The Panopoulos government (Piraese: Κυβέρνηση Πανοπουλος) is the eleventh and current government of the Third Piraean Republic. It was formed the 3 March 2018, several months after the general elections and a month after being granted the declared confidence of the Piraean Senate. It is led by Stamatios Panopoulos, from the Piraese Socialist Workers Union, and counts with ministers from Green Alternative, Piraese Section of the Workers' International, Independent Regionalist Union and the Humanist Centre.
It is the cabinet with the highest number of political parties being represented in the Piraese history and is regarded by the media as the government that has exhibited more centre-left and progressive character. The government was formed after the collapse of Maria Theopeftatou's administration with the withdrawal of confidence from the radical centrist Democrats.
