Kolettis, Ioannis

Japanese: コレッティス（英語表記）Kolettis, Ioannis

Born: 1774. Syracuse
[Died] 1847
Greek politician. He studied medicine in Italy and became the personal physician to Ali Pasha's son. In 1819, he joined the Filiki Etheria. He served as a plenipotentiary at the first National Assembly in 1822, and played a leading role in politics and the military during the War of Independence. During Oson's regency, he was Minister of War and Navy and Ambassador to France (1840-43). After the September 1843 coup, he returned to Greece and worked hard to establish a constitution. However, when he became Prime Minister (1844-47), he essentially abolished the constitution and seized power. In foreign affairs, he implemented policies based on the "Megari Idea" (an ideology that sought to restore the ancestral territories centered on Constantinople). His anti-Ottoman stance won him popularity among the people, but his dictatorial attitude at home led to widespread election manipulation, favoritism, and bribery, which contributed to political corruption.

ギリシアの政治家。イタリアで医学を学び，アリー・パシャの息子の主治医となる。1819年にフィリキ・エテリアに入会。1822年の初の国民会議で全権委員を務め，独立戦争時には政治，軍事面で指導的役割を果たす。オソンの摂政政治期には陸海軍大臣，在フランス大使（1840～43）となる。1843年9月のクーデター後帰国し，憲法制定に力を尽くす。しかし首相（1844～47）となると事実上憲法を廃止して権力を掌握し，対外的には「メガリ・イデア」（コンスタンチノープルを中心とする祖先の領土回復を目指す思想）を基軸とする政策を展開し，その反オスマン的姿勢は国民の人気をかちとったが，国内における独裁的態度は，選挙操作，支持者びいき，収賄を横行させ，政治腐敗の一因となった。
