Antonis Samaras launches new centre‑right party amid criticism from his daughter

Former Greek prime minister Antonis Samaras is moving forward with the creation of a new centre‑right political party. He has assembled a core group of about 21 senior figures—including former ministers, MPs and local officials—many of whom have long careers in New Democracy, to give the initiative organizational depth and visibility. The party aims to attract voters who feel unrepresented by the current centre‑right landscape.

The effort has drawn sharp rebuke from Alexia Evr... (identified as the daughter of former New Democracy president Miltiadis Evr...), who publicly denounced Samaras’s move as “unacceptable and repulsive.” In a newspaper column she accused him of misusing the New Democracy legacy and warned that his new party could further fragment the centre‑right electorate.
