Stefanos Manos
Stefanos Manos (Greek: Στέφανος Μάνος) (born Athens, 1939) is a Greek politician, former member of the Hellenic Parliament as independent, and a former government minister. His political career started in the New Democracy party, for which he became a Member of Parliament in 1977. During the 1980s he would be the unpopular forerunner of Greek privatization. In April 1999, he formed his own party, The Liberals, but following its unsuccessful performance in the elections held in June for the European parliament (1,62%), he returned to the Hellenic Parliament firstly in 2000 as MP in co-operation with the major party of New Democracy, and again in the 2004 elections as independent by the statewide list but surprisingly on a rival PASOK ticket.[1]
After he suspended his Liberals' operation in 2002, he established in 2009 his new own party, Drasi, which he continues to lead. Heading Drasi, he took part in the 2009 European parliament election (0,76%).
