Volt Greece
Volt Greece (Greek: Βόλτ Ελλάδας) is a social liberal political party in Greece and the Greek branch of Volt Europa.
Volt Greece was founded in 2018. In July 2022, the group elected its first executive secretariat, with Nikolas Fournarakis and Olga Dourou as co-chairs, and Electra Rome Dochtsi as General Secretary. An ethics committee was also established, chaired by Demetrios Velis. The two bodies were tasked with preparing its establishment as a party. On 4 October 2022, the party was officially registered, becoming the 18th registered party of Volt Europa.
In December 2022, Volt co-founded the new political alliance Prasino & Mov (Greek: Πράσινο & Μωβ) together with other green parties.
On 11 and 12 March, the party held its first founding congress in Athens and elected Nikolas Fournarakis and Theodora Famprikezi as co-presidents, and Konstantinos Kalafatakis as the General Secretary.
The party planned to contest the national parliamentary elections in May 2023 with the Prasino+Mov alliance but the alliance was disqualified from the election by the Supreme Court for lack of required documents. In the June 2023 parliamentary elections, the Prasino+Mov Alliance was admitted to the ballot and participated with 259 candidates in 59 constituencies (51 from Volt), marking Volt's first participation in an election in Greece. The alliance achieved 0.31% of the vote. On July 12, 2023, the party announced its decision to leave the alliance.
In the 2023 regional and local elections, the party officially supported lists in Athens, Pylaia-Chortiatis (with its own mayoral candidate), Thessaloniki, Patras, Larissa and Central Macedonia. In total, Volt won 5 seats. The party won one seat on the Athens Municipal Council and two more in the city's seventh district in the Athens Municipal Elections, as well as one seat in Pylaia-Chortiatis and one in Spata-Artemida. In December 2023, Volt local councillor Olga Dourou was elected deputy mayor of Athens, making her the second in Volt Europa after Federica Vinci in Isernia and the first in her party to hold such an office.
The party ran in the European elections 2024 with a joint list with Kosmos.
In November 2024, a General Assembly was conducted, where the vacant positions of the male co-president and General Secretary were filled by Evangelos Liaras and Electra Rome Dochtsi respectively.
