- Story Text:The newly appointed members of Greece’s new cabinet were sworn in on Saturday (March 15) during a ceremony at the Presidential palace, following a government reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on March 14.
In a meeting with the newly appointed ministers, the prime minister emphasized that the primary goal of the reshuffle was to focus on "renewal and action."
The reshuffle, the second since the centre-right government won re-election in 2023, comes weeks after hundreds of thousands took to the streets demanding justice over Greece's worst ever rail disaster in February 2023, in which 57 people died, most of them students.
It was Greece's biggest protest in years and has shaken Mitsotakis' government, which has slipped in the opinion polls though it survived a parliamentary vote of no confidence last week over the crash.
Political analysts doubted whether the reshuffle would stem popular anger towards Mitsotakis and his government, although the next parliamentary election is not scheduled until 2027.
