Adonis Georgiadis

On 11 November 2011, Georgiadis was appointed Deputy Minister for Development, Competitiveness and Shipping in the coalition government of Lucas Papademos.

He resigned the position on 11 February 2012, amidst a row with party leader Georgios Karatzaferis over the latter's opposition to the Second Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece.

Until his expulsion from LAOS, Georgiadis often appeared on TeleAsty [el], a television channel founded and run by party leader Georgios Karatzaferis.

In 1994, Georgiadis founded an organization of the same name to promote the teaching of the language and civilization of ancient Greece to children and adults.

Moreover, according to Kostopoulos, Georgiadis added some characters to the English original, including Bartholomew, a Jewish advisor to the Sultan Mehmet.

[citation needed] Once appointed Deputy Minister for Development, Competitiveness and Shipping he changed the signs at his ministry to conform to the polytonic system.

He also routinely condemned the policies of the two former leading Greek parties, New Democracy and the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, which he viewed as two sides of the same coin.

It wants to destroy every notion of a national tradition and a national memory so as to transform the totality of the population of our planet into simple customers of multi-national corporations and into complacent subjects of the world-ruling Superpower.He often states that the destruction of the Greek economy and Greek society began in 1981 with the election of Andreas Papandreou as PM and the party of PASOK.

[21] Georgiadis is in favour of putting an end to Greece's "eternal students", people who have been enrolled at university for years without graduating.

[22] He has been criticised, among other things, because of his past with the Popular Orthodox Rally party, for a series of far-right positions that he has formulated,[23] but also for the closure of five hospitals in Athens and Thessaloniki during his tenure as Minister for Health.

[29] In October 2015, when he was a candidate for New Democracy, he described the engagement with the Plevris Book of the Jews as "the biggest mistake of my political career to date," but he said he never was an anti-Semite.

A few days earlier he came under intense criticism after it was revealed that the healing effects supposedly provided by the nanotechnological jackets that he was promoting were in fact void and based on pseudoscience.

Fellow telemarketer Makis Triandafillopoulos had been previously convicted of fraud for selling exactly the same model of nano jackets following an investigation by the Greek consumer protection agency.

[38][39] On February 1, 2021, Georgiadis mocked the move of the restaurant businessmen to hand over the keys of their shops to the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis who with one of the most extreme quarantines for COVID-19 in the world has banned the operation of these businesses for months.

More specifically, Georgiadis told SKAI TV that any restaurant businessman can hand over the keys and his own business to him in order to operate it.
