Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced on Sunday that he will call a confidence vote in the government after his coalition partner quit over a long-standing name dispute with neighbouring country FYR Macedonia, Euronews reports.
Panos Kammenos, whose Independent Greeks party props up Tsipras minority government, announced his resignation on Sunday morning after a meeting with Tspiras.
“The Macedonia name issue…doesn’t allow me not to sacrifice the minister’s chair,” Kammenos said.
He added that the party’s other ministers will also walk out.
