Greek PM replaces development, labor ministers in cabinet reshuffle
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis appointed on Friday a new development minister and replaced his labor minister in a cabinet reshuffle aimed at helping Greece deal with a high cost of living.
Takis Theodorikakos was named development minister, while Niki Kerameus took the labor ministry’s portfolio.
Nikos Panagiotopoulos was assigned the migration portfolio, while Theodoros Livanios was appointed interior minister. The rural development portfolio was handed to Kostas Tsiaras.
Mitsotakis kept his finance minister Kostis Hatzidakis unchanged.
Mitsotakis’ New Democracy party, which has led Greece since 2019, came first in Sunday’s EU election with 28.3% of the vote but missed a 33% target Mitsotakis had set during his pre-election campaign and was well below the 40% his party received in a June 2023 national election.
Earlier this week, Mitsotakis ruled out a snap election, saying that he would move ahead with corrective moves to show Greek “people that we have taken their message into account.”
The incoming ministers will be sworn in on Friday at 6 p.m. at the Presidential Mansion in the presence of President Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
The new cabinet will convene on Saturday at 10 a.m.
