force. A staggering 83% of SYRIZA and PASOK-KINAL voters support a merger of the parties, signaling a clear rejection of fragmentation and a yearning for a unified opposition. Even more striking, 54% of New Democracy voters view this potential alliance favorably, suggesting a broader dissatisfaction with the current political climate and an openness to a compelling alternative.
This resounding call for unity comes at a crucial juncture. As the poll highlights, the forces of the extreme right have gained alarming traction, commanding a concerning 45% increase in support. This surge necessitates a robust and unified response from those committed to progressive values. The message is clear: the time for division is over. The center-left must heed the people’s call and embrace collaboration. A united front, powered by shared values and a commitment to social justice, is wanted, it is essential to counter the alarming rise of the far-right and chart a brighter future for Greece. The potential for a seismic shift in the political landscape and the momentum for change is undeniable.
