Popis: Early parliamentary elections were held in Greece on June 7, 2019, in which the right-wing conservative party «New democracy» won a landslide victory. A distinctive feature of the party-political system of Greece in the last four years was the fact that for the first time in the history of this country, the government was headed by the left-wing (we can say non-systemic) SYRIZA party, which won in January 2015. In those elections, SYRIZA went with the election program, the main point of which was the abolition of the austerity regime imposed on Greece by the EU countries. In nearly four years in power, SYRIZA has made some progress in the economic and social spheres, but these successes were not as significant as expected by the majority of the population. The article attempts to identify the causes of the loss of radical left SYRIZA support in society and determine whether it has a chance to eventually return to power.
