Papandreou, Andreas (Georgios)

Papandreou, Andreas (Georgios)
born Feb. 5, 1919, Chios, Greece
died June 23, 1996, Ekáli, near Athens

Greek educator and prime minister (1981–89, 1993–96).

Son of Georgios Papandreou, he taught at the University of California, Berkeley (1955–63), then returned to Greece when his father became premier (1963) and was elected to the Greek parliament. After the military coup in 1967 he went into exile. He returned in 1974 to form the left-wing Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok). The party gained a majority in 1981, and Papandreou became premier. He promoted generous social-welfare programs, but his government was weakened by financial scandals and mounting budget deficits, and he resigned in 1989 but remained the leader of Pasok. He again became prime minister in 1993, but ill health forced him to retire in 1996.
