Theodoros Bangalos: How he came a step away from becoming its leader PA.SO.K Or more popularly: the man who is “Andreas” in his place Andrea If his character did not betray him … but the “caterpillar” did not turn into a butterfly …
Usually – the last day The spring, May 31, marked three deaths in Greece’s political history: as far back as 1905, the prime minister was assassinated on the steps of the parliament. Theodoros DiligianisIn 1957 the general of ELAS and the main political figure of the place lost his life in a (strange and controversial) car accident. Stephanos Sarafis And a few hours ago his death was announced on social media Theodoros BangalosA political boulder of PA.SO.K, it was very close to Andreas Papandreou’s successor, but…
This “but” can Explained in several ways: quoting them Legendary reports of bungalowsFor example, or recording the reprehensible comments of his like-minded, PASOK ministers and members of parliament, but we have an epithet that Andreas Papandreou himself condemned him for, but who lived the difficult path of the man: “Unpredictable»! And at the highest levels of politics, being characterized as “unpredictable” is dangerous and harmful and often shameful.
The person who could have become “Andreas” in Andrea’s place never received the ring of succession because he was: An opportunity!
“Andrea really liked it at first”
Giorgos Liannis, journalist and deputy minister of PA.SO.K (at that time in Andreas’s close circle due to Dimitra Liannis), in his book “Last boss” (Libani Publications) writes about Theodoros Bagalos and Andreas Papandreou: “The. Theodoros Bangalos At first Andreas Papandreou loved it. Andreas was impressed by Bungalows’ toying with EU issues, and impressed by his behavior at the summit. The Bangalos were saying to the President: “Don’t talk now. Now they’ll talk like this and say this. Then the other person will talk and say those things. And by saying these things I think you should sum it up. And miraculously, the Bangalos never left.”
“Andreas Papandreou Still considered Theodoros Bagalos”balcony“, he knew that he was the only one capable, and recognized him as a true leader, but also characterized him as unpredictable. When he was anointed to the post of mayor, he announced it suddenly to his closest associates. From the beginning, he wanted to give this anointing to Bagalos. Laliotis. This key to the mayor’s office will mark a move that can’t hand Andreas Papandreou his own “I’ve got it” ring.
“Then when he was elected The Dimitris Avramopoulos Andreas, the mayor of Athens, had also told him how much he believed that if Bangalos won the Athens municipality, that would be the most decisive factor in his further development. Years later, when intra-party conflict broke out in PASOK, in a very delicate period, when Andreas Papandreou was attacked for the infamous Villa issue, an event occurred that the leader of PASOK never ended. This is a report by Theodoros Bangalos ThessalonikiAccording to Andreas Papandreou it was a serious humiliation that characterized him Donor.
“That night Although the exact content of the report is still unclear, Andreas Papandreou had decided to fire Theodoros Pagalos. It lasted only a few hours, as moderate partners and cool voices considered it to be an anti-unity move by PA.SO.K and Andreas Papandreou. But since then, Andreas Papandreou has refused to discuss Bagalos: “I’m not talking about the person who called me a bribe taker”.
They undermined him
Giorgos Liannis continues: “Oh Theodoros BangalosHe later admitted that Andreas Papandreou seriously wanted to be elected Mayor of Athens. He also admitted that he might have wanted to give him a head start with the selection. But he believes he is undermining his candidacy and the battle he has waged. Not by Andreas Papandreou, but by others within the PA.SO.K.
“The war of succession has begun, not everyone sees the battle for the municipality of Athens as Andreas saw it – said Bangalos – and they did not pay me. When Melina moved with a budget of 250 million drachmas, I moved with just 60 million. The 40 billion promised by Andreas Papandreou will certainly mean that, but that is post-election. For a time, Athens’ systems were also paralyzed Arsenies Or not Katsifaras They helped. Only one person stood by me with merit Chakis Bebonis And the young man Knossos Alevras. It was counterintuitive to me that in those days Laliotis thought it best to announce the “Attiki SOS” plan, which effectively neutralized my own plan.
Notice here In those days the French newspaper “the worldThe compositions for “Theo” he called Bagalos, wrote about “…the Bagalos Method”. As the pre-election campaign for Athens city council progressed, PA.SOK.K seemed to be in the lead, Bangalos made one of his legendary statements about his opponent Dimitris Avramopoulos “Mr. Nothing». The media pounced, describing Bagalos as a “milkman”…
Several months later, Bangalos, already defeated by “Master Noon”, told the journalist Pavlos Simas: “Those who say this see things from the side of the cow farmer – no one thinks about how the cow sees it.”!
to add At PASOK’s central committee at the “Intercontinental”, when Andreas Papandreou announced his candidacy for Athens, to the applause of the movement’s standing leaders, Theodoros Bangalos turned and said to the person next to him: “Where do you see all this deification of me? Tomorrow – the day after tomorrow…”
Statement that cost him “the ring”.
About the issue that made Andreas Papandreou uncomfortable and angry, when he called him a bribe taker, .
“When dealing with this issue throughout Greece, I had an obligation to Andreas Papandreou to defend him with a similar statement. In other words, I insist on a transparent explanation, otherwise the villa would be considered the product of a real donation. However, I did not say what Papandreou understood. And because of this incident I know very well that he is suffering.
Perfect statement of bungalows It then said: “…this case (referring to Ekali’s pink villa) suggests that the Prime Minister may be guilty of bribery”.
Now the Theodoros Bangalos Travels to the afterlife. it means what History His chapter opens with his legendary statement, or at least a reference to him: “We ate together“, after all, she plastered her infamous grandfather on her long skirts …
And the man who would become “King” is buried in the chaos of his unfiltered expressions and statements.
There were bungalows He did not pretend to be a politician from politicians: he did not believe what he said, and was surprised when others believed him. Many espouse the theory of “the unlovable man.”
His language, but he is honest and innocent.” Still others, his enemies, said that there was nothing in the caterpillar that would one day turn into a butterfly.
May her soil be light of history It hides him…
