Political party in Greece
National Unionist Party (Greek : Εθνικόν Ενωτικόν Κόμμα (ΕΕΚ) , EEK ) was a centre-right political party in Greece , founded in 1935 by Panagiotis Kanellopoulos and other Venizelist politicians.
History
This party generally had democratic and progressive tendencies and was represented in the Greek Parliament in the post-war period, as emerged during the elections of 1946, as well as in the elections of 1950, with a small group of MPs.
In December 1950, the E.E.K. merged with a group of MPs led by Stefanos Stefanopoulos , who had split from the People's Party , creating the People's Unionist Party , which later joined the Greek Rally after a short period of time.
The party's publication was the newspaper "Elliniki Foni " (Greek Voice), where well-known academics and friends of Kanellopoulos, such as Konstantinos Despotopoulos , Phaidon Vegleris , and Ioannis Theodorakopoulos , later contributed as writers.
