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 remained legally active (albeit not as a political formation) alongside PASOK – KINAL, PASOK and Democratic Alignment until 2022, as balance sheets were published for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022
