The party of Maria Karystianou<\/b>, Hope for Democracy<\/b>, is showing the first signs of fatigue, at least in the poll numbers.<\/p>\n
The latest polls show that the party of Maria Karystianou<\/b> has begun to show signs of decline. For example, in the Alco poll, Hope for Democracy<\/b> has fallen to fourth place with a single-digit percentage, down 1.5% in less than a month.<\/p>\n
But the Interview poll for Thessaloniki also did not sit well with the campaign staff of Maria Karystianou<\/b>: Hope for Democracy <\/b>is the fourth-place party with a barely single-digit percentage, in a region where the party is supposed to have the highest penetration in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There are also regions, such as Attica\u2014the country\u2019s largest region\u2014where Hope for Democracy<\/b> is recording low single-digit percentages. This is a cause for concern for Maria Karystianou<\/b>, who has already begun campaigning.<\/p>\nThe disappointing turnout at rallies <\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
The qualitative data from the Alco poll also raised concerns, as only 2 out of 10 citizens view Karystianou<\/b>\u2019s initiative positively; only 10% see it as an alternative governing force, 42% view it exclusively as a protest party, while 60% express a negative opinion.<\/p>\n
However, efforts to establish party chapters throughout Greece are proceeding as planned, though without the expected enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
For example, on Samothrace, the party\u2019s first event\u2014at which the party\u2019s representative for the Evros prefecture, Daphne Chalkia-Stavraki<\/b>, drew a crowd of just… 6 people. Including herself, as reported by local media.<\/p>\n
And in Elis, where the party held its first meeting with supporters, featuring Leonidas Chrysanthopoulos<\/b> as the keynote speaker, no more than 20 people showed up. Of course, Hope for Democracy<\/b> viewed this as an initial get-together and believes it will draw larger crowds in the future.<\/p>\n
In any case, Hope for Democracy<\/b> does not yet have a specific platform, Maria Karystianou<\/b> is canceling interviews, while only 3\u20134 people appear in the media as party representatives, as she has not yet presented that much-talked-about committee of wise men or, more generally, party officials who can prove that it is not a one-woman protest party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
