After the debacle of the Independent Greeks party in the European Elections, Panos Kammenos receives yet another blow as Vassilis Kapernaros announced that he was leaving the Independent Greeks party parliamentary group to become an independent MP.

The MP’s letter, sent to Parliament President Evangelos Meimarakis on Thursday:

In the recent European Elections, Independent Greeks party’s share of the vote was only 3.46%. The party managed to elect only one MEP, namely Notis Marias based on the vote count so far.

Terence Quick: For every one that leaves, many more are joining

The 14 remaining members of the Independent Greeks’ parliamentary group appeared at the front entrance of the parliament.

“You should ask Vassilis Kapernaros the reason for his resignation,” said Terrence Quick, Greek reporter and MP of the Independent Greeks, adding that “for every one that leaves, many more are joining.”

Vassilis Kapernaros reportedly complained that the party didn’t support him enough during his campaign as a candidate for Athens mayor.
