Page 153: [...] "in the absence of any other solid evidence in the form of written records what one can say about this matter with relative certainty is that the party sort of emerged from the group of disaffected, royalist officers and his own political cronies in Cephalonia as well as known royalist political figures in Corfu which Metaxas had brought together, after 1918, to oppose the rebel Plastira officer-led republican regime in 1922-23. An important element in the dissemination of the new party's views was a faction of the royalist press".
