Parliamentary elections were held in Greece on 2 June 1985. The governing political party, PASOK of Andreas Papandreou, was re-elected, defeating the liberal conservative New Democracy party of Konstantinos Mitsotakis.
The election campaign was dominated by the ongoing constitutional crisis initiated by Papandreou in March 1985 to advance his preferred candidate, Christos Sartzetakis, for the president of Greece. At the same time, he proposed constitutional revisions to remove the presidential powers that were acting as checks and balances on Papandreou's position. The presidential vote took place amid intense political tension and accusations of constitutional violations, ending with Sartzetakis becoming president. Mitsotakis, as leader of the opposition, denounced the presidential election as illegal and vowed to remove Sartzetakis if his party won, deepening the constitutional crisis.
The confrontation at the presidential election carried over to the parliamentary election campaigns, which polarized Greek society. On one side, Papandreou invoked memories of the Greek Civil War (1946–1949) and Junta (1967–1974), associating New Democracy with the authoritarian Right of the past, while on the other side, Mitsotakis warned the public of Papandreou's totalitarian designs. However, Sartzetakis' election ultimately benefited Papandreou and his party, securing victory in the general elections by consolidating support from the Left, even as they lost ground in the Center amid Greece's worsening economy under his leadership.
After the election, all political parties accepted Sartzetakis as president, ending the constitutional crisis, despite a later court ruling designating the election of Sartzetakis as unconstitutional. The constitutional amendments that came into effect in 1986 substantially strengthened Papandreou's executive authority. However, the monopoly of power and dominance of Papandreou caused strategic reevaluation and alignment in the New Democracy and communist parties, Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and KKE-Interior, leading to Papandreou losing the premiership in 1989.Kapetanyannis 1993 89–91
Background on the constitutional crisis
1985 Greek constitutional crisis
Economic policies of Andreas Papandreou
In 1985, Papandreou provoked a constitutional crisis by denying Konstantinos Karamanlis a second presidential term and supporting Supreme Court justice Christos Sartzetakis instead.Featherstone Papadimitriou 2015 87 His choice sparked further controversy, as it was tied to proposals of constitutional reforms aimed at increasing the power of his position by weakening the presidential powers, which had served as checks and balances on the executive branch led by the prime minister.Featherstone 2012 183Katsoudas 1987 28Clogg 1985 105–110 The election of the new president took place in March 1985 under a tense and confrontational atmosphere due to Papandreou's dubious constitutional procedures.Clogg 1985 109 The leader of the opposition, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, denounced the vote as illegal and vowed that if New Democracy won the elections, Sartzetakis would not be president by bringing the legality of the process to the Council of State (el Συμβούλιο Επικρατείας), further deepening the constitutional crisis.Clogg 1985 110–111Kalyvas 1997 97
Scholars argued that the crisis was motivated by Papandreou's desire to divert the Greek electorate's attention away from the worsening state of the Greek economy (unemployment increased under PASOK from 2.7% in 1980 to 7.8% in 1985,IMF, Greece's unemployment annual inflation of the order of 20%,IMF, Greece's inflation rate and widening trade deficits).Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 164–166Featherstone 1990b 108 According to a public opinion survey by Eurobarometer, the number of Greeks who believed that the economic situation worsened increased from 37.7% in 1983 to 70.2% in 1985, while those who believed that it improved fell from 31.5% to 12.8% in the same period.Pappas 2014 32
Election campaigns

