(Reuters) - The Greek government said on Saturday it had expelled former prime minister and lawmaker Antonis Samaras from the ruling New Democracy party’s parliamentary group over comments in a newspaper interview described as being against government policies.
The move cuts the number of government lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament to 155 seats.
