The Democratic Alignment (Greek: Δημοκρατική Συμπαράταξη (ΔΗΣΥ), romanized: Dimokratiki Symparataxi, DISI), also translated as Democratic Coalition, was a political alliance in Greece.

History

The alliance was launched on 30 August 2015 by the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and the Democratic Left (DIMAR).

In the September 2015 legislative election, the alliance received 6.3% of the vote, providing the mandate for 17 seats in the Hellenic Parliament.

In January 2017, the Movement of Democratic Socialists joined Democratic Alignment.

Οn 13 January 2017, MPs Leonidas Grigorakos and Ilchan Achmet joined the Democratic Alignment.

On 16–18 March 2018, DISI and other Greek centre-left parties merged into Movement for Change.

It remained legally active (albeit not as a political formation) alongside PASOK – KINAL, PASOK and Olive Tree until 2022; balance sheets were published for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
