A more extreme example of [[File:Rpop.png]] right-wing populism in [[File:Cball-Greece.png]] Greece is the [[File:LEPEN.png]] '''Popular Greek Patriotic Union''', more famously known as '''LEPEN'''. The PGPU's ideology is a combination of [[File:Ultranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism]], [[File:Irridentism.png]] [[Irredentism]], and [[File:Orth.png]] [[Orthodox Theocracy]]. The PGPU was founded in 2015 by [[File:LEPEN.png]] [[Metaxism|Christos Rigas]]. Rigas was a former member of the [[File:Golden_Dawn.png]] [[Ultranationalism|Golden Dawn]] party, but he left the party after internal conflict, and founded the PGPU as a more moderate alternative to the GD. 

The PGPU joined the [[File:APF.png]] [[Fascism|Alliance For Peace and Freedom]] coalition in 2018. The coalition contains neo-fascist parties such as the [[File:Kotleba.png]] [[Clerical Fascism|Peoples Party Our Slovakia,]] [[File:3P.png]] [[Alt-Right|NATION]], and [[File:NewRight(Romania).png]] [[Legionarism|Noua Drepta]]. In December 2020, the PGPU created a electoral coalition with the [[File:Spartans.png]] [[Metaxism|Spartans]] party. The PGPU also collaborated with the [[File:NPCELASYN.png]] [[Metaxism|National Popular Consciousness]].


A more recent example of a right-wing populist party in Greece is the [[File:VoiceofReason.png]] '''Voice Of Reason''' party. Greek lawyer [[File:AfroditiLatinopoulou.png]] '''Afroditi Latinopoulou''' founded the VR as a split off from the [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|Patriotic Force for Change]] party in March 2023, with a intention to participate in May's elections, but was barred from participating due to a name dispute.

The party participated in the next months snap election, but didn't gain any seats. 1 year later, Latinopoulou herself would just barely win a seat in the EU elections in June 2024. The party would later join the [[File:PfE.png]] [[National Conservatism|Patriots For Europe]] coalition.


The most famous [[File:Rpop.png]] right-wing populist party in Greece is the [[File:GSEL.png]] '''Greek Solution''' political party. Greek politican [[File:GSEL.png]] [[Reactionary Liberalism|Kyriakos Velopoulos]] founded the party in 2016 after he left the [[File:RelNat.png]] [[Religious Nationalism|Popular Orthodox Rally]] party.

The party won one seat in the 2019 European elections, and won 10 seats in the Greek legislative election that followed with 3.7% of the vote. The party would gain another seat in the June 2023 snap election.

In the 2024 European elections, the party won 2 more European MEPs. This was a result of most supporters of the [[File:Spartans.png]] Spartans party voting for the GS following the formers banning.
