She described it in the darkest colors. Aristotelia Peloni in 2008 Konstantinos Mitsotakis, in a special edition of the newspaper «Ta Nea» on the Apostasy, which had the general title «Defection – The days that shook Greece».
Her eight-page text had the eloquent title «Konstantinos Mitsotakis: The “soul” of the Apostasy»And that wasn't the harshest description he gave to father of the current prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The government spokesperson wrote that «the protagonist of the Apostasy and the schism of the Center Union of George Papandreou, which broke out in July 1965, was Konstantinos Mitsotakis».
He even considered him overly ambitious for the circumstances of the time. «Although he did not become prime minister of the rebels, he is considered the “soul” of the Rebellion, nephew of Eleftherios Venizelos and member of parliament for Chania., He did not hide his ambitions to reach the top despite his young age. – he was 43 years old in 1965, younger than most of the important members of the Center Union.
Aristotelia Peloni portrayed Konstantinos Mitsotakis as ruthless. She wrote: «He even showed that he was determined to stop at nothing to achieve his political goals».
She portrayed him as being completely entangled with domestic and foreign interests. The current government spokesperson wrote: «In this context and in consultation with foreign agents, the palace, and financial interests of the season, organized, implemented, and supported the biggest conspiracy in the country after the Civil War.».
Elsewhere in the text, she indirectly criticized the fact that, at the time the article was written, Konstantinos Mitsotakis had intervened in a way that «nevertheless included minimal dose of self-criticism».
Of particular interest was Aristotelia Peloni's decision to directly link Konstantinos Mitsotakis with publisher Panos Kokkas and his behind-the-scenes activities. The current government spokesperson wrote: «P. Kokkas, who identified politically with K. Mitsotakis, played a decisive behind-the-scenes role in July 1965 in the fall of the Papandreou government.».
