Editing PASOK (section)

=== Foundation ===
The first members of the party were the main organizers of the collapse of the [[Greek junta]] and the re-establishment of democracy on 3 September 1974. Its founder was [[Andreas Papandreou]], son of the late Greek liberal leader and three-time [[Prime Minister of Greece]] [[Georgios Papandreou|Georgios Papandreou Sr]], and its co-founder trade unionist [[Georgios Daskalakis]]. Its founding mottos were "National Independence, Popular Sovereignty, Social Emancipation, Democratic Process." Andreas Papandreou was offered the leadership of the liberal political forces - what evolved into [[Centre Union – New Forces]] - immediately after the restoration of democracy, but in a risky move he declined, so the leadership was assumed by [[Georgios Mavros]]. Papandreou, a powerful orator and [[Charismatic authority|charismatic leader]], explicitly rejected the [[Venizelism|Venizelist]] ideological heritage of his father, and stressed the fact that he was a socialist, not a liberal.
