Focus Bari, representing in Greece the international network IRIS (International Research Institutes), participated in an original survey on "Aspirations - Dreams - Expectations" designed and implemented on the initiative of the network in 17 countries at the beginning of 2024.

According to the very interesting findings :
- Only one in ten Greeks say they are happy living the life they would like to live, and the rest feel a great distance between reality and dream!
- The proportion of "happy" citizens varies from country to country, without this necessarily being linked to their living/economic level!
- Nevertheless, the common aspiration of the peoples of all countries is a better everyday life and a higher standard of living.
- As a priority of their governments, all peoples consider that citizen care should be at the first level compared to international influence/position.
- Seven out of ten Greeks feel that as a people we have no common dream, and a strong desire is to feel "proud of their country again"!
- Six out of ten Greeks would like, if they could, to live in another country, preferably Switzerland, the USA, Italy and others.
