Voice of Reason (political party)

The Voice of Reason (Φωνή Λογικής, FL) is a far-right,  ultranationalist  political party in Greece. It was established in 2023 by Afroditi Latinopoulou, a lawyer and former tennis athlete.

History
The party was originally founded as "Homeland" (Πατρίδα), but was excluded from the May 2023 Greek legislative election by the Supreme Court due to a dispute over the name and symbol of the Patriotic Force for Change (PATRIDA) party, to which Latinopoulou had previously belonged. The party was subsequently renamed and took part in the snap June 2023 Greek legislative election, receiving 0.43% of the vote. In the 2024 European Parliament election, it received just over the electoral threshold of 3%, electing its leader Afroditi Latinopoulou as an MEP. On July 8, 2024 the party joined the Patriots for Europe, after the latter merged with Identity and Democracy.

Political positions
The political positions of the party as revealed by the statements of its leader, Afroditi Latinopoulou described as nationalistic and far-right, a label she rejects. She advocates for anti-abortion rights, opposes LGBTQ rights, and has expressed transphobic   and anti-immigration views, repeatedly calling for the borders to be closed. She expressed her desire to work with other European far-right leaders, including Marine Le Pen or Giorgia Meloni, and endorsed a vote for Le Pen's and Jordan Bardella's National Rally in the 2024 French legislative election.

On the 2023 Israel-Hamas War, the party supported Israel and condemned the October 7 attack as an attack on Western civilisation, though Latinopolou later emphasized that both sides should respect the rules of war, particularly considering children. The party also condemned the 2024 Iranian strikes on Israel. The party condemned the court ban on the Spartans political party contesting the 2024 European Parliament election in Greece.
