The Politically Independent Alignment,[5] alternatively translated as Politically Independent Camp[6] or Front[2] (Greek: Πολιτική Ανεξάρτητη Παράταξη or Πολιτική Ανεξάρτητος Παράταξις, Politikí Anexártiti Parátaxi or Politikí Anexártitos Parátaxis, PAP) was a Greek electoral alliance that ran in the 1950 legislative election and represented loyalists of the former dictator Ioannis Metaxas.[5]

It was established in 1949 as an alliance of the Greek Renaissance Party of Konstantinos Maniadakis, former Minister of Public Order during the 4th of August Regime, and the Nationalist Party[6] of Theodoros Tourkovasilis, a former Governor of the Bank of Greece.[1]

In the 1950 Greek legislative election, the party gained 8,15% of the votes and 16 seats in the Hellenic Parliament.
