Economic gain, social strain and political pain - Greece’s road to elections
In this episode of The Agora, we unpack the latest findings from the Q2 2026 ProMacro_Scope - one of the most detailed quarterly portraits of Greek public opinion available.
Produced in partnership by MacroPolis and Prorata, the publication combines exclusive polling with proprietary socioeconomic indicators to track how Greeks are experiencing this moment of macro stability, social pressure and political fragmentation.
MacroPolis co-founder and The Agora host Nick Malkoutzis speaks with Prorata’s research director Angelos Seriatos about what the data reveals: a persistent cost‑of‑living strain, cautious foreign policy instincts, and entrenched distrust in institutions – and how this is affecting support for Greece’s political parties as the next general elections appear on the horizon.
The trends picked up by the latest polling map a Greece entering a volatile pre‑election period - resilient on paper, but with voters who feel squeezed and sceptical of the country’s political and civil‑ society structures.
