Movement of Democratic Socialists

The Movement of Democratic Socialists (Greek: Κίνημα Δημοκρατών Σοσιαλιστών, Kinima Dimokraton Sosialiston) was a political party in Greece established on 3 January 2015 by George Papandreou after splitting from the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK). The party officially used To Kinima (Το Κίνημα, "The Movement") as the party's name abbreviation, although several media outlets and opinion pollsters have referred to it using the acronym KIDISO (ΚΙΔΗΣΟ).

From 2017 to 2026 it was a component of PASOK – Movement for Change. Following the amalgamation of PASOK – Movement for Change into a unitary party, the KIDISO has merged into the new party.
