Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK)

The Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) is a political party in Greece founded in 1974 by Andreas Papandreou. It is rooted in social democratic principles, advocating for social justice, welfare, and economic development. PASOK played a major role in Greece’s transition to democracy after the military dictatorship and was a dominant force in Greek politics for several decades. Its policies focus on public healthcare, education, and labor rights, aiming to balance economic growth with social equity. Over time, PASOK has faced political challenges and decline but remains an important part of Greece’s political history and landscape.
