He resigned, following pressure from the Eurogroup on the greek government. It's interesting he had to resign after effectively 'winning' a referedum. ( "Should greece accept the bailout? yes/no" ) He was a prominent "No" to that question. And apparently the Eurogroup preferred continuing the conversation without him in the picture and effected pressure in that direction. IIRC the guy after him also resigned, leaving the position vacant. I think it speaks to the level of agency that this position or minister of finance in 2008 Greece had to begin with. Either be a Europe yes-man, or git.
