The New Leader of the Greek Right-Wing

Fall of Golden Dawn


Golden Dawn had been the leading of the Greek Far-Right since 2012. On average they have been getting around 6-7%, excluding 2019 when they achieved a low 2% of the national vote.

In 2020 6 party leaders were convicted and the party was labeled a criminal organization for its violent actions towards opposition and minorities. This created large amounts of protest since its supporters followed the party radically.



In 2023, Golden Dawn has not run in the election, however, a remanent called "Greeks" is expected to get a round 2.6% of the according to recent polls.

Greek Solution - Leading the Greek Right-Wing

Greek Solution was founded by MP Kyriakos Velopoulos in 2016. The party is a right-wing populist and ultranationalist. The party focuses on preserving Greek Orthodoxy and culture. The party is against illegal immigration and the LGBTQ+ movement.


In terms of foreign policy the party criticizes New Democracy for serving US interest. Kyriakos Velopoulos has vowed to put Greek interest first and align with whoever will move Greece forward, not exclusively East or West.


Kyriakos Velopoulos is from Macedonia and heavily against the Prespa Agreement giving North Macedonia the name "Macedonia." Many Greeks agree with him that this agreement "sold" Greek history and culture.

Greek Solution has written a 400 page plan on how they plan to improve and run the Hellenic Republic.
