Greek Unity
Greek Unity (Template:Lang-el) is a minor Greek political party.
It is led by Vasileios (also Vasilis) Protopapas Template:Lang-el, one-time president of the Movement for the Release of Army Officers from Jail (Template:Lang-el,[1] which campaigns for the release of Junta participants from Greek prisons, and vice-president of the Panhellenic Association of Combatants and Friends of the National Resistance Organisation 'X' (Template:Lang-el).[2]
It contested the 2009 European Parliament elections in Greece. The first name on the party list was Nicholaos Dertilis (Template:Lang-el), a former army officer convicted of the murder of a student, Michail Myrogiannis,[3] during the Athens Polytechnic uprising.
As Dertilis remains in prison and did not sign his nomination papers, on 24 May 2009 the Greece's supreme court rejected his candidacy. Despite this disqualification, his name appeared on the printed ballot papers on polling day.[4]
