The Politically Independent Alignment,[3] alternatively translated as Politically Independent Camp[4] or Front[1] (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 dicator Ioannis Metaxas.[3]

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[4] of Theodoros Tourkovasilis, a former Governor of the Bank of Greece.

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