The Creation (Greek: Δημιουργία, romanized: Dimiourgía), formerly Recreate Greece (Greek: Δημιουργία, Ξανά, romanized: Dimiourgia, Xana, pronounced [ðimiuɾˈʝia ksaˈna], lit. 'Create, again'), is a Greek far-right[9][10] political party, which has adopted an ideology heavily focused on anti-immigration,[11] anti-Islam[12][13] and anti-communism.[14][15]

History

Founded in December 2011, it is led by Thanos Tzimeros[16][17] and is self-identified as a citizen-centered political movement,[18] with emphasis on the rebuilding of the Greek state.[19][20]

The party participated in the May 2012 Greek legislative election shortly after being founded, receiving 2.15% of the total vote, short of the 3% threshold needed to enter Parliament.[21][22] In the repeat elections in June, it formed an electoral alliance with Drasi, a fellow liberal party that had finished directly below them in the May election[23] with 1.8% of the vote.[24] Recreate Greece also approached Democratic Alliance,[25] but the latter opted to run on the New Democracy list instead.[26] In the 17 June 2012 elections, the combined parties garnered only 1.59%, a lower vote than either got in the elections the month before.[27] Drasi would later merge with New Democracy, while Recreate Greece declined further, receiving 0.53% in the 2015 election and 0.74% in 2019. In 2020, Thanos Tzimeros announced a new coalition with far-right politician Failos Kranidiotis,[28] which was later merged with a new party formed by Greek conservative MP Constantinos Bogdanos, and named National Creation.

After the party's failure to enter parliament in May 2023 general election Thanos Tzimeros resigned from president[29] and the coalition got dissolved.[30]

On 15–17 January 2024, elections were taken place for the party's new president and Vangelis Aktsalis was elected.[31] In April 2024, the party was renamed to "Creation".[32] After the European elections of 2024, Aktsalis resigned. [33]

Ideology and leadership

[edit | edit source]

Originally, the party's ideology has been referred to as classical liberalism and that it used to promote neoliberal ideas of free markets and small government. Because of his involvement for over a decade, it is widely believed that the party's leader Thanos Tzimeros shapes the party's ideology.[34] His speeches and beliefs have changed over the years, shifting the party further to the right.[35][36] He has been described as extreme or far-right.[9] Tzimeros has described the Greek Communist Party as dangerous and that it must be outlawed,[37] whilst he compares it to neo-Nazism.[38] In some cases, he even expressed controversial opinions about the Greek National Resistance being a historical crime.[39][40] He tends to have controversial views on migration, which have been described as racist, and often proclaims that Islam is a threat.[12][41][42]

Other notable incidents include Tzimeros' calls to overthrow the government in June 2015 which led to a criminal investigation.[43]
