Antonis Samaras
( born 23 May 1951) is a Greek politician who served as Prime Minister of Greece from 2012 to 2015. He is also leader of New Democracy. Samaras previously served as Minister of Finance in 1989, as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1989 to 1992, and as Minister of Culture and Sport in 2009.
Samaras was known for a 1993 controversy in which he effectively caused the New Democracy Government, of which he was a member, to fall from power. In spite of this he rejoined the party in 2004 and was elected to its leadership in a closely fought intra-party election in late 2009.[1] He is the seventh leader of the party since it was founded in 1974.
