Active Citizens (Greek: Ενεργοί Πολίτες) is a left-wing political party in Greece. It was founded by the late Manolis Glezos, former United Democratic Left member of the Hellenic Parliament, in 2002 and joined the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) in 2004, where it has largely remained other than a brief stint with the Popular Unity party during the September 2015 legislative elections.[2][3][4][5] During the 2021 Cypriot legislative election, Active Minds joined forces with the Movement of United Cypriot Hunters party to create the Active Minds-Movement of United Cypriot Hunters party, which garnered a little over 3% of the vote but no parliamentary seats.[6][7]
