Georgios Kosmidis (; â January 17, 1970), who was of Caucasus Greek origin, was a Greek politician who was one of the founding members of the National Union of Greece (E.E.E.) in 1927. According to Mark Mazower, he spoke Turkish, was a trader and was illiterate. He came from Constantinople but worked as a tailor in Thessaloniki. He was antisemitic and anticommunist; according to him, Jewish people "crucified Christ" and took customers away from his business, and communists were treacherous to Greek society and culture. Despite having founded the E. E. E. he did not often directly participate in it until he was elected its president in 1929. During the 1930s he sewed its members' khaki uniforms.
