The Hellenic Front (Greek: Ελληνικό Μέτωπο) was a Greek political party with an ultranationalist platform, founded in 1994.[1] Its declared raison d'être was to raise national conscience and inspire freedom, creativity, and development by reversing what it sees as dependence on foreign economies and ideas. It advocated creation of a “National Opposition Front” to build an effective and credible alternative to the current two-party system. On social matters, the party has supported populist policies such as the re-introduction of the death penalty (long abolished in Greece), specifically as a sentence for drug dealers. Makis Voridis, a lawyer, and former General Secretary of the EPEN youth, was the President of the Hellenic Front.
On the EU level, the party cooperated with other European Far-right forces, such as the National Rally, the Flemish Block, and the National Front.
