Panagiotis "Panos" Kammenos (Greek: Παναγιώτης "Πάνος" Καμμένος, pronounced [panaˈʝotis ˈpanos kaˈmenos]; born 12 May 1965)[1] is a Greek politician and the founder of the right-wing party "Independent Greeks", which formed the governing coalition of the Hellenic Parliament with the Syriza Party after Kammenos met with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, on 26 January 2015.[2]
He was named Greece's Minister of National Defence on 27 January 2015.[3] He served until 20 August 2015, when the Syriza-ANEL coalition resigned, and continued as a lame duck until 28 August, when he was succeeded by the interim Minister, Ioannis Giangos. He again became Minister of National Defence on 23 September 2015 when the Syriza-ANEL coalition was re-created following the election of 20 September 2015.
