Defence Minister and leader of the Independent Greeks (ANEL) party Panos Kammenos on Sunday announced that his party will be withdrawing from Greece’s coalition government, after a meeting with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
“I met with the prime minister. We had quite a long discussion. There was a cooperation lasting four whole years in a government of national unity. We succeeded in extricating our country from the memorandums. The first goal was achieved. On the issue of Macedonia, I am not permitted to not sacrifice the seat. I thanked the prime minister. On the national issue this cooperation cannot continue. ANEL are withdrawing from the government,” he said as he emerged from the Maximos Mansion.
