SYRIZA voters deserting ahead of party congress
As SYRIZA, Greece’s main opposition party, grapples with escalating internal turmoil ahead of its congress, it is inadvertently becoming a “donor” of voters to center-left rivals.
Recent polling from Metron Analysis places support for leftist SYRIZA at just 8.7%, trailing behind New Democracy (29.1%) and PASOK (19.8%).
The rise of PASOK, approaching 20%, signals substantial voter dissatisfaction with SYRIZA, with many choosing alternative political options over remaining neutral. Former party leader Stefanos Kasselakis has alleged that his leadership was under “supervision,” intensifying tensions as rival factions compete for control.
The coming week is pivotal, as the party’s executive political secretariat will finalize details for next month’s congress, amid widespread calls for democratic renewal within the party.
