09 Nov People of Greece – Weekly snapshot 26/10-1/11
The People of Greece platform surveyed Greek men and women on:
- cases of fraud in the restaurant industry,
- the train accident in Spain,
- the Greece–Cyprus power interconnection project,
- elections in other countries, such as Serbia, Israel, and Brazil,
- and the U.S. midterm elections.
What did the survey reveal?
News Index
Fraud cases in the restaurant industry and a train accident in Spain dominate the headlines – Little interest in the issue of cable laying.
Fraud Cases in the Food Service Industry
Weak controls, unequal treatment, and tolerance of misconduct.
Train Accident in Spain
The Tembi Parallels – Government Responsibility for the Accident in Spain.
Greece-Cyprus Power Interconnection
The younger generation is more positive about Turkey being informed about the laying of the cable.
Elections in Other Countries
Corruption in Serbia, a deadlock in Israel—Greeks’ views on elections in other countries.
U.S. Midterm Elections
Greeks overwhelmingly support the Democrats, but have modest expectations for a change in Trump’s policies.
Walk the thought – what new questions do our findings raise?
- Does the victory of the “Student List” in Serbia reflect a broader European trend of political dissent through the fight against corruption, or is it a peculiarity of the Serbian case?
- Why do Greeks appear to clearly prefer Democrats over Republicans, regardless of their political affiliation?
- Is tax evasion primarily the result of economic necessity, an opportunity arising from inadequate controls, or a deeper social perception that the rules do not apply equally to everyone?
