Political career

A leading cadre of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, Loverdos was first elected to the Hellenic Parliament in the 2000 legislative election.[1] From 23 January 2002 until 10 March 2004 he served as Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs.[1]

In October 2009, Loverdos was appointed Minister for Labour and Social Security.[2] In September 2010, he was appointed Minister for Health and Social Solidarity.[2] In this capacity, he launched a harsh reform of the pension system during Greece’s first bailout programme.[3] He held this post until 17 May 2012, when the coalition government of Lucas Papademos was replaced by the caretaker government of Panagiotis Pikrammenos.

On 3 December 2012, Loverdos announced the launch of a new political movement, the Radical Movement of Social Democratic Alliance (RIKSSY), and was subsequently expelled from the PASOK parliamentary group. A new political party, the Agreement for the New Greece, was formed by Loverdos and other members of RIKSSY on 15 April 2013. Loverdos returned to the government as Minister for Education and Religious Affairs on 10 June 2014,[4] and to the PASOK parliamentary group on 22 August 2014.[5] In this role, he was given a brief to complete an overhaul of university administration and dismiss thousands of “perpetual students” who failed to meet the 10-year deadline for obtaining a first degree.[6]

In January 2021, Loverdos was removed as the parliamentary leader of Movement for Change.[7] In July 5 2023 Loverdos left the Movement for Change. In an official statement he said that he left for political reasons and that he wishes the party good luck in its fight.
