The opinion of Greek men and women on the future of the EU, international leaders and the countries they consider Greece’s allies is reflected in the second part of the survey “What do Greeks think 2024” by diaNEOSis presented by “To Vima”. The survey, which is carried out every two years, was undertaken this year by Metron Analysis between January 23 and February 6.
diaNEOSis research focuses on the way in which Greek men and women perceive Greece’s position in the world, but it starts with how they perceive their personal situation, where negative feelings clearly prevail over positive ones.
Insecurity and frustration occupy the first places (with 49.9% and 44.3% respectively), followed by feelings of anger (29.7%) and shame (16.8%). Of the positive emotions, only optimism manages to rank relatively high, in fourth place (21.7%). The only difference at hand, compared to previous DIANOSIS surveys, is that optimism was in second place in 2019 at 30%.
The collective pessimism is also reflected in the assessment of democracy in Greece, where this year marks 50 years since the post-colonial transition: less than 1 in 3 (27.4%) consider our democracy “strong”, while 35% consider it “weak”.

The Aftermath of Hamas Ceasefire Announcement
On the evening of May 6th, when Hamas declared a ceasefire with Israel, the atmosphere in Rafah transformed into one of jubilation. The streets of Gaza’s southernmost city were filled with thousands of people celebrating, hopeful for an end to the prolonged seven-month war that had brought devastation to the Palestinian enclave.
However, the initial joy was short-lived. Israeli authorities raised concerns about the terms of the ceasefire, stating that it differed from the previous agreement reached a month ago. Despite foreign diplomats downplaying the differences as minor, the following morning saw Israeli tanks moving along the Philadelphi corridor, a crucial strip of land along the border with Egypt, where they took control of the Rafah crossing, a vital entry point for humanitarian aid during the conflict.
