Greek government uses propaganda to maintain prime minister's popularity

The Greek government is accused of using propaganda to deflect from its problems and blame the opposition. This strategy, referred to as "blue propaganda," aims to manage scandals and tragedies by shifting blame. The article claims this tactic, which includes using documentaries about the 2015-2019 period, has been effective in maintaining Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis's popularity for seven years. The opposition is criticized for failing to counter this narrative effectively. The government allegedly manipulates public opinion through various means, including downplaying scandals like the Tempi train crash and the OPEKEPE case, and shifting public discourse to less critical topics.
