Pirate Party of Greece

The Pirate Party of Greece (Greek: Κόμμα Πειρατών Ελλάδας) is a political party in Greece. Initially based on the model of the Swedish Pirate Party, its basic platform is aligned with the global Pirate movement, and supports reform of copyright law to reflect open source and free culture values, government transparency, evidence-based policy, egalitarianism, the abolition or severe reform of patents, and respect for privacy and civil liberties.In recent years, it has expanded its scope to a broader range of policy topics, such as its support for a fully secular state, the adoption of universal basic income, its call for stronger protection of reproductive rights, its opposition to militarism, nationalism, colonialism, and its drive for the further democratization of the European Union.

The party was founded on 14 January 2012. It was officially recognized on 10 February 2012, and had 480 members on that date. In 2013, during its 2nd Congress, its members voted to remove an explicit reference to direct democracy from its principles. This decision was reversed in the 12th Congress of June 2025 with the adoption of the Rethymno Declaration, which explicitly mentions direct and participatory democracy (i.e. the combination of the two) as a prerequisite for the strengthening of democracy and the rule of law. This decision was also reflected in an amendment to the party's declaration of principles and priorities.

It was a full member of the Pirate Parties International (PPI) and the European Pirate Party (PPEU) until June 2025, when its members unanimously voted to leave the two entities, citing ideological issues, a lack of political added value, and a lack of room for "constructive and productive political discourse". Their departure from the PPI was followed by the United States Pirate Party's own resignation from the entity on February 1, 2026, explicitly citing the PPI's stance on the Gaza genocide and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
