The cabinet of Alexandros Papanastasiou (March - July 1924) was the first government of the Second Hellenic Republic.

Alexandros Papanastasiou, one of the most ardent anti-monarchist of the time, assumed the leadership of the government immediately after the fall of the "Kafantaris government". 13 days after taking office, he proclaimed the establishment of the Republic in Greece.
More specifically, at the Assembly session of 24 March 1924, the government of Papanastasiou in the absence of the representatives belonging to the "Kafantaris faction", and with the support of the representatives belonging to Andreas Michalakopoulos and Themistoklis Sofoulis, received the confidence of the Hellenic Parliament, with 259 votes.

At the end of the vote, the Speaker of the Parliament, Konstantinos Raktivan, announced to the people, who, gathered in and outside the Parliament, the dethronement of the Gluxburg dynasty and the establishment of the Republic.[1] The next day, 25 March 1924, 283 deputies ratified the "Resolution on the Deposition of the Dynasty and the Proclamation of the Republic". («Ψήφισμα περί εκπτώσεως της Δυναστείας και ανακηρύξεως της Δημοκρατίας») [2]

The resolution was approved by the Greek people in the referendum of 30 April 1924.[3]

On 8 June 1924, Georgios Kondylis, followed by the ministers Georgios Roussos, Aristomenis Mitsotakis and Emmanouil Tsouderos, resigned from the government.
Kondylis cited Papanastasiou's indifference to the action within the army of the pro-communist organization, "Enosis Paleon Polemiston"; Tsouderos, because his recommendations on finances were rejected; Roussos was not excused; while Mitsotakis cited authoritarianism on the part of Papanastasiou and his disagreement with the bill "on exchange controls".[4]

Papanastasiou reacted by reshuffling his cabinet, with the tacit support of Andreas Michalakopoulos. However, dissatisfaction was growing, and on 19 July 1924 the government lost Parliament's confidence and Papanastasiou resigned.
