The Olive Tree (Greek: Ελιά, Elia), full name Olive Tree – Democratic Alignment (Ελιά – Δημοκρατική Παράταξη) was a centre-left political and electoral alliance in Greece. The alliance was founded at a congress in Athens on 7 March 2014 to contest the upcoming European Parliament elections.[1] The alliance included the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and minor allies,[2][3] the Agreement for the New Greece, Dynamic Greece and the New Reformers.[4] The Olive Tree was endorsed by Martin Schulz, the Party of European Socialists' candidate for European Commission presidency.[5]

In the May 2014 European elections, the Olive Tree list came in fourth place nationally, receiving 8.0% of the vote, electing 2 MEPs to the S&D group.[6][7]
