Course of Freedom (Greek: Πλεύση Ελευθερίας, romanized: Plefsi Eleftherias) is a left-wing Greek political party founded on 19 April 2016, by former Hellenic Parliament Speaker, Zoe Konstantopoulou.

History

After the agreement for the Third Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece by the first government of SYRIZA-ANEL, Zoe Konstantopoulou dissociated herself from the views of the party and participated in the following legislative elections as the leader of Popular Unity in Athens A'. However, the party did not manage to achieve the electoral threshold for representation in the legislature.

On 19 April 2016 she announced the founding of Course of Freedom. According to its founding declaration, the party's purpose of action consists of: Democracy, justice, transparency, rights, debt cancellation and claim for World War II reparations.

The founding event was attended, among others, by Rachel Makri, Nadia Valavani, Aglaia Kiritsi, Giannis Stathas (all four were parliamentarians with Syriza who left in 2015), Manousos Manousakis, Charis Sozos, Vasia Panagopoulou, Avgi Voutsina and Deppy Golema.
