The National Popular Consciousness (ELASYN; Greek: Εθνική Λαϊκή Συνείδηση – ΕΛΑΣΥΝ) is a Greek nationalist[1] political party, which was founded in 2019. The founder and president of the party is MEP Giannis Lagos.
Foundation[]
The National Popular Consciousness was founded by the independent[7] MEP, from the Golden Dawn, Giannis Lagos.[8] On 9 November 2019, the Founding Conference of the party took place, which was attended by former MPs Panagiotis Iliopoulos, and as well as other executives who had left the Golden Dawn.[9] The party has also received support by the controversial far-right author Konstantinos Plevris.[9] The Founding Declaration of the party was presented at the Conference and electoral procedures were held, through which Giannis Lagos was elected president and the Coordinating Council.
History[]
In December of 2020, the formation of a coalition was announced by ELASYN, The Popular Hellenic Patriotic Union (LEPEN), the "Spartans" party, the United Front of Greek Ideology of Compatriots (EMEIS) and the Front Line, with the prospect of a joint electoral descent.[10] In February of 2021, the coalition announced the collaboration of the formation with the retired captain and chief of the Popular Citizens Movement (LAKIP) Andreas Petropoulos.
