Publisher and businessman Giorgos Bombolas “passed away” today at the age of 94.

Active in construction, energy and mass media (MME), with vehicle 2 companies:

– Ellactor, which arose after the merger of Aktor ATE and Hellenic Technodomiki SA in 1999.
– Pegasos Publishing, which owned the television station Mega Channel (by 25%, until November 2019, after the acquisition of the station in its entirety by Alter Ego Mass Media S.A.), the newspapers Ethnos and Imerisia (up to in 2017), and a number of websites and periodicals.

George Bobolas was born in 1929 in Piraeus, originally from Messinia and Laconia. His father was a guerrilla of the Greek People’s Liberation Army and fought in the National Resistance.

Giorgos Bombolas himself was arrested at the age of 14 by the Germans for writing pro-Resistance slogans on walls in Kastella. He continued his activity as a member of EPON. He later studied civil engineering at the National Technical University of Athens and looked for a job at the Ministry of Public Works without success, as he had been “labelled” as a communist.

So he necessarily turned to the private sector and founded the construction company “Technodomi” with the later Minister of Public Works Evangelos Kouloubis as a key partner.
