Your sincere condolences to the family of Vassos Papandreou, who passed away says Athens Mayor Haris Doukas in a statement.
“Vasso Papandreou, founding member of PASOK, graced the Greek parliament for several years. He served the Greek people in leading ministerial positions, contributing significantly to the completion of all major public projects,” emphasizes Mr. Doukas.
As he notes, “the special love of the people was reflected in the record number of crosses that were registered in the Athens II constituency”.
“She represented our country in European institutions, as the first female commissioner. She promoted the “European Social Charter” and the international press recognized her work, calling her the “Caryatid of Democracy”. She leaves a void that cannot be completed”, he adds in his statement.
