Afroditi Latinopoulou (Template:Lang-el, born 29 April 1991) is a Greek politician and leader of the Voice of Logic party. She will become a member of the European Parliament on 16 July 2024.

Life

Aphrodite Latinoopoulou was born on April 29, 1991 in Thessaloniki. She was the first child of a religious family of teachers of secondary education. From almost her childhood, she was involved in tennis, a sport with which she won 15 Greek championships and 4 European championships. In 2010 it was "number 1067" in ranking of Women's Tennis Association.

Due to a serious injury her career in the sport ended in 2013.

Politics

In the Legislative Elections of 2019, she stood as a candidate for MP in Thessaloniki with the New Democracy. She received 5,297 votes, finishing in 18th place out of a total of 20 candidates.

Aphrodite Latinoopoulou was particularly active on social media where her posts on political and social issues often clashed with the official policy of the New Democracy. Thus, in the summer of 2022 and following her comments on the appearance of an obese Greek TV presenter and the wrong beauty standards she was promoting, New Democracy, issued a statement declaring that: "The politician Aphrodite Latinoopoulou has no office or position in the organizational chart of New Democracy, either at local or central level, and will not be a candidate in the next national elections".
For her part, Latinoopoulou argued that she abandoned the New Democracy party which has ceased to serve the ideas of the traditional right "...faithfully following the political correctness agenda of the Democrats and will soon be competing with SYRIZA to see who best serves the professional human-rightists."
