Panos Kammenos

«I trust the Greek justice, which recently decided that there is no involvement of the businessman in any drugs cases and more specifically in the transport of three tones of cocaine with Noor One»

It is a dishonour for any politician to invoke a law that protects ministers from prosecution by requiring that Parliament lift his or her parliamentary immunity.

The tight embrace of the two coalition partners in the September, 2015 general election signaled more than just a reaffirmation of the Prime Minister’s trust in his junior coalition partner.

Kammenos today expelled Papachristopopulos, effectively dissolving his parliamentary group, and reported that in a letter to Parliament Speaker Nikos Voutsis.

'The sooner the general election is held the better, so that this degenerate situation which does not benefit the country and harms Greeks can end,' said ND's spokesperson

Tsipras scraps parliamentary rules change following charges from the opposition and the press that he is being blackmailed by his ex-junior coalition partner.

Because in our peculiar country there is an underlying current of political instability, it would be best to come to a radical and clear solution now.

The change directly affects the government’s former junior coalition partner, Independent Greeks leader PanosKammenos, who is about to lose his fifth MP.

Kammenos saw the shift to conservatism triggered by the backlash on the Macedonia naming issue and counted on a political rebirth.

The agreement was approved by majority, with the key votes of To Potami VP Yorgos Mavrotas and former To Potami MP Spiros Danellis.

Opposition parties are up in arms over the agreement and the allegedly nefarious backroom deals to forge an absolute parliamentary majority for ratification.

When asked, “Do you believe that the withdrawal of the Independent Greeks from the government was a move pre-arranged by Tsipras and Kammenos or not?” 68.3 percent responded that it was pre-arranged.

Tsipras stressed that he is the prime minister that led the country out of the bailout memorandum era while tending to the needs of those in lower income brackets,

Mitsotakis said the agreement was that Tsipras keeps his parliamentary majority and Kammenos would retain the five MPs needed to remain a parliamentary party.

Kammenos is now trying to lure independent MPs who have left or have been expelled from other parties

Greece will continue to be ruled by a government that sacrifices the political stability that the country sorely needs in order to stay in power at all costs.

Kammenos has been replaced by Admiral Evangelos Apostolakis, until now Greece’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

At the moment politics is being channeled towards gamblers’ practices and the system of government is slipping into an anomalous situation, comparable to the one that prevailed in the mid-1960s.

Political uncertainty predominates, resulting in the entrapment of and threat to the economy, as Mr. Tsipras would concede.

PM Alexis Tsipras, beyond his 145 MPs, has secured the approval of six MPs from smaller parties to ratify the accord.

It would be a grave error if the PM were to attempt to stay in power by bending to the dictates of his partner or by seeking the scatterred votes of MPs.

Alexis Tsipras made clear that Defence Minister Panos Kammenos’ stance on the Greece-FYROM Prespa Agreement poses a problem for the government’s parliamentary majority.

Tsipras said that if necessary he will seek the confidence vote before he tables for ratification the Greece-FYROM accord.

Mitsotakis said Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA will destroy the country if they complete their term in office.

His party is crumbling. His MPs and cadres have already joined the Tsipras bandwagon, and Kammenos is feeling the earth move under his feet.
