Hellenic Front
The Hellenic Front is a Greek political party with a strongly nationalist platform, founded in 1994. Its declared raison d'ętre is to raise national conscience and inspire freedom, creativity, and development by reversing what it sees as dependence on foreign economies and ideas. It advocates the creation of a “National Opposition Front” to build an effective and credible alternative to the current two-party system.
Makis Voridis, a lawyer, is President of the Front.
In local elections held in 1998, Voridis stood as a candidate for Mayor of Athens, receiving 0.58 percent of the vote. The party carried 0.12 percent of the vote in the European elections of 1999; 0.18 percent of the vote in the parliamentary election of 2000; and an average of 1.4 percent in local elections in 2002 (0.9 percent in Athens, 1.2 percent in Piraeus, 1.2 percent in Thessaloníki, 4.5 percent in Karditsa, and 2.2 percent in East Attica ). At the parliamentary election in 2004, the Hellenic Front received 0.09 percent of the vote.
