Greek PM Mitsotakis faces historic dip in support amid mounting criticism

Recent opinion polls show Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' New Democracy government slipping below a 25% support threshold, the lowest for any post‑metapolitefsi administration. The ALCO poll of 11 July recorded that 60% of respondents view daily problems as worse than in 2019, and a June Metron Analysis survey indicated that 31% view institutional integrity and 21% view corruption as major concerns.

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has condemned the prime minister for exploiting a "voluntary" opposition to demand a "white check" from the public for continued policies, describing the government's agenda as "anti‑popular" and accusing it of prioritising fiscal rules over citizens' needs. The party argues that only the KKE stands as a consistent defender of workers' interests in this climate.

Both articles highlight a broader economic dissatisfaction, with a majority of Greeks reporting a decline in personal financial situations and Greece’s purchasing power ranking among the lowest in the European Union.
