5 Ways to Get Your Greek Citizenship Done Faster
Written By: Christophoros
As many in the Greek Diaspora know all too well, getting your Greek Citizenship can be a long and difficult process. This is because people are often stuck communicating with the Greek government through consulates and embassies in America, which are often understaffed and poor at communication. We at KTE have heard countless stories from Greeks living all over the world about how hard it is to track down all the necessary documents to make their Greek citizenry official, even after multiple years into the process.
Demographic Replacement in Greece
Written By: Alexandros
Demographic replacement and immigration have emerged as the most important political issues over the last three U.S. election cycles. By 2045, America will be a minority white country – compared to 1960, when the country was 85% white. Many people debate the founding of America as a country that owned slaves and was essentially a white-ethnostate in the early years of its existence. The common argument is that in the modern day, America has expanded in scope to now include people of many races, religions, and ethnicities, and its demographic makeup is of little concern.
How Greek Orthodoxy Healed Me From Depression
Written By: Christophoros
When I experienced mental health issues for the first time at age 22, it swiftly knocked the wind out of my sails and completely blindsided me. I eventually figured out my depression was tied to deep anxiety over graduating from college, but the effects permeated through all aspects of my life and significantly impacted my Greek Orthodox spirituality. Many people don’t know that 29% of US adults will be diagnosed with depression at some point in their lives, and that number has grown by almost 10% in less than a decade, according to Gallup.
Tradition: The Antidote to Radical Leftism
Written By: Alexandros
Radical leftism is a social contagion. I should know. Take it from someone who grew up in Seattle, WA – it’s about as liberal as any place in the world. I was raised in the early 2000s and reached my teens by the mid-2010s. I saw my hometown slowly devolve from a pretty normal place into an environment where sexual deviancy, self-worship, and radical liberal ideals became not just popular – but trendy.

Official Statement on the 2024 Presidential Election
Written By: Alexandros
Regardless of the 2024 presidential election results, KTE believes that America is plagued by issues far greater than a single election can resolve. The only policy objective that KTE holds in the United States is the promotion of Hellenic identity and Orthodox religious spirituality within its borders. We are not convinced that a Trump victory necessarily supports or opposes our goals for the Hellenic Diaspora. We urge President-elect Donald Trump to take decisive action regarding the illegal occupation of Cyprus, and we hope the policy of domestic and military support for the Hellenic Republic continues.
2024 European Parliamentary Elections
Written By: Alexandros
KTE wishes to congratulate all patriotic parties on their success in the 2024 European Parliamentary elections. We believe that all patriotic parties are engaged in a struggle to revive Greece and the Hellenic spirit. We look forward to seeing what these parties will bring to the European Parliament and how they can advocate on behalf of our great nation. As the diaspora, we believe that our representation in Greece and the European Parliament is the key to our eventual unification with our homeland and our people.

Greeks For Trump? How Greek Americans Will Be Voting in 2024
Written By: Dimitris Karnavas
Greek-Americans have a history of high voter turnout in the United States compared to other ethnic groups. It’s an unsurprising trend considering Greece pioneered the democratic system that strongly influenced America’s own political structure. This year, several prominent Greek-American politicians have voiced their support for President Donald Trump, with one predicting a 75% Greek-American turnout for Trump in 2024. Historically, the Greek community has leaned toward conservatism, influenced by their Orthodox religious values, traditional family roles, and anti-communism sentiments.
Greece's Social, Political & Economic Challenges: A Greek-American’s View After 8 Years In Greece
Written By: Will Anagnos
When I first moved to Greece over eight years ago, I was drawn by the country’s rich history, culture, and warm people. As a Greek American, I knew I would have an easier time fitting in. Greece offered all that I expected, but it also revealed a mix of social, political, and economic challenges that I was not expecting. As a Greek-American, I’ve had a unique perspective. I feel close to Greece as my ancestral homeland, but after so many years and so many conversations, I also see the differences in its systems and values from what I grew up with in America.
Oxi Day: Freedom or Death
Written By: Anastasios
It is October of 1940. World War II has been raging for 13 months between the Axis powers – chiefly Germany and Italy – and the Allies, recently being reduced to just the United Kingdom and her commonwealth nations. The German army appears entirely unstoppable, having achieved stunning victories over the Allies who have lost their entire presence on the European continent. Benito Mussolini, envious of his ally’s conquests, issues an ultimatum to Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas on October 28th, 1940.

Written By: KTE Executive Board
A recent newspaper article revealed that over the past nine months, 10,600 Greek youth have been arrested for theft, drug possession, committing bodily harm, or possessing a deadly weapon. The Greek Minister of Citizen Protection addressed this rise in juvenile delinquency, explaining that there has been a 43% increase in arrests of underage offenders compared to 2023. Of the 10,600 arrests made so far this year, 2,285 were arrested for theft, and 873 for drug possession.
Why Men Of The Greek Diaspora Should Do Their Military Service
Written By: Christophoros
I once called up the Greek Consulate of Los Angeles to set a date for my required military service, and the employee on the other end of the line automatically assumed I was attempting to secure an exemption. She was quite surprised when I explained to her that I fully intended to complete the obligatory three months of training for Greek citizens born abroad. During that same phone call, I was informed I did not have to complete the mandatory training if I spent less than six months per year in Greece – a loophole I already knew about – to which I reaffirmed my desire to serve.
An Unbiased Breakdown of Greece’s 10 Main Political Parties
Written By: Dimitris Karnavas
Greek politics have utilized a Parliamentary Democracy since 1974, operating under a multi-party system that stands in stark contrast to the two-party political landscape Americans are accustomed to. Today, Nea Demokratia (or New Democracy) leads Greece as the ruling party, but there are many other organizations nipping at their heels and rounding out the expansive political arena. Here is a straightforward breakdown of the 10 political parties in the Greek Parliament, listed from most left-wing to centrist to right-wing.
