Athens Socialist Party

The Athens Socialist Party is a democratic socialist political party in Athens, and is currently in opposition, having won the 2013 and 2017 elections with a majority of seats, and losing the 2021 elections. It has formed government in Pripyat for 47 of the 51 years since construction of Pripyat began in 1968, except from the 1995 to 1999 period where it was controlled by the NDM, after the Miltonton Affair of 1995.

The party was founded in 1947, as a "party for the working class."

Pripyat and the Socialists
The party is responsible for the existence of Pripyat, buying land off of the government in 1968 and spending decades building Pripyat as a "model socialist city." Due to the popularity of this move, they won the 1975 election and formed government until 1991, winning re-election three times, in 1979, 1983, and 1987. They were out of office from 1991 to 2011, whereupon they narrowly gained a majority in the 2011 election. They won with a landslide victory in 2015, and narrowly won a minority government in 2019.
