Grinberg Returns: Predicts 30% for ND Amid Political Remodeling

Renowned pollster Stan Grinberg recently visited Athens to consult with Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his inner circle. After analyzing focus group data, he confirmed existing polling trends in Greece. Notably, Grinberg projected a slightly more optimistic 30% vote share for New Democracy (ND), compared to the 27-28% indicated by other polls. However, this figure falls short of the 32.5% achieved in the European elections. The strategist emphasized that Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ image of governance has suffered since the Tempi tragedy, necessitating an urgent strategic shift. Despite challenges, Grinberg believes the situation is reversible if Mitsotakis reconnects with voters through meaningful reforms and effective communication. Meanwhile, potential cabinet reshuffles are rumored, with figures like Sophia Zacharaki and Thanasis Pleuris being considered for key roles. Within ND, candidates like Nikos Romanos carefully navigate public appearances ahead of upcoming elections. On the far-right spectrum, dissent continues as MP Nicos Papadopoulos made headlines for vandalizing artworks at the National Gallery, sparking debate over artistic freedom versus religious respect.
