Survey finds shifting perceptions of global influence
ATHENS
Greeks view Russia as the foreign country most aligned with Greece’s national interests, according to a survey released on Monday.
According to the findings, published by the online edition of To Vima, 21.3% of respondents identified Russia as Greece’s closest ally, followed by the US (19%) and Israel (17.2%).
Notably, support for Russia spanned voters across the political-ideological spectrum, whereas Western countries were favored primarily by those closer to the political center.
The survey also highlighted a shifting perception of global power dynamics, with an increasing number of Greeks seeing the US as a declining superpower, struggling to compete with China in the coming years.
More than 52% of respondents predicted that China would be the world’s dominant power by 2050.
Meanwhile, public opinion on the future of the EU remains divided, with 42.8% supporting the dissolution of the union, while 40.7% favor further European integration.
