  • The Greek New Right and the Eve of Conservative Populism

    The Greek New Right and the Eve of Conservative Populism

    The Visio Journal ● Volume 4 ● 2019 The Greek New Right and the Eve of Conservative Populism By Athanasios Grammenos* The economic crisis in the Eurozone and its dire consequences for Greece terminated the post-1974 political consensus, which was based on a pro-European and democratic concord. The collapse of the social-democratic Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) in 2012 allowed space for the radical Left to become the new pole of the political system. To this advancement, the conservatives, being the other pole, responded with a prompt enlargement attempt to the populist right-wing, engulfing several elements of the New Right. This new political order had had evident effects on the party’s social and economic agenda, escalating the political debate at the expense of established liberal principles. While in opposition (2015-2019), New Democracy (ND), member of the European Peo- ple’s Party (EPP) in the European Parliament, voted against a series of liberal bills (gender issues, separation of Church and State, the Macedonian issue, etc.) giving out positions with authoritarian and populist essence. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the rise of the New Right in Greece (2012-2019) in both rhetoric and practice, and its consequences for law institutions, human rights and foreign affairs. It is argued that ND, currently holding office, has been occupied by deeply conservative elements as a response to the rise of the radical Left, adopting occasionally ultra-conservative positions in a wide range of social issues. Although the case of Greece is unlike to those in other European countries, nevertheless, to the extent to which the preservation of traditional hierarchies come into question, the political platform of the Greek New Right, which has embedded authoritarian attitudes cultivating an anti-liberal sub-culture to the party’s voters, is in accordance with several European conservative movements like in Hungary, Austria or Czechia.

The initiative came in addition to the Foundation’s regular and continuing grant-making efforts in Greece and around the world. In announcing the new initiative, the Foundation recognized at the same time that an impactful change to the current youth employment landscape cannot be attained through the commitment of funds only, however significant they may be. The creation of new opportunities and consequently the creation of jobs require the radical and innovative rethinking of the ways we approach and address the issue, as well as the collaboration and convergence of different sectors (public, private, philanthropic). To that end, the Foundation in collaboration with a number of partners on both sides of the Atlantic, with the Peterson Institute for International Economics in a leading role, has organized this conference in New York, which brings together prominent economists, foundations, policy makers, NGOs, labor leaders and businesspeople for action oriented collaboration.
