Giorgos Gennimatas

Last weekend was the 26th anniversary of the death of Giorgos Gennimatas, the late minister who introduced the National Health System (ESY), a groundbreaking development in this country.

Former minister Fofi Gennimata was elected as socialist PASOK?s new leader on Sunday. Gennimata was one of three candidates in the election which saw some 50,000 party members casting their ballots across Greece.

Up to 70,000 PASOK supporters are expect to vote Sunday in the party?s leadership race, which is being contested by three candidates.
