The Party of New Liberals (Greek: Kόμμα των Nεοφιλελευθέρων) was a shortly lived liberal political party in Greece.
The party was founded by Constantine Mitsotakis in 1977. It took part in only one election, that of 1977, where it obtained 1.08% of the vote and two seats in the Hellenic Parliament (the other seat being filled by Pavlos Vardinoyannis).
The New Liberals merged into the New Democracy party in 1978.
Famous quotes containing the words party and/or liberals:
“He said, truly, that the reason why such greatly superior numbers quailed before him was, as one of his prisoners confessed, because they lacked a cause,—a kind of armor which he and his party never lacked. When the time came, few men were found willing to lay down their lives in defense of what they knew to be wrong; they did not like that this should be their last act in this world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The liberals can understand everything but people who don’t understand them.”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
