Miltiadis Evert

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

He was the son of 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.

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.

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.
