Georgios Andreas Papandreou (Greek:Γεώργιος Ανδρέας ΠαπανδρέουGreek pronunciation:[ʝe'orʝios papanˈðreu]; born 16 June 1952), commonly anglicised to George and shortened to Giorgos (Γιώργος[ˈʝorɣos]) in Greek, is a Greek politician who served as Prime Minister of Greece from 2009 to 2011.
On 6 October 2009, George Papandreou became the 182nd Prime Minister of Greece. He was the third member of the Papandreou family to serve as the country's prime minister, following his father Andreas and his grandfather Georgios Papandreou. He resigned on 11 November 2011 during the Greek government debt crisis to make way for a national unity government.
He was born at Kalentzi, in Achaea in West Greece. He was the son of Father Andreas Papandreou, an Orthodox archpriest (protopresvyteros). He studied law in Athens and political science in Berlin. His political philosophy was heavily influenced by German social democracy. As a result, he was adamantly opposed to the monarchy and supported generous social policies, but he was also extremely anti-communist (and specifically against the KKE's policies in Greece). As a young man, he became involved in politics as a supporter of the Liberal leader Eleftherios Venizelos, who made him governor of Chios after the Balkan War of 1912. He married twice. His first wife was Sofia Mineyko, a Polish national, daughter of Zygmunt Mineyko and paternal granddaughter of Stanislaw Mineyko (1802 - 1857). Their son Andreas Papandreou was born in Chios in 1919. The second wife was the actress Cybele Andrianou and their son was named George Papandreou.
