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. The alliance included the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and minor allies, the Agreement for the New Greece, Dynamic Greece and the New Reformers. The Olive Tree was endorsed by Martin Schulz, the Party of European Socialists' candidate for European Commission presidency.
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.
