Use as a political motto

1-1-4, referencing article 114 of the 1952 Constitution, was a political motto of the 1960s, used by United Democratic Left and Centre Union youth wings against Constantine Karamanlis's National Radical Union after the 1961 Greek legislative election, widely considered to have been rigged, and later on by PAK against the Regime of the Colonels. It has fallen out of use following Metapolitefsi.