Both parties continued their confrontations over the constitutional crisis in their election campaigns, where the political polarization reached new heights. Mitsotakis declared, "In voting, the Greek people will also be voting for a president"Clogg 1985 110 and also warned that there is a danger of sliding towards an authoritarian one-party state.Clogg 2013 194 The president's office responded, "The president of the republic will remain the vigilant guardian of the constitution."Clogg 1987 115 From PASOK, Agamemnon Koutsogiorgas described what was at stake not as "oranges and tomatoes but the confrontation between two worlds."Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 166 Papandreou followed this by characterizing the upcoming elections as a fight between light and darkness in his rallies, implying that PASOK represented the "forces of light" since its logo was a rising sun.Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 166 Papandreou further argued that every vote against PASOK was a vote for the return of the Right, associating the Right of the mid-1980s with the authoritarian and pro-monarchy elements of the Right in the pre-1974 era, with the slogan "Vote PASOK to prevent a return of the Right."Clogg 1987 108 The communists, persecuted by the Right in the 1950s, protested against Papandreou's dwelling on the past, pointing out that the 1980s were not the same as the 1950s.Clogg 1987 108 The Economist magazine described Greece as a "country divided," tearing itself apart and opening the wounds of the Greek Civil War.Close 2004 267
Two days before the 2 June elections,Dimitras 1985 Karamanlis broke his silence and urged Greeks to be cautious in their voting (without explicitly advising whom to vote for), commenting that PASOK had brought "confusion and uncertainty."Clogg 1985 111 However, Karamanlis' statement was not broadcast on TV and radio, which were controlled by the governing party, i.e., PASOK.Clogg 1985 111
Electoral system
Since the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic, Greece conducted parliamentary elections under successive iterations of a system known as "reinforced proportional representation", which was engineered to produce stable single-party majorities in the 300-seat Hellenic Parliament. The framework distributed parliamentary seats through a multi-tiered mechanism involving primary constituency rounds and subsequent distributions. In the initial round, seats were assigned locally using an electoral quota, leaving unallocated residual seats. Access to these remaining seats in higher-tier distributions was restricted to political parties that exceeded national vote thresholds, disproportionately reallocating unassigned seats to the leading party. This multi-step mechanism was modified in February 1985 ahead of the 1985 elections through Law 1516/1985. The law, while it removed the vote thresholds, recalibrated the distribution of seats to favor the leading party at the expense of the second and provide a minor boost to third parties.Dimitras 1985 261Featherstone 1987 38–42
Results
In the event, PASOK was re-elected with 45.82% of the vote, losing approximately 2.3% from 1981, while New Democracy increased its share of the vote by 4.98% to 40.84%.Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 166–167 Papandreou's gamble worked to his benefit because he gained from far-left voting blocs covering the losses from the centrist voters, and appealed to socialist voters who rejected Karamanlis' perceived hindrance of PASOK's policies.Clogg 1985 111–112McDonald 1985 134Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 167
Papandreou had the upper hand over Mitsotakis because he argued that a vote for Mitsotakis was a vote for a constitutional anomaly,Clogg 1987 116 convincing a significant fraction of Greek voters.McDonald 1985 134Clogg 1987 116 Historian Richard Clogg argued that the large-scale rally by Mitsotakis on the Thursday prior to the 2 June election at Syntagma Square may have panicked communists into voting for PASOK; the communist parties lost a significant share of the vote.Clogg 1987 113

Aftermath
After the election results, Mitsotakis accepted Sartzetakis as president and the head of state.Clogg 1985 112
However, the Athens One-Member Magistrates' Court ruled that the President's election had been "irregular" and "amounted to an abrogation of popular sovereignty"."[...] κατάργηση στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση του Εκλογικού Σώματος ως οργάνου εξουσίας και κατάλυση στην πράξη της αρχής της λαϊκής κυριαρχίας."Magistrate's Court ruling 563–574 The court further held that the subsequent political legitimacy conferred by PASOK's victory in the 1985 election did not negate the unconstitutional nature of the original act."[...] ανεξάρτητα του ζητήματος της θεμελίωσης της νομιμοποιήσεως της εξουσίας του Προέδρου της Δημοκρατίας στη κανονιστική δύναμη των πραγμάτων που ρύθμισαν οι εκλογές και της αναγνωρίσεως του αποτελέσματος της ρυθμίσεως".Magistrate's Court ruling 574 Constitutional scholar Christos Papastylianos called the latter an example that displays the limits of judicial jurisdiction in Greece; the courts can deem an action as unconstitutional but are unable to prevent it.Papastylianos 2023 25 Papandreou's constitutional proposals took effect in 1986.Greek Constitution 1986
