Socialists win big in Greece election
Athens reports massive crowds celebrating Andreas Papandreou's Socialists after votes show the party leading with 46 percent. The result signals a mandate to withdraw from NATO and the EEC and poses questions on U.S. bases in Greece and Cyprus policy. George Papandreou, Margaret Papandreou, and anti‑right forces feature among key names.
Papandreou rides defiant path to Greek re election
Greek Premier Andreas Papandreou, American citizen for 20 years, wins a second four year term on a platform of less dependence on the United States and more socialism. He defied NATO and the European Community in his first term while portraying himself as a maverick who supports Western alliance on key questions. He urged calm relations with the US and Europe while promising unchanged positions on fundamental issues. Opponents accuse him of demagogy, but Greek voters elected him to lead regardless.
