In 1967, the dominant means of governmental propaganda in Greece are radio and cinema, with the Newsreels - the ten-minute 'illustrated marches' that are screened mandatorily every week in all the theaters of the country.
Their study for the period 1967-1974 shows the image that the Junta regime stages for itself, but also something more significant - how drastically the face of Greece changes during these years.
It is not only the abolition of laws and the establishment of uncontrolled construction, or the images from the camps, the glorifications, the anniversaries of the 'communist banditry' defeat; nor the images from entertainments, the events with fashion and hairdressing shows, beaches, holidays, the summer resorts that 'relax the person' and operate in 'the service of those who have never gotten tired.'
Greece after 1969 acquires a new social layer - that of the nouveau riche, who seeks above all their enjoyment, providing confirming arguments to the authoritarian regime.
It is the mentality expressed with the slogan 'Let’s have a good time', which is established during the Junta but survives after its fall, throughout the duration of the so-called Metapolitefsi.
