Active Citizens (Greek: Ενεργοί Πολίτες) was a left-wing political party in Greece. It was founded by the late Manolis Glezos, a former United Democratic Left member of the Hellenic Parliament in 2002 and joined the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) in 2004, where it has largely remained other than a brief stint with the Popular Unity party during the September 2015 legislative elections.[2][3][4][5]
