Miltiadis Evert (from the German "Ewert") (Greek: Μιλτιάδης Έβερτ; 12 May 1939 – 9 February 2011) was a Greek politician, a member of Parliament, government minister, and ex-chairman of the New Democracy party.

Origins

Evert was born in Athens, Greece. He was the son Angelos Evert, chief of police in Athens during the Nazi occupation of Greece in World War II and credited for saving many Jews and resistance fighters from Gestapo persecution. The Ewert family is of Bavarian origin, one of the families that settled in Athens during the reign of King Otto in the early 19th century.

Early life

Evert studied at the Athens School of Economics and Business.

Political career

Evert served as the Mayor of Athens from 1 January 1987 to 14 May 1989, and he was chairman of New Democracy from 1993 to 1997. He also served many times as minister.

As mayor of Athens in 1987, Evert was the first to exercise the legal possibility of opposition radio broadcasting in Greece since all radio stations (including television networks) were a state monopoly. He helped launch Athena 98.4 FM, the first private radio station to begin broadcasting legally in Greece.

Personal life

He was married to photographer Lisa Vanderpool, daughter of American archaeologist Eugene Vanderpool, and they had two daughters.

On 9 February 2011 Evert died in Athens at the age of 71.[1]

gollark: Hmm, it seems to be cut off in the picture, but there's a "107" in the corner.

gollark: Apparently I have 107 tabs open now. I should really do something about this.

gollark: I mean, IIRC they've also at times somehow dumped people into "transporter buffer" storage.

gollark: We definitely, at least, live in a time you could consider more *interesting* than previous ones.

gollark: It's not like they can make a news article titled "Many Things Are Gradually Improving!"
