According to a recent Pulse survey conducted for SKAI, Greek citizens consider the OPEKEPE scandal serious. When asked how important the OPEKEPE issue is, 57% of respondents said very important, 19% said quite important, 10% moderately important, 3% slightly important, and 2% not important at all.
When questioned about who the scandal mainly concerns, responses were divided as follows: 33% believe it affects the current government, 33% think it involves all parties that have governed, and 23% say it concerns the entire political system. The remaining 11% either didn’t know or chose not to answer.
The main emotions influencing voter decisions are also highlighted in the poll. Some 48% of respondents said they will vote based on hope for the future (prospective voting), 23% will be driven by anxiety or the need for stability, 12% by anger (as a form of punishment), and 7% by satisfaction with past actions. Meanwhile, 2% stated they won’t vote, and 8% did not respond.
In terms of voting intentions, the data shows minimal shifts. New Democracy (ND) remains in first place but with support below 30%. PASOK holds second place, followed by Plefsi Eleftherias (Freedom Front) in third. Other parties include Elliniki Lisi and KKE, while SYRIZA ranks sixth with 6.5%. In terms of vote estimation, ND leads by 15 points over PASOK, with Plefsi Eleftherias maintaining third place.
The poll also indicates that nine parties would enter parliament if elections were held tomorrow, with two more fighting for parliamentary representation.
Regarding foreign policy concerns, 57% of respondents said they are increasingly worried—or just as worried—as before about Greek-Turkish relations, compared to 23% who expressed less concern. On Middle East tensions, 75% of respondents showed concern, while only 23% did not.
Finally, when asked whether they agree with the government’s decision to boost defense and military procurement, 60% responded positively, while 40% disagreed.
