On 21 April, 1967, the tanks rolled into Athens and the colonels took charge of Greece

21 April 2021 10:36am It was 54 years ago today that a group of far-right Greek army colonels led a coup d’etat just weeks before elections that were predicted to give the victory to Georgios Papandreou’s Centre Union a party that leaned to the left. The coup was the culmination of years of political upheaval between the right and left – a legacy of the Greek civil war of 1946 to 1949. Papandreou had won the election of 1964. Matters came to a head when he tried to dismiss officers belonging to the secret right wing organisation IDEA  (Ieros Desmos Ellinon Axiomatikon-Holy Bond of Greek Officers). The newly crowned King Constantine II blocked the move on IDEA and then used his powers to dismiss Papandreou’s government in 1965.
