A love story between leader of Greece’s ruling party Andreas Papandreou, 69, and beautiful woman Dimitra Liani, 34, a stewardess, was particularly scandalous. The girl was known by the name of Mimi among ordinary people and almost all Greeks could see her splendid nude figure on front pages of newspapers and magazines. The unofficial first lady of the country told journalists that those pictures were taken when she spent vacations with her friends on a beach, she just joined other girls when they took off their bras.  

Dimitra met Papandreou in a plane when she served a diplomatic flight. Soon they spent most part of the time together. The aging leader of the government was so much charmed with the blond that he ignored all proprieties. He attended diplomatic receptions and parties together with the mistress. Dimitra's appearance at a meeting of European leaders held on one of the Greek islands was particularly scandalous. That was a strictly official event where even wives of European presidents were not invited. When Papandreou and Dimitra entered the hall silence reigned among the politicians. The girl looked especially extravagant in her bright yellow décolleté against the background of official black suits. The lovers would not part for a second. 
 
Meanwhile, Greece was in for a governmental election. Andreas Papandreou realized he had little chance to win the election. Even his wife threatened she would set up another opposition party. It happened even so that the leader missed official meetings for yachting and having dinners with the mistress. Unfortunately, the lovelace's heart was weak for this passion, and the Greek leader was taken to hospital. In London, the politician was operated on because of aorta constriction. The lovers demanded a soundproof ward, otherwise the politician would not undergo medical treatment. Dimitra got a ring with three large diamonds as a present for the devotion and care during Papandreou's illness. Soon, a scandal on embezzlement of governmental property was added to the politician’s love scandal. That meant an end to Papandreou's political career.
