Earliest political memory #155
a) Constantine II of Greece and Anne-Marie’s engagement. I’m standing in the crowd in Syggrou Avenue, waving a small flag. I’m in love. b) The telephone rings really early in the morning, on the eve of April 22nd[1]. Jokingly, my father asks the person who called “Who is with you?”
α) Οι αρραβώνες του Κων/νου και της Άννα-Μαρίας. Εγώ στο κοινό που κούναγε σημαιάκι στην αρχή της Συγγρού. Ερωτευμένος. β) Τηλέφωνο πρωί πρωί (22 Απριλίου). Ο πατέρας μου, αστειευόμενος, προς αυτόν που πήρε τηλέφωνο: «με ποιον είσαι;»
