The River (Greece)

The River (Greek: Το Ποτάμι, romanized: To Potami, IPA: [to poˈtami]) was a centrist[6][7] and social-liberal[3][4] political party in Greece.

On 27 May 2014, the two incoming MEPs announced their decision to sit with the S&D group in the European Parliament, whose intake included two MEPs from the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK),[9][12] citing the group's commitment to "tackling the recession and unemployment in Greece and the South in general",[13] while ruling out joining the Party of European Socialists.

[14] On 24 December 2014, the newly founded party Reformers for Democracy and Development of former Democratic Left (DIMAR) MP Spyros Lykoudis announced an alliance with The River.

[27] On 7 February 2017, Larissa MP Konstantinos Bargiotas resigned from the party, indicating that he would join the Democratic Alignment parliamentary group.

[31][32] On the first stage open primary election on 12 November 2017, Theodorakis came in fourth place with 9.8% of the vote, failing to reach the second round.

[37] On 1 July 2018, The River exited from KINAL due to issues including disagreements between Theodorakis and Gennimata over the Macedonia naming dispute.
