TheNational Rally – Patriotic Radical Momentum of Victory[1] (Greek:Εθνική Συσπείρωση – Πατριωτική Ριζοσπαστική Ορμή Νίκης,romanized: Ethnikí Syspeírosi – Patriotikí Rizospastikí Ormí Níkis;Abbr.National Rally –PARON or justPARON) is a Greek political party established on 17 July 2024 by two independent Members of theHellenic Parliament who previously left theSpartans party. The party's president is the MP forHeraklion constituency,Michalis Gavgiotakis [el].
In theJune 2023 Greek parliamentary election, theSpartans entered parliament with 4.68% of the vote and elected 12 MPs, includingGiorgos Aspiotis [el] (forAchaea), andMichalis Gavgiotakis [el] (forHeraklion). A year later, on 25 June 2024, the two MPs left the party, continuing as independent MPs.[2]
On 17 July 2024, Gavgiotakis announced the creation of the party at a meeting inGazi Heraklion, where among those present were former members of theIndependent Greeks, theUnion of Centrists,Spartans, etc.[3] The new party defined itself as part of a "national and patriotic space," speaking of "a new social contract that will restore social mobility and social dignity to all Greeks."[4] A second independent MP Giorgos Aspiotis (forAchaea) was appointed vice-president of the party, and an administrative committee consisting of nine executives was also established. Subsequently, Gavgiotakis notified the presidium of theParliament by letter of the establishment of the party to which he and Aspiotis belonged.[3]
Both Gavgiotakis and Aspiotis voted in favor of thegovernment's 2025 budget.[5]
The National Rally – PARON does not have a parliamentary group, as it has fewer than 10 MPs, which is required to form a parliamentary group. However, 2 independent MPs belong to the party: Gavgiotakis and Aspiotis, both elected on aSpartans list inJune 2023 election.
