The Democratic Patriotic Movement - Victory (NIKI) is an Orthodox Christian fundamentalist party in Greece. The party was founded by teacher and theologian Dimitris Natsios in 2019, and the party achieved considerable support in northern Greece and Macedonia, and among Orthodox Christian brotherhoods and monasteries. The party viewed Orthodox Christianity as a unifying element of the Balkan peoples, supported Greek neutrality (and thus opposed Greek support for Ukraine amid the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine), supported the use of force to resolve issues with Turkey, opposed abortions and sex education, supported upgrading the national health system and armed forces, opposed mandatory vaccinations, and was hostile to gay rights. The party attained parliamentary representation at the June 2023 parliamentary elections, where the far-right Spartiátes and the right-wing New Democracy also increased their seat counts.
