Summary/Abstract: This work has a dual purpose. Firstly, it explains the specificity of the Greek right in comparison to the European right. Secondly, it provides a concise overview of the programmatic ideas and electoral dynamics of Greek parties belonging to the right during the specified period. These topics are largely unfamiliar to Serbian political science. Following the introduction, the first part of the paper establishes the spatial-temporal framework of the research by identifying the parties that constitute the Greek right during the relevant period. The second part of the paper delves into the reasons behind the Greek right’s oscillation between anti-Semitism (anti-Zionism) and philo-Semitism (philo-Zionism). It explores whether this oscillation was influenced by foreign policy considerations, particularly in the context of Jewish-Turkish relations, rather than domestic politics (the question of integrating the Jewish community into a given nation as it was in other parts of Europe). It particularly investigates why the “Golden Dawn” party stands out as the only right-wing party that does not conform to this trend? The third part of the paper traces the ideological and electoral trajectory of Greek right-wing parties. Despite a highly volatile party landscape, there is a notable continuity in the ideas promoted by these parties.
