The party was created after disagreements with Democratic Party (DIKO) leader Nikolas Papadopoulos with regard to the approach the Greek Cypriot administration should take with regard to working to solve the Cyprus problem.[3] The party was admitted into the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) on 18 November 2020[4] and it is a member of the Renew Europe European parliament group.[5] Following the 2026 legislative election, the party lost all its seats in the House of Representatives.[6]
