Death of Mikroutsikos added.
Thanos Mikroutsikos has also been involved in [[Greece]]'s political life since the [[1960s|60's]]. During the turbulent years of the military [[junta]] (1967-1974), he was persecuted by the [[George Papadopoulos|regime]] for his anti-dictatorial activities and ideas. When the junta collapsed he continued being actively involved in politics, especially in the first years after the restoration of democracy.
After the elections of October 1993 he was appointed by the [[Panhellenic Socialist Movement]] (PASOK) which formed the new government, as Alternate-Minister of Culture with late [[Melina Mercouri]] as minister. In 1994 after the death of the latter he was appointed minister of culture. He remained at this position until 1996. His brother is the popular TV host and musician [[Andreas Mikroutsikos]].
Mikroutsikos died on [[December 28]], [[2019]].
