National Popular Consciousness

The National Popular Consciousness (ELASYN; Greek: Εθνική Λαϊκή Συνείδηση – ΕΛΑΣΥΝ) was a far-right political party founded by former members of Golden Dawn in 2019 in Greece.

The founder and president of the party was MEP Giannis Lagos, who has been sentenced to 13 years in jail for his leadership and orchestration of Golden Dawn's violent activities.

[13] On 9 November 2019, the Founding Conference of the party took place, which was attended by former MPs Panagiotis Iliopoulos, Giorgos Germenis and Sotiria Vlachou as well as other executives who had left the Golden Dawn.

[14] The Founding Declaration of the party was presented at the Conference and electoral procedures were held, through which Giannis Lagos was elected president and the Coordinating Council.

[18] On February 8, 2023, an amendment was nominated by the Plenary of the Hellenic Parliament, which puts a brake on the descent in the 2023 elections to parties whose leaders or founders have been convicted of criminal acts like ELASYN and others.
