I Don't Pay Movement (Greek: Κίνημα Δεν Πληρώνω, Kínima den Pliróno) is a Greek political party founded in March 2012 by citizens who participated in the "I don't pay" movement.[1] The philosophy of the movement, like that of its counterpart in the United Kingdom, is that social goods should be free and accessible to all members of society.[2] It participated in the May 2012 National Elections and won 0.9% of the vote.

Among other things, the party proposed:

  • Remove all the country's toll stations - free roads for everyone
  • Remove all rate hikes which were imposed on citizens
  • Free heating for the unemployed, poor and large families
  • Free travel and free access to public transportation for all[3]
  • Nationalization of banks under the control of the people
