Annual Report 2023_People of Greece by qed

20 23

Highlights of 2023 through the eyes of Greek citizens and qed's People of Greece research tool, with over 2,000 questionnaires every month (25,000+ questionnaires every year) on social, business, consumer, media, institutional and political issues.

2023

In 2023, we navigated through a tumultuous year

marked by a spectrum of challenges, including wildfires, floods, the Tempi accident, escalating inflation, the persisting conflict in Ukraine and the ongoing tensions in the Israel-Palestine region.

Furthermore, it was an election year, with both national and local elections adding another layer of complexity to the landscape.

As anticipated, the subjective well-being index has experienced a decline compared to the previous year, 2022.

People of Greece mostly worry about their standard of living, including the rising cost of energy and many basic goods, as well as the possible impact of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the country.

In conclusion, 2023 felt like a year of limited expectations, without much optimism for prosperity and growth.

The pivotal question persists: how can the country and its people chart a course towards aspiring for a better Greece?

Society

One persistent social concern that occupied our attention in the past year and is expected to remain a focal point in the future is the demographic issue and its implications for the country's

productivity and insurance models.

Among Greek people’s proposed remedies are increasing the incentives for young couples to have children, integrating more young people in the country’s workforce, as well as setting up more daycare centers and kindergartens.

Inclusion of more women and immigrants in the country’s workforce do not appear to be popular proposals. A national policy to integrate new demographic populations into the country's workforce seems necessary.

56% of Greeks advocate for religious marriage as the sole option regarding the cohabitation of couples, while 31% considering alternative methods for legalizing cohabitation and 12% do not express a clear stance on the matter..

Consequently, additional public debate on the issue is needed to illuminate all potential avenues and options for formalizing cohabitation.

A significant portion of Greek people holds a negative attitude towards the Roma community, prompting reflections on the openness of Greek society and its readiness to embrace diversity.

The issue of juvenile violence, on the other hand, seems to be of particular concern to people of Greece, with a noteworthy one in four Greeks reporting having witnessed incidents involving juvenile violence and 17% having been subjected to violence by minors.

Finally, studying gender bias, 44% of Greeks have at least one gender prejudice, with the percentage being even higher among young people (gen-z).

The common assumption that young people are less prejudiced against gender discrimination is thus challenged, with the "social justice" and "cancel culture" generations expressing gender bias more often than their elders.

There seems to be an urgent need for immediate and thorough educational intervention on issues of gender stereotypes and prejudices.

Which of the following do Greeks believe that will help solve the demographic problem?

To provide financial motives to couples to have children

82%

To increase the youth's participation in the country's productive population

47%

To create more kindergartens, along with the ability to expand the hours of operation

36%

To invite immigrants to enhance the country's productive population

Business and Consumption

According to the Business Sector Trust Index, the technology-related industry garners the highest level of trust

among the public. Following closely are the Supermarkets and Bakeries/Dessert Industries.

At the lower end of the trust index are TV Stations, Banks, Insurance Companies, and Energy Providers within the private sector.

Consumers argue that there are three key factors that build trust in a business.

Fair prices, product/service quality and customer focus.

These are followed by good employers, nativeness of the company and its social sensitivity.

The Black Friday sales period saw improved performance this year compared to 2022, as perceived by Greeks.

Half of the consumers participated in the shopping spree for discounted items, and the discounts offered this year are viewed as better than those of the previous year.

Media

Social media has become an integral part of the lives of the majority of Greeks, with distinct usage patterns across different age groups. Facebook is predominantly embraced by the older generations, while Millennials lean towards LinkedIn. Zoomers, on the other hand, are drawn to platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Users perceive these platforms as integral components of their lives, attributing to them various functions such as raising awareness about social issues, providing information, and contributing to decisionmaking pertaining political issues.

Simultaneously, users acknowledge the platforms' role in spreading disinformation. This observation likely suggests the necessity for a more substantial presence of "valid information sources" within social media, rather than completely disengaging from these platforms. This

approach aims to enhance the prevalence of accurate and reliable information.

When surveying citizens about their primary information sources, agerelated differences reveal a common triad: television, social media, and news sites.

The coexistence of these three channels is well-established, but further clarification is required to understand the distinct roles and missions of each, considering their simultaneous presence with the other two.

Pertaining television consumption, when considering the hours Greeks spend watching TV, it's reported that 60% corresponds to real-time viewing during the broadcast, while 40% is attributed to non-real-time viewing.

Additionally, the breakdown reveals that 70% of this television viewership occurs on larger screens, such as big screen TVs, while the remaining 30% is distributed across smaller screens like phones, tablets, and laptops.

The results shown above provide a clear indication for the need of revisiting the current model of measuring television viewing.

Institutions

People of Greece are consistently worried regarding the erosion of institutional credibility.

This sentiment is evident in their advocacy for the removal of parliamentary immunity for all Members of Parliament, as

well as their strict stance towards individuals such as Eva Kaili, Alexis Georgoulis, and Pavlos Polakis.

Similarly, their cynical outlook extends to the inquiry committee on the Tempi train crash, with the belief that neither the root causes nor the responsible parties will be unveiled.

Perhaps their call to SYRIZA intra-party dissidents to be patient and wait for the party's convention (institutional process) points in the same direction.

