Τhe Telegram of Eleftherios Venizelos for the transfer of Achilleas Kaleuras at Xanthi

Almost a month after the liberation of the city on 4 October 1919, Eleftherios Venizelos asked for the immediate transfer of Achilleas Kaleuras, prefect of Larissa, to take over the administration of his hometown Xanthi. Born in 1882, with studies in law and political science, Achilleas Kaleuras had already been positioned in administrative seats throughout Northern Greece. A prolific journalist, with dozens of articles in newspapers, he directed the newspaper “Macedonia” and played a catalytic role in the establishment of the International Exhibition of Thessaloniki. He died in 1972, leaving behind a large literary and political work.
