‘Bad news’ for PASOK emerges from recent polls: the party slips to third place — a scenario some internal figures even warned could worsen to fourth. Beyond ranking, deeper concerns arise — 60.3% of PASOK voters express dissatisfaction with the party’s opposition and overall political presence, while 29.6% say they may not vote for it in the upcoming elections. Ahead of its upcoming congress, only 60.6% believe it will boost electoral performance; 35.4% disagree. Notably, 29.7% consider post-election cooperation with New Democracy possible — though 60.3% support a congress decision explicitly ruling it out. Meanwhile, 68.9% see dialogue among center-left forces as positive, 70.3% deem convergence realistic, and 62.2% believe no current center-left party can credibly challenge ND and Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Alarmingly, Karystianou’s nascent party draws 10% potential support from PASOK voters; Tsipras’s new force attracts 8.9% — despite his historically low appeal among PASOK’s base. Internal divisions intensify over strategy: while Nina Kasimati’s return as MP appears decided, Haris Doukas reportedly demands her resignation from the seat.
