The Olive Tree ( Greek: Ελιά, Elia), full name Olive Tree – Democratic Alignment (Ελιά – Δημοκρατική Παράταξη) was a centre-left electoral alliance. [1] The alliance included the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and minor allies, [2] [3] the Agreement for the New Greece, Dynamic Greece and the New Reformers. [4] The Olive Tree was endorsed by Martin Schulz, the Party of European Socialists' candidate for European Commission presidency. [5]
In the May 2014 European elections, the Olive Tree list came in fourth place nationally, receiving 8.0% of the vote, electing 2 MEPs to the S&D group. [6] [7]
It still is legally active (albeit not as a political formation) alongside PASOK – KINAL, PASOK and Democratic Alignment; balance sheets have been published for 2019, 2020 and 2021. [8]
