Eleftherios Venizelos Passes Away

Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos, leader of the Venezelists and a revered titan of Greek politics, has passed away peacefully in his home. Venizelos was a passionate contributor to the Greek multi-party system and a figure who was perhaps unrivaled in how much he influenced the Greek national conciousness. How can words alone do justice to the man who gave so much of himself to his country and his countrymen? He is the architect of the nation we have the privilege of serving today, and the enduring legacy he leaves behind will outlast us all. The only blackspot on Venizelos' immaculate record is the terrible loss our nation suffered after the devastating Greco-Turkish War of 1919. It is a blemish on an otherwise perfect legacy that we fully intend to avenge ourselves upon. Eleftherios Venizelos was a revolutionary, a statesman, and a political pioneer; he was our Ethnarch, and we shall remember him as the uncompromising lionheart that he was. Themistoklis Sofoulis has taken over as Prime Minister and the leader of Fileleftheron, and has declared a national day of mourning for the recently deceased father of modern Greece.
