The founder and historic leader of PASOK Andreas Papandreou passed away nineteen years ago today. The recently-elected president of the party Fofi Gennimata commented that “Andreas Papandreou is everywhere. He lives inside of us, in the heart of the great majority of the Greek people, because his ideas were vindicated by history and his work recognized by society”.
Mrs. Gennimata stressed that “Andreas Papandreou was often ahead of his time, with his ideological references and basic political choices influence to a great extent, not just Greece, but the whole of Europe”. She stated that Andreas Papandreou lived up to the people’s expectations, who enjoyed freedoms and rights with Democracy, Growth, Justice and Solidarity.
In concluding her statement, Mrs. Gennimata underlined that aside from honoring Andreas Papandreou’s memory, the 23rd of June is a day of reflection and assuming the responsibility f preserving his political legacy.
