Leader of small left-wing party Democratic Left DIMAR Thanassis Theocharopoulos has been appointed new Greek Tourism Minister on Saturday.
Successful Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura resigned last week after 4,5 years in the post as she runs for the European elections on May 26.
40-year-old Theocharopoulos left the center-left alliance KINAL/PASOK a few weeks ago in order to ally with SYRIZA. Still in January he was claiming he was in the opposition to ruling SYRIZA. T was apparently the Prespes Agreement that brought the two parties together.
Theocharopoulos studied Agricultural Engineering and has a PhD in Agricultural Economics.
