Cabinet of Antonis Samaras

[1] The former ministries of Shipping, Tourism and Macedonia and Thrace were re-established.

[2] The junior coalition partners, PASOK and DIMAR, chose to take a limited role in the cabinet, preferring to be represented by party officials and independent technocrats instead of MPs.

Yannis Stournaras was then chosen as the new finance minister on 26 June, and sworn in on 5 July.

[4][5] DIMAR left the coalition on 21 June 2013 in protest at the closure of the nation's public broadcaster ERT, leaving Samaras with a slim majority of 153 ND and PASOK MPs combined.

[6] The two remaining parties proceeded to negotiate a cabinet reshuffle that resulted in a significantly expanded role for PASOK in the new coalition government.
