<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Constantine Mitsotakis''' (in [[Greek language|Greek]] '''Konstantinos Mitsotakis''') (born [[October 18]], [[1918]]), [[Greece|Greek]] politician, was born in [[Chania]], [[Crete]]. Like most Greek politicians, he came from a political family: his father and grandfathers were members of parliament, and the great liberal leader [[Eleftherios Venizelos]] was his uncle. As a young man he took part in the Cretan resistance against the German occupation. He graduated in law and economics from the [[University of Athens]] and was elected to the Greek Parliament in [[1946]]. <br />
<br />
As a relative of Venizelos, Mitsotakis was a traditional Greek liberal, and a member of [[Georgios Papandreou]]'s [[Center Union]] Party. But in [[1965]] he led a group of dissidents known as the "July apostates" who crossed the floor to bring about the fall of Papandreou's government, which earned him the undying hatred of Papandreou loyalists. He was arrested in [[1967]] by the military junta but managed to escape and lived in exile until his return in [[1974]]. <br />
<br />
In [[1974]] he campaigned as an independent and failed to be elected to Parliament. He was re-elected in [[1977]] as member of the small "Party of New Liberals" and in [[1978]] he joined [[Constantine Karamanlis]]' [[New Democracy]] party. He served as minister for economic coordination from [[1978]] to [[1980]], and as minister for foreign affairs from [[1980]] to [[1981]]. <br />
<br />
The ND government was defeated by [[Andreas Papandreou]]'s [[PASOK]] in [[1981]], and in [[1984]] Mitsotakis succeeded [[Evangelos Averoff-Tossizza]] as ND leader. He and Andreas Papandreou, the son of George Papandreou, dominated Greek politics for the next decade: their mutual dislike dated back to the fall of George Papandreou's government in [[1965]]. Papandreou, embroiled in the [[Bank of Crete]] scandal, lost his parliamentary majority in the elections of June 1989, but despite ND's clear placement as a first party, Mitsotakis was unable to form a government. The reason was that in a controversial move, Papandreou's government had modified the election system a few months earlier, so that no one-party government could be formed unless the first party gathered 50% of the vote. After a period of parliamentary deadlock, fresh elections in April [[1990]] produced a narrow ND parliamentary majority, and Mitsotakis became Prime Minister. Therefore, despite having won one of the most decisive victories in Greek modern political history, his government's parliamentary support was however fragile, depending on a single parliament member.<br />
<br />
Mitsotakis's government moved swiftly to cut government spending, privatise state enterprises and reform the civil service. In foreign policy, Mitsotakis moved to reopen talks on [[United States]] bases in Greece and to restore confidence among Greece's economic and political partners. In June [[1990]], Mitsotakis became the first Greek premier to visit the United States in 26 years. He promised to meet Greece's [[NATO]] obligations, to prevent use of Greece as a base for terrorism, and to stop the rhetorical attacks on the United States that had been Papandreou's hallmark. Mitsotakis also supported a new dialogue with [[Turkey]], but made progress on [[Cyprus]] a prerequisite for improvement on other issues. <br />
<br />
Papandreou, cleared of charges arising from the Bank of Crete scandal in a 4-3 vote at the Eidiko Dikastirio (a special jury that is particularly set up in Greece in cases of charged politicians), criticised Mitsotakis's government for its economic policies, for not taking a sufficiently Greek nationalist position over [[Macedonia]] and Cyprus and for being too pro-American. The heightened nationalism over the Macedonia issue with the neighbouring former [[Yugoslav]] Republic of Macedonia caused several ND parliament members, led by [[Antonis Samaras]], to withdraw their support from Mitsotakis' government and form a new political party, Politiki Anoiksi. Mitsotakis' government had already restored the election system back to its original form, which allowed Papandreou's PASOK to obtain clear parliamentary majority after winning the premature [[1993]] elections and return to office. Mitsotakis then resigned as ND leader, although he remained the party's honorary chairman.<br />
<br />
In January [[2004]] Mitsotakis announced that he would retire from Parliament at the [[March 7]] elections, 56 years after his first election. His son, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, is an ND Member of Parliament and his daughter, [[Dora Bakoyianni]], is the mayor of [[Athens]] and seen as a future party leader. Mitsotakis's main interest outside politics is Cretan antiquities. He developed a large collection of [[Minoan civilization|Minoan]] and other Cretan antiquities, which he has now donated to the Greek state.<br />
