The Patriotic Force for Change ({{langx|el|Πατριωτική Δύναμη Αλλαγής|translit=Patriotikí Dýnami Allagís}}, abbreviated to ΠΑΤΡΙΔΑ) was a Greek political party founded in September 2022.{{Cite web |date=2022-09-26 |title=Νέο κόμμα ανακοίνωσε ο Μπογδάνος – Αντιπρόεδρος η Αφροδίτη Λατινοπούλου |url=https://www.cnn.gr/politiki/story/330051/neo-komma-anakoinose-o-bogdanos-antiproedros-i-afroditi-latinopoylou |access-date=2022-09-30 |website=CNN.gr |language=el}} Its acronym is read {{lang|el|πατρίδα}} (patrída), the Greek word for "fatherland".

Its president and founder was Konstantinos Bogdanos, a right-wing journalist who had been elected to the Hellenic Parliament at the 2019 election with New Democracy. Prior to the May 2023 election, the party was represented in parliament by Bogdanos, who sat as an independent for the Athens A constituency after his expulsion from the governing party in October 2021.{{Cite web |date=2022-09-25 |title=Ανακοινώνεται το κόμμα του Κωνσταντίνου Μπογδάνου - Αντιπρόεδρος η Λατινοπούλου |url=https://www.protothema.gr/politics/article/1288473/anakoinonetai-to-komma-tou-konstadinou-bogdanou-adiproedros-i-latinopoulou/ |access-date=2022-09-30 |website=ProtoThema |language=el}}

In January 2023, Bogdanos announced an electoral alliance with Wave of Hellenism, a political alliance originally established by nationalist parties including Front Line, LEPEN, National Popular Consciousness and Spartans.{{cite web | url=https://patrida.net/deltio-tipou/i-patri-d-a-ypodechetai-se-politiki-systratefsi-to-ky-m-a-ellinismou/?fbclid=IwAR3ayBYu5ToHQvUvKsA9xqiHUMVSWibJFOgQjOlDsJHlh7GqL0W-WnPGjFA | title=Η ΠΑΤΡΙ.Δ.Α υποδέχεται σε πολιτική συστράτευση το "ΚΥ.Μ.Α. Ελληνισμού" - ΠΑΤΡΙΔΑ | date=26 January 2023 }}

In March 2023, a new electoral alliance with the Patriotic Union and several minor nationalist parties was announced, with Bogdanos assuming the role of vice-president. The Hellenism Committee, the Hellenic Section of the United States Republican Party and the Hellenic-Russian-Armenian Friendship Association expressed their support. Afroditi Latinopoulou, a lawyer and co-founder of the party, was expelled by Bogdanos after her refusal to participate in the new alliance.{{cite web |url=https://www.protothema.gr/politics/article/1349891/bogdanos-den-einai-diazugio-ti-diegrapsa-latinopoulou-xepoulise-to-komma/ |title=Μπογδάνος: Δεν είναι διαζύγιο, τη διέγραψα - Λατινοπούλου: Ξεπούλησε το κόμμα |date=14 March 2023}}{{cite web |title=Κ.Υ.Μ.Α.

They were subsequently permitted to participate in the June 2023 election, after Bogdanos announced his party's membership in the Patriotic Coalition and Latinopoulou changed her party's name to Voice of Reason.

After the Patriotic Coalition failed to meet the electoral threshold, Bogdanos announced the end of his political career and his return to journalism,{{Cite web |date=2023-12-05 |url=https://www.protothema.gr/politics/article/1443027/bogdanos-kleinei-to-politiko-tou-grafeio-kai-epistrefei-sti-dimosiografia/ |title=Μπογδάνος: Κλείνει το πολιτικό του γραφείο και επιστρέφει στη δημοσιογραφία |website=Proto Thema |language=el}} thus leaving the party inactive without further details about its function.
