In the Democracy Index 2022, Greece rose from 34th to 25th place. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s latest report on the quality of democracy around the world, Greece climbed nine places in the scale of the so-called Democracy Index for 2022, recording a clear improvement and one of the best performances of Economist index.
Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias, who also served as health minister during the initial waves of the Covid-19 pandemic, posted on Twitter: “The rise is attributed by the recognised international organisation primarily to the success of the government’s policies in the management of the pandemic, the effective vaccination campaign and the spectacular recovery of tourism”.
Two pillars which, as many note, are inextricably linked given that tourism, a key pillar of the Greek economy, has recovered significantly, despite the fact that it could have been irreparably damaged if the pandemic had been mishandled.
