Kammenos admits his party is fractured

Defense Minister Panos Kammenos admitted in a press conference following his resignation statement Sunday, that only two other Independent Greeks lawmakers will follow him in voting against the government and the FYROM name deal.
The 7-strong parliamentary group, which has propped up the government majority of 152 in the 300-member Parlaiment is split.

Kammenos said that Maria Kollia-Tsaroucha, the Deputy Defense Minister who will follow him out of the government, and MP Costas Katsikis, will vote like him.

Two other lawmakers, eccentric ally Costas Zouraris, who is not a party member, and Athanassios Papachristopoulos, have declared their support for the name deal and are likely to back the government, as well. Kammenos said that both had informed him about their position well in advance and called their views an "honest disagreement."
