The Freethinkers' Party (Greek: Κόμμα των Ελευθεροφρόνων) was a Greek Nationalist and Monarchist party founded and led by Ioannis Metaxas who was the Prime Minister and dictator of Greece from 1936 to 1941.[2] It was formally founded in November 1922 after the adoption of the party's manifesto that was unveiled on October 13, 1922.[3] Metaxas had the party and all other parties dissolved following the establishment of the 4th of August Regime, in which he ruled as an official independent.[4]
The first programmatic declaration of the party was published in the daily Nea Imera on 13 October 1922.
