..... I’m not so sure. The Papandreou clan is one of Greece’s premier political crime families. I suspect he and his cronies will be working hard behind the scenes to regain power.

More of the same ...

Evangelos Venizelos was born in Thessaloniki on 1 January 1957. He is married to Lila A. Bakatselou and has a daughter. He was an undergraduate at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki from 1974 through 1978 and completed postgraduate studies at the University of Paris II in France. In 1980, he received his Ph.D. in Law from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

In 1984, Venizelos was appointed lecturer at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and subsequently Professor of Constitutional Law. Among other positions, he has held a post on the board of the National Centre of Public Administration , the National Bank of Greece, and the Committee for Local Radio (independent authority responsible for the oversight of local radio stations in Greece). He became a national figure in 1989, when he successfully defended Andreas Papandreou from corruption allegations. During the trial, Venizelos demonstrated his powerful gift of oratory. Impressed with his young lawyer, Andreas Papandreou included him in the PASOK list of parliamentary candidates in 1993, and when PASOK returned to power that year, Venizelos became the Government Spokesman.
