Poios kyverna eis afton ton topon?

Poios kyverna eis afton ton topon? Both Constantine Karamanlis and Georgios Papandreou uttered the same sentence during the turbulent sixties in Greece: "Who governs this country? " They referred to the complete disregard of Constitutional norms, by the 25 year old then, ex-King Constantine II, the capricious selections and firings of Prime Ministers, leading to political instability, that was a contributing factor in the imposition of the dictatorship in 1967, along with "the unrelenting struggle" of George Papandreou, that polarized the country and Andreas Papandreou "revolutionary rhetoric." Political expression today in Greece, though robust by European standards, is nothing like it was back then. When every day there were demonstrations, counter demonstrations and clashes with the police. The Greeks learn from past experience and learn well. Such are the valuable lessons of history.
