Until 2012 it was [[Two-party system|one of the two major parties]] in the country, along with [[New Democracy (Greece)|New Democracy]], its main political rival. After a decade of poor electoral outcomes, PASOK has retained its position as one of the main Greek political parties and is currently the second largest party in the Greek Parliament.

Following the [[Metapolitefsi|collapse]] of the [[Greek junta|Greek military dictatorship of 1967–1974]], PASOK was founded on 3 September 1974 as a [[Socialism|socialist]] party.

Formerly the largest left-of-center party in Greece between 1977 and 2012, PASOK lost much of its popular support as a result of the [[Greek government-debt crisis|Greek debt crisis]]. PASOK was the ruling party when the economic crisis began, and it negotiated the [[First Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece|first Greek bailout package]] with the [[Troika (European group)|European troika]], which necessitated harsh austerity measures.<ref>{{cite news |last=Smith |first=Helena |title=Greece approves sweeping austerity measures|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/may/06/greece-crisis-approves-austerity-measures|access-date=27 November 2019|work=The Guardian|date=6 May 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Donadio|first=Rachel|title=Greece Approves Tough Measures on Economy |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/30/world/europe/30greece.html|access-date=27 November 2019|work=The New York Times|date=29 June 2011}}</ref> This caused a significant loss in the party's popularity.<ref name="Barometro Okt 2011">{{cite news|url=http://www.skai.gr/files/1/PDF/varometroskaitVoktober.pdf |title=Politikó Varómetro 95 – Októvrios 2011|script-title=el:Πολιτικό Βαρόμετρο 95 – Οκτώβριος 2011|trans-title=Ultimate Barometer 95 – October 2011|date=6 October 2011|publisher=Skai Group|language=el|access-date=7 October 2011}}</ref><ref name="Public Issue">{{cite web|title=Mnimónio éna chróno metá: Apodokimasía, aganáktisi, apaxíosi, anasfáleia|script-title=el:Μνημόνιο ένα χρόνο μετά: Αποδοκιμασία, αγανάκτηση, απαξίωση, ανασφάλεια|trans-title=One Year after the Memorandum: Disapproval, Anger, Disdain, Insecurity|url=http://www.skai.gr/news/politics/article/169875/mnimonio-ena-hrono-meta-apodokimasia-aganaktisi-apaxiosi-anasfaleia/|publisher=Skai Group|language=el|access-date=18 May 2011|date=19 May 2011}}</ref> It was part of two coalition governments from 2011 to 2015, during which further austerity measures were taken in response to the crisis. Due to these measures and the crisis, PASOK went from being the largest party in the [[Hellenic Parliament]] with 160 seats (43.92% of the popular vote) in the [[2009 Greek legislative election|2009 election]] to being the smallest party with 13 seats (4.68% of the popular vote) in the [[January 2015 Greek legislative election|January 2015 election]]. This decline became known as [[Pasokification]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/may/22/jeremy-corbyn-labour-anti-austerity-manifesto|title=Jeremy Corbyn has defied his critics to become Labour's best hope of survival|last=Younge|first=Gary|date=22 May 2017|work=The Guardian|access-date=30 November 2019|issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

To halt the party's decline, [[Fofi Gennimata]] was elected as the new president of the party and formed a political alliance known as the [[Democratic Alignment (2015)|Democratic Alignment]] (DISY). In the [[September 2015 Greek legislative election|September 2015 election]], DISY was the fourth most voted-for party. In 2018, PASOK merged into a new political alliance of centre-left parties, again led by Gennimata, called the [[PASOK – Movement for Change|Movement for Change]] (KINAL), becoming the third largest party in the parliament in the [[2019 Greek legislative election|2019 election]]. After the death of Gennimata and the election of the new Party President [[Nikos Androulakis]], PASOK (running under the new [[PASOK – Movement for Change|PASOK-KINAL]] umbrella) improved its electoral outcome, achieving a 11.84% share of the popular vote in the [[June 2023 Greek legislative election|June 2023 election]]. In [[2024 PASOK – KINAL leadership election|October 2024]], Androulakis was re-elected as president of PASOK.
