Union of Centrists Party

• The Greek Union of Centrists is a political party in Greece that espouses a centrist ideology, aiming to strike a balance between the extremes of the political spectrum. Founded by Vassilis Leventis in 1992, the party draws inspiration from the centrist politics of Eleftherios Venizelos, a prominent Greek statesman of the early 20th century. The Union of Centrists seeks to combine liberal economic policies with a strong welfare state, advocating for fiscal responsibility alongside social justice.
  
  The party's values are rooted in the principles of democracy, transparency in government, and the fight against corruption. It emphasizes the importance of a strong and efficient state that is capable of providing for the needs of its citizens while also ensuring that Greece remains competitive in the global economy. The Union of Centrists supports the European Union and Greece's place within it, advocating for policies that strengthen European integration while also protecting national interests.
  
  On social issues, the party tends to adopt a moderate stance, promoting social cohesion, equality, and the protection of civil liberties. It has also been vocal about the need for comprehensive reform in areas such as education, healthcare, and the public administration to make these sectors more efficient and accessible to the Greek people.
  
  The Greek Union of Centrists positions itself as an alternative to the traditional parties of the left and right, aiming to appeal to voters who are disillusioned with the political status quo and seeking pragmatic and balanced solutions to Greece's challenges. Despite its moderate and conciliatory approach, the party has struggled to gain a significant foothold in the highly polarized Greek political landscape, often hovering around the electoral threshold required for representation in the Hellenic Parliament.
