Unitary Front

Unitary Front (Greek: Ενωτικό Μέτωπο) was a short-lived center-left party in Greece.

The party split in 2011 from the governing Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), on the grounds that it didn't agree with prime minister George Papandreou's fiscal austerity course imposed by the Memorandum of the Troika.

The party was established under the initial name Unitary Movement (Ενωτική Κίνηση) in November 2011 by former PASOK MP Panagiotis Kouroumplis, political theory professor Nikos Kotzias, the lawyer and Regional Director of Attica Alexis Mitropoulos.

In May 2012, the party contested the legislative election in a joint "SYRIZA-EKM" list together with the Coalition of the Radical Left, with "EKM" representing Unitary Social Front (Ενωτικό Κοινωνικό Μέτωπο), reminding of both the Unitary Movement and the Social Agreement (KOISY) party Syriza at that time hoped would join as well.

Ahead of the repeated June 2012 election, the Unitary Movement participated in the swift registration of Syriza-EKM as a unitary party to accommodate for the Greek electoral system, giving the strongest party a majority bonus, provided it is a unitary party and not a mere electoral list.
