How does the debate surrounding same-sex marriage in Greece reflect broader challenges faced by the Left in shaping public discourse and policy?

The article highlights how the Greek Left's approach to social issues hinders its ability to influence policy. By focusing on semantics rather than the bigger picture, the Left fails to connect with a broader public. This is exemplified by the debate surrounding same-sex marriage where arguments of equal rights are countered by framing the issue as a political manoeuvre, demonstrating the disconnect between the Left's messaging and public perception.

How does the New Left's critique of the government's economic policies connect to broader concerns about social welfare and income inequality in Greece?

Haritsis criticized the budget's lack of growth, labeling it "memorandum-like" despite Greece being outside any bailout program. He noted that real GDP growth averaged nearly 2% under New Democracy, despite substantial EU funds, similar to 2018 levels. He questioned the lack of public debt reduction despite falling debt-to-GDP ratios, attributing this to high inflation. This suggests a deeper economic structural issue beyond government policy.
