Regierung und Politik

The Hellenic Government

The Third Republic (1974 – present)

The restoration of democracy in July 1974 signaled a turning point in Modern Greek political history. When the military regime that had ruled the country since 1967 collapsed, a transitional period began with the formation of a "national unity" government under Konstantinos Karamanlis, who had played a prominent role as Prime Minister during the late fifties and early sixties. Three major decisions were taken by the "national unity" government: First, to organize free parliamentary elections for the election of a constitutional assembly; second, to organize a referendum on the question of the monarchy, and third, to legalize the Communist Party (KKE), which had previously been considered illegal since its formation.