The responsibility for upholding the credibility of institutions lies predominantly with political leadership. However, the collective responsibility of safeguarding it pertains to each one of us.

It is our expectation that the public's intolerance and unwavering expectations will manifest in the behaviors and choices of individuals in their daily lives.

The People of Greece platform promises to include a more indepth exploration of the issue for 2024.

Ethics Committee of the Parliament has advised in favor of removing the immunity for the MPs of the party: Spartiates What do Greeks think the Parliament should decide?

Elections National

As early as February, it became apparent that the outcome of the May elections would depend on factors such as political stability and economic recovery.

Throughout both the May and June elections, a prevailing sense of anxiety and fear characterized the atmosphere.

In essence, voters exhibited a cautious approach, casting their ballots with a clear inclination towards stability.

The Tempi accident significantly impacted Greek voters' perception of the government's credibility. However, despite this, the opposition struggled to present itself as a viable alternative.

Citizens, faced with three choices, considered a stable government (NEA DEMOCRATIA), a potent opposition (SYRIZA or PASOK), or a diverse opposition comprising smaller parties.

Among the small parties, the Plefsi Eleftherias party drew particular interest within this dynamic.

The pre-election debate appeared to have notably favored Kyriakos Velopoulos while diminishing the standing of Yanis

Varoufakis.

Other political leaders, on the other hand, experienced neither significant gains nor notable losses during the debate.

Ultimately, the electoral dilemma articulated by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, posing the choice between “a stable government and one led by SYRIZA/PASOK/MERA25”, resonated with Greek voters.

What is considered as the greatest risk regarding the results of the next election?

The potential of an unstable government

Elections Local Government

During the local elections, the prevailing sentiment among voters was boredom.

It is quite concerning for democracy when the institution of local government fails to garner acceptance and active participation.

Fifty percent of Greeks express dissatisfaction with the quality of the candidate lists available to them, and the percentage of individuals who consider themselves "very informed" about the candidates is notably low.

In the context of municipal elections, voters emphasize that the primary selection criterion is that “the candidate should be young and enthusiastic about the work”. On the other hand, for regional elections, the key factor is “the candidate's political program”.

The low voter interest and elevated abstention rate played a significant role, among other factors, in reshaping the composition of the electorate between the first and second elections. This shift ultimately resulted in the ousting of Bakoyannis and the triumph of Doukas in the municipality of Athens.

Additional factors contributing to his defeat include the electorate's perception that he did not align with the criterion of being young and eager to work, which was a primary consideration.

Furthermore, the necessity to establish a robust opposition, unmet at the national level, sought an outlet at the municipal level,

potentially influencing the election outcome.

Elections European Parliament

Greek citizens express optimism regarding the prospect of collaboration among center-left candidates in the European elections.

However, there is a prevailing concern that, in practice, this possibility may not materialize as anticipated.

In addition, there is a positive sentiment among Greek citizens regarding the formation of a party with a left-wing and ecological agenda. This underscores the heightened interest of citizens in ecological matters, an expected sentiment given our firsthand experience with the impacts of the climate crisis..

Several lingering questions include: -How effectively is the ecological agenda incorporated into the platforms of existing parties?

-Does the ecological agenda alone justify the establishment of a new political party?

-Is the fusion of a left-wing and an ecological agenda a necessity, or can there be discussions about the viability of a right-wing party embracing ecological priorities?

Government

Perceptions of positive aspects of the New Democracy government:

• The “market pass” monthly allowance • Implementation of a lasting price reduction on 100 supermarket products • Extension of the border fence in Evros • Assertive efforts to reclaim the marbles from the British government and adept crisis management with the English Prime Minister

• Introduction of postal voting Perceptions of negative aspects of the New Democracy government: • The fact that the Transport Minister stood as a candidate for Parliament after the accident in Tempi • The Prime Minister's trip to Israel • The abstention at the UN General Assembly regarding a possible ceasefire at Gaza Noteworthy and significant government promises that cannot be overlooked include: • Commitment to raise the average wage to 1500 euros and the minimum wage to 950 euros • Pledges for the restructuring of EKAB • A commitment to complete the digitization of the state • Initiatives for the modernization of the state pension system • Efforts towards the modernization and decentralization of the social security system The government has received acclaim for its successes in the realms of culture, foreign policy, and digital governance.

Conversely, the most critical assessment has been directed towards the health sector.

SYRIZA

Following the significant electoral setback, the resignation of Alexis Tsipras was met with approval from Greek society.

Anticipation for Efis Achtsioglou's victory in the party’s internal elections had been prevalent.

The “St. Kasselakis phenomenon” gained widespread recognition after the conclusion of the first round of the internal party contest and the announcement of its results.

The actions taken by St. Kasselakis after his electoral triumph likely do not resonate well with the Greek public, and there is likely a lack of consensus among the citizens regarding his approach.

Citizens hold the view that those who departed from SYRIZA made a mistake and should have waited for the party congress, indicating a sense of respect for institutional procedures.

Regarding NEA ARISTERA, while the initial public impression suggested it might replace SYRIZA in the upcoming elections, this optimistic reaction does not appear to be substantiated in direct voting intention queries, where NEA ARISTERA gathers a percentage of approximately 3%.

Should the leader of the opposition resign due to the negative election results?
