The anniversary of the founding of New Democracy: 50 years since the establishment of the party
On October 4, 1974, Konstantinos Karamanlis founded New Democracy, a political movement that played a decisive role in the modern history of Greece. The founding of the party took place during the Metapolitefsi, a period full of challenges for the country.
Konstantinos Karamanlis' main goal was to create a new political force that could unite citizens and overcome the old political divisions of the past. New Democracy was presented as a party that would lead Greece toward democratic normalcy and a European path.
The founding of the party was a significant milestone for the country's political system. From then until today, New Democracy has played a leading role in the Greek political scene, participating in many governments and shaping developments in the economy and society.
Today, the anniversary of the party's founding is an opportunity to look back at the party's historical journey. Political analysts and historians are examining the impact that New Democracy has had on the shaping of modern Greek democracy over the last five decades.
