History edit
Failos Kranidiotis, a lawyer and former advisor to ex-Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, founded the new party in May 2016, shortly after he was ousted from the conservative New Democracy party, by leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis over controversial online comments.[2]
In June 2016, Kranidiotis announced the party's National Council (presidium).[5][6]
In May 2022, the party announced a new coalition formed with Recreate Greece, and named National Creation.
The New Right has been a member of the Movement for a Europe of Nations and Freedom since 2018.[7][8][9][10]
