Encyclopedia > Georgios Kafantaris

Georgios Kaphantaris (alternative spellings: Kafantaris or Kafandaris) was a Greek politician, born in Anatoliki Frangista, Evritania prefecture in 1873.


He served in Venizelos' cabinet as Minister for agriculture but disagreed with him as far as holding elections while the Greek Army was still involved in Asia Minor. In the elections that ensued, Venizelos' Liberal Party was ousted and Kaphantaris left the country for France and Italy. He returned after the Asia Minor Disaster and was named Minister of Justice. In 1924, Prime Minister Venizelos resigned due to health reasons and nominated Kaphantaris as his successor. Kaphantaris resigned a month later.


He opposed the Pangalos' dictatorship and, after its overthrow, took part in several more governments as Minister of Finance.


He died in 1946.
