Another striking result of this survey is that an overwhelming majority of citizens across all political parties and social groups—including public servants themselves—are in favor of abolishing the permanent status of civil servants. According to Marc’s poll, two out of three public employees agree with ending tenure in the public sector so that those not performing their duties properly can be removed. Furthermore, nine out of ten citizens believe that those causing damage to universities should bear the cost of restoration!

Marc’s survey indicates a trend toward a gradual return to political normalcy: New Democracy (ND) shows a strong 1.7-point increase in voter intention, and Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s suitability for prime minister rises by 2.1 points to 32.3%, with a 20-point lead over Zoe Konstantopoulou. In voter intention estimates, ND stands at 30.6%, with an upper limit of 33.2% and a lower limit of 28%, close to the results of the European elections.

The rise of ND is primarily attributed to the society moving away from the single-issue focus on the Tempi tragedy, as well as measures supporting tenants and low pensioners, and the overall feeling across recent polls that “the government has returned” after the latest cabinet reshuffle.

ND’s recovery is accompanied by an increase in positive opinions about the government and the prime minister, reaching around 39%. Meanwhile, Plefsi Eleftherias drops by 0.6 points—for the first time since January, when the first large gatherings for Tempi took place. It has lost 2.7 points compared to April in the question of which party offers the most substantial opposition.
