Abstract
This article attempts an evaluation of the “law and order’’ policies of the conserv- ative New Democracy government in Greece between 2019-2023 and compiles the views expressed by other forces across the political spectrum vis-à-vis those policies in the run-up to the double parliamentary elections of May and June 2023 respectively. Using open-source data drawn from party manifestos and other pub- lic statements of the parties that participated in the 2019-2023 parliament, the analysis assesses the re-elected New Democracy government’s potential to further its policies in the new parliamentary term as well as the capacity of the opposition to mount a credible and viable resistance to the hardening and proliferation of aggressive policing and punitive policies advocated by the government.
