AbstractThe dictatorship that ruled Greece between 1967–74 had lasting consequences on the country's political culture. From World War II and the Greek civil war until the dictatorship's collapse, pro-Western, anti-communist, pro-business, socially traditional values had dominated public opinion. The dramatic fall of the dictatorship amidst a ‘national tragedy’ made it a scapegoat and made what it stood for very unpopular especially among the younger generation. So, when the latter came of age, it contributed to the emergence of a new set of values that were anti-rights, anti-Western, anti-business, anti-traditionalist and even historically revisionist, and were majoritrian in the 1980s. These values have been so strongly entrenched that neither the Panhellenic Socialist Movement's (PASOK's) poor record in power, nor the indictment of some of its leaders for serious scandals in 1989, nor even the emergence, under PASOK rule, of a new more moderate generation, have helped the right to regain the absolute majority of the votes so to govern the country, although it has led to a partial moderation of the radical ‘junta generation’.
