History

Background In the June 2023 Greek parliamentary election, the Spartans entered parliament with 4.68% of the vote and elected 12 MPs, including (for Achaea), and (for Heraklion). A year later, on 25 June 2024, the two MPs left the party, continuing as independent MPs.

Establishment On 17 July 2024, Gavgiotakis announced the creation of the party at a meeting in Gazi Heraklion, where among those present were former members of the Independent Greeks, the Union of Centrists, Spartans, etc. 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." A second independent MP Giorgos Aspiotis (for Achaea) was appointed vice-president of the party, and an administrative committee consisting of nine executives was also established. Subsequently, Gavgiotakis notified the presidium of the Parliament by letter of the establishment of the party to which he and Aspiotis belonged.

Both Gavgiotakis and Aspiotis voted in favor of the government's 2025 budget.

Affiliated Members of Parliament 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 a Spartans list in June 2023 election.
