Aristides Kalantzakis (Greek: Αριστείδης Καλαντζάκος April 10, 1928 – February 26, 2017) was a Greek politician and member of the New Democracy party. Kalantzakis served in the Hellenic Parliament, representing the Messenia constituency, from 1958 to 1967 and 1974 to 1996.[1] His portfolios as a New Democracy government minister included the now defunct Minister for Trade from 1980 to 1981 and Minister of Labor from 1990 to 1993.[1]
Kalantzakis studied law at the University of Athens.[1] He then continued his studies in Paris and Nancy, France. He was first elected to the Hellenic Parliament in the 1958 legislative election, representing Messenia, and won re-election in 1961, 1963, and 1964.[1] He then briefly held the position of Deputy Finance Minister from April 4, 1967, until April 21, 1967, when a coup installed the Greek military junta of 1967–74.[1]
In 1974, the military junta ended, allowing for the 1974 Greek legislative election in which Kalantzakis returned to Parliament. He was re-elected to the Hellenic Parliament in the 1977, 1981, 1985, June 1989, November 1989, 1990 and 1993 legislative elections.[1] Kalantzakis served as the Deputy Minister of Coordination and Planning in the Konstantinos Karamanlis government from September 10, 1976 until October 21, 1977.[1] He also held the portfolios of Minister for Trade from October 11, 1980 until October 21, 1981, and Minister of Labor from April 11, 1990 until October 13, 1993.[1]
Aristides Kalantzakis died on February 26, 2017, at the age of 89.[1]