PASOK government and austerity
After the election victory, Papandreou's government applied to the EEC for a $1.75 billion loan to deal with the widening foreign trade deficit (8.7% of GDP).Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 167Liakos Doumanis 2023 332 However, the EEC imposed austerity measures as a precondition for the loan. The stabilization package was implemented by Costas Simitis as Minister of Finance.Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 167Jouganatos 1992 144 Papandreou touted the loan as a lifeline for the economy of Greece because if they had not, then the International Monetary Fund (IMF) would have imposed more severe austerity measures.Siani-Davies 2017 35 Simitis' policies had the intended outcome, with the inflation reduced from 23% in 1986 to 13.5% in 1988,IMF, Greece's inflation rate and the Public Sector Borrowing Requirement fell from approximately 18% of GDP in 1985 to 13% of GDP in 1987. However, Papandreou was shaken by a widespread backlash, with long-running strikes and demonstrations by farmers and major unions in early 1987.Close 2014 158 With the 1989 elections approaching, Papandreou forced Simitis to resign from his ministerial position in November 1987, and the reforms were abandoned, returning to populist policies.Featherstone Papadimitriou 2015 142Matsaganis 1999 9Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 167 Greece started to fall behind in terms of convergence with EEC goals, economic competitiveness, dependence on EEC and state subsidies, investment, inflation, and growth.Liakos Doumanis 2023 332
New Democracy leadership speculations and fracture
Despite New Democracy's increased share of the vote, PASOK's 5% lead, combined with concerns over the party’s two consecutive electoral defeats (in 1981 under Georgios Rallis and in 1985 under Mitsotakis), sparked doubts among New Democracy's old guard about Mitsotakis's future as party leader. Facing internal dissent, Mitsotakis resigned in 1985 but later stood unopposed for re-election at the party congress, winning the backing of 82 of New Democracy's 126 deputies, 11 more than in 1984.Clogg 1987 169 His former rival for the leadership, Konstantinos Stephanopoulos, abstained from the vote and subsequently left New Democracy to establish a new political party, Democratic Renewal, taking nine MPs with him. Stephanopoulos criticized the ND leadership for its weak campaign performance in 1985 and for appearing to prioritize the interests of employers over those of workers.Clogg 1987 169
Unholy alliance
Papandreou's electoral dominance frustrated the communist parties, which suffered a decline in their share of the vote.Kapetanyannis 1993 85 According to political scientist Vasilis Kapetanyannis, there was growing resentment towards PASOK for its authoritarian practices and monopoly of power, while at the same time, it utilized the Left's ideology and voting power.Kapetanyannis 1993 87, 89 In the local elections of October 1986 el Ελληνικές_αυτοδιοικητικές_εκλογές_1986, KKE party chose not to support candidates of PASOK in the three major municipalities (Athens, Piraeus, and Thessaloniki), which provided an opportunity for ND to obtain a new power basis to challenge PASOK.Kapetanyannis 1993 85–86 This alignment was both novel and unexpected within Greek society, given not only the parties' conflicting ideologies but also their positions on opposing sides of the Civil War.Clogg 2013 197–198 PASOK described this unannounced collaboration as "unholy alliance."Kapetanyannis 1993 86
The alignment between conservatives and communists against Papandreou strengthened as a series of growing corruption scandals, most notably the Koskotas and the Yugoslav corn affairs, began to engulf Papandreou's second administration. These scandals ultimately culminated in the "katharsis" after the June 1989 elections, when the two groups formed a coalition government with a limited mandate to investigate PASOK's corruption, which led to the indictment of Papandreou over the Koskotas scandal.Koliopoulos Veremis 2009 170
