Answer

The legacy of Georgios Papadopoulos remains controversial even after his death. He was a key figure in the military junta that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974, a period marked by authoritarianism, human rights violations, and economic turmoil. Despite efforts by some to rehabilitate his image, the negative perception of his rule persists. The dictatorship's suppression of civil liberties and democratic values overshadows any positive aspects of his tenure.
