Flag of Greece Greece Christian Democratic Europhile Founded 1974

Néa Dimokratía (ND) is a center-right, conservative-liberal political party in Greece. As a dominant force within the center-right spectrum, it advocates for Greece's steadfast integration into Western alliances such as the EU and NATO, alongside a market-oriented economic policy and societal stability.

Values and Ideology
The foundation of the ND is built upon a synthesis of Christian-social values, classical liberalism, and a moderate patriotism. It champions the state as the guarantor of order and security, safeguarding individual liberties rather than stifling them through excessive regulation. Its philosophy emphasizes personal accountability and the protection of traditional institutions such as the family. The party positions itself as a pro-European bulwark against populist trends and views Greece as an integral, stabilizing component of the Western value system.

Political Priorities
The ND's agenda is consistently focused on economic modernization and enhancing competitiveness. Through tax cuts, privatizations, and the reduction of bureaucratic hurdles, the party aims to attract foreign investment and energize the labor market. Its policies primarily target entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and conservative voters in rural regions. In migration and security policy, the ND pursues a restrictive course, while simultaneously championing the digital transformation of the state to make the country more efficient and future-proof.

Role in the Political System
Within Greece's political landscape, the ND serves as the cornerstone of the conservative bloc, frequently acting as a counterweight to left-leaning coalitions. Its strategy focuses on institutional stability and adherence to fiscal discipline within the Eurozone. Its stance on the rule of law is characterized by a strong defense of the separation of powers, although critics often point to the concentration of power within the executive. Strategically, the party aims to embody the "sensible center," prioritizing pragmatism over ideological ventures.
