“Like today, 26 years ago, Hellenism said goodbye to the leader who changed the course of modern Greece, Konstantinos Karamanlis. The politician who sealed with his presence the return of democracy and the integration of the country into the European family. While with the establishment of the New Democracy, it opened the way for the unity and collective progress of our society”, the ND press office said in a statement on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the death of Konstantinos Karamanlis.

“In the 50 years of Postcolonialism, a period during which the personal path of Constantinos Karamanlis was more than ever identified with the path of the country, our thoughts return to his teachings. In truth, the right word and the boldness that distinguished his work. Next to social orientation. Faith in development. And commitment to duty for a safe and proud homeland” he adds.

ND emphasizes that it maintains and renews these principles by honoring the memory of its historical leader. “Much more in view of the European elections, which make his top choice relevant: that of Europe and the western democratic world. We remain loyal, therefore, to the trajectory of responsibility and progress that he drew. So that with certain steps we can build the new Greece in the new Europe of tomorrow” concludes the ND.
