The Democratic Alignment (Template:Langx, DISI), also translated as Democratic Coalition,[1] was a political alliance in Greece.

History

The alliance was launched on 30 August 2015 by the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and the Democratic Left (DIMAR).[2][3][4]

In the September 2015 legislative election, the alliance received 6.3% of the vote, providing the mandate for 17 seats in the Hellenic Parliament.[5]

In January 2017, the Movement of Democratic Socialists joined Democratic Alignment.[6]

Οn 13 January 2017, MPs Leonidas Grigorakos and Ilchan Achmet joined the Democratic Alignment.

On 16–18 March 2018, DISI and other Greek centre-left parties merged into Movement for Change.[7][8]

It remained legally active (albeit not as a political formation) alongside PASOK – KINAL, PASOK and Olive Tree until 2022; balance sheets were published for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.[9]
