Andonis Samara's cabinet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andonis Samaras, 2012

The Samaras cabinet formed the government of Greece from June 21, 2012 to January 26, 2015 under Andonis Samaras of the Nea Dimokratia . After the parliamentary elections on June 17, the Pikrammenos cabinet followed . After the failed attempts after the May 6, 2012 election to form a government with a majority, it had been in office as a transitional government since May 17, 2012.

Reign

The government was initially supported by a coalition of the conservative Nea Dimokratia (ND) with the social democratic PASOK and the left- wing democratic DIMAR , it had a clear majority of 179 of the 300 parliamentary seats. There were no politicians from either left party in the cabinet.

Since Vasilis Rapanos, who was originally appointed Minister of Finance, was unable to take up office after a fit of weakness for health reasons, Giorgos Zanias from the previous government ran the business until Giannis Stournaras was appointed on July 5, 2012.

A cabinet reshuffle occurred in June 2013 because the Nea Dimokratia decided to close the state radio and television company ERT without consulting its coalition partners PASOK and DIMAR . On June 21, 2013, Fotis Kouvelis ' DIMAR party , the smallest of the three Greek governing parties, announced its withdrawal from the coalition. Ministers Manitakis and Roupakiotis, who were sent to the cabinet by DIMAR, announced their resignation after DIMAR left the coalition. As a result, the new government coalition from New Democracy led by Prime Minister Samaras and the Evangelos Venizelos led PASOK only had a majority of 153 of the 300 seats in parliament. On June 24, 2013, Samaras and Venizelos agreed on a new coalition. Venizelos became Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.

Another cabinet reshuffle was carried out on June 10, 2014 after losing votes in the 2014 European elections . After the previous Defense Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos took over the post of Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship in the Juncker cabinet of the European Commission on November 1, 2014 , Nikos Dendias became his successor. Dendias had previously been "Minister for Public Order and Citizen Protection" and then (since June 25, 2013) "Minister for Development and Competitiveness".
