The
1999 European election was the fifth election to the European Parliament. The opposition conservative
New Democracy party made gains as did the
Communist Party of Greece, while the ruling
PASOK lost ground. Two parties on the left, the relatively new
Democratic Social Movement and the
Coalition of the Left and Progress elected two MEPs each.
Political Spring, which had elected 2 MEPs in 1994, was unsuccessful in passing the 3% threshold and did not elect any members. ==References==
