Όταν επέστρεψε στην Ελλάδα ο Ανδρέας

σα σήμερα, 16 Αυγούστου 1974, στις εννιά και πέντε το βράδυ,
προσγειώνεται στο Αεροδρόμιο του Ελληνικού,
ενα αεροπλάνο αλλιώτικο απ τα άλλα
………………………………………..
ήταν το αεροπλάνο που έφερνε στην Ελλάδα τον Ανδρέα Παπανδρέου μετά την πτώση της χούντας
………………………………………..
It is a return that will radically change the history of Greece.
………………………………………..
But let's take things from the beginning.,
But which principle?;
When Andreas fled to the US because Metaxas's thugs had beaten him up?;
When Karamanlis invited him to return to Greece after a brilliant academic career in the US?;
ή
When Lada's ESA agents broke into his home in Kastri and threatened his son George?;
………………………………………..
τότε,
They stuck the revolver to the child's head and shouted at him:
«I'll kill you if you don't tell me where your father is.»
From the roof, Andreas' voice was heard:
«I surrender.».
He jumped onto the balcony. He stumbled and hurt his foot, and limping, he followed the soldiers.
………………………………………..
they took him to the detention center where he remained in solitary confinement for eight months
………………………………………..
This sparked an uproar in the US, mainly in academic circles,
even pressuring President Johnson
………………………………………..
ο Τζόνσον κούνησε το δαχτυλάκι του στον Παπαδόπουλο και αυτός διέταξε να απελευθερώσουν και να διώξουν απ την Ελλάδα τον Ανδρέα
………………………………………..
On January 16, 1968, Stylianos Pattakos himself handed Andreas his passport with irony.
………………………………………..
Andreas leaves Greece in a miserable state, frighteningly thin and pale in appearance.
………………………………………..
but the flame burns inside him
………………………………………..
He travels through various European cities and gives interviews in which he lambasts the junta.
and passes the buck to foreign governments,
essentially asking them to isolate the junta
………………………………………..
Τελικά καταλήγει στη Σουηδία, όπου αναλαμβάνει καθηγητής Οικονομικών του Πανεπιστημίου της Στοκχόλμης.
………………………………………..
but he didn't stick to his money and his good things
………………………………………..
establishes the Panhellenic Liberation Movement (P.A.K.)
and
traveled around the world trying to create a movement against the junta in Greece
………………………………………..
The junta members then found themselves in a difficult position many times due to the negative comments made by prominent academics against the junta.
and they paid Andreas back in kind.
………………………………………..
In November 1968, when his father died, Andreas asked to be allowed to come to Greece to bury his father.,
they denied it
that way
Only his wife, Margarita, and his 16-year-old son, George, came to say their final farewells to the old man, but they were accompanied by 1,000,000 people at the cemetery.
………………………………………..
A million people who turned the funeral into an anti-government demonstration with arrests and a lot of violence.
………………………………………..
But Andreas did not bow to the pettiness of the junta,
prohibited them from burying his father at public expense
………………………………………..
23 days after the fall of the junta,
σα σήμερα 16 Αυγούστου 1974,
When Andreas descended the steps of the plane, reporters managed to ask him a question.
«Will you join the Karamanlis government?»
Andreas's response was:
«Only under certain conditions»
………………………………………..
ο Καραμανλής είχε φτιάξει ή υποτίθεται οτι ειχε φτιάξει μια κυβέρνηση εθνικής ενότητας
and such was the unanimity and unity that, when asked the same question, the then Minister of National Defense, Evangelos Averoff,
responded sarcastically:
«Ε, όχι κι ο Ανδρέας στην κυβέρνηση».
………………………………………..
για την δεξιά τότε ο Ανδρέας ήταν,
οτι περίπου είναι σήμερα για τον μέσο Έλληνα δεξιο,
Jason Apostolopoulos
………………………………………..
τύπου
Ήμαρτον με αυτή τη δημοκρατία σας,
είπαμε
But let's not put Democrats in the government, and let's definitely not put women in there.
………………………………………..
But the wave stirred up by Andreas' return was tidal.
………………………………………..
He filled the airport and, for days afterwards, its courtyard in Kastri.
………………………………………..
οι τότε ηγέτες της ένωσης κέντρου προσπαθούσαν να τον μαζέψουν με τρόπο
but
ο Ανδρέας είχε πάρει τις αποφάσεις του
………………………………………..
τις εκμυστηρεύτηκε πρώτα στους νεαρούς που ξημεροβραδιάζονταν στον κήπο του στο Καστρί
Λαλιώτης, Τζουμάκας, Τσούρας, Ευθυμίου κτλ
«Θα δημιουργήσουμε ένα πολιτικό κίνημα για τους μη προνομιούχους Ελληνες..»
………………………………………..
ηταν η πρώτη αναγγελία της ίδρυσης του ΠΑΣΟΚ που θα το πει δημοσία λίγες μέρες μετά,
στις 3 Σεπτεμβρίου 1974
………………………………………..
ΥΓ. θα πει αργότερα η Μελίνα Μερκούρη για εκείνη τη βραδιά στο αεροδρόμιο
«Δεν θα ξεχάσω ποτέ τις στιγμές όταν κατέβηκε από το αεροπλάνο… υπήρχε πλημμύρα ανθρώπων»
