Greek PM sacks police minister in mini reshuffle, key posts unchanged. On Wednesday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis named a new police minister as part of a modest cabinet reshuffle to strengthen his conservative administration ahead of planned changes this year.

A government official stated that the prime minister, re-elected in June 2023 and with an eight-seat majority in the 300-seat parliament, wants to make “targeted corrective moves.”

Mitsotakis retained key ministries to ensure policy continuity in the economy, defense, and foreign affairs.

He shuffled certain ministers, notably Michalis Chrysohoidis, who was transferred from the Health Ministry to the Civil Protection Ministry, which oversees the police, to replace Giannis Oikonomou. Adonis Georgiadis was transferred from the Labor Ministry to the Ministry of Health.

Chrysohoidis has held the position of civil protection minister numerous times over the last two decades, and he was in charge when Greece disbanded November 17, Greece’s most violent guerrilla organization, in 2002.

His reappointment comes after a string of violent occurrences, including the death of a 31-year-old police officer who was struck by a flare during a volleyball game last month.

Earlier this week, Mitsotakis stated that 2024 would mark the start of a new era for the country, which required “a rushing wave of changes,” and that he anticipated European Parliament elections later this year would reinforce political stability.

Mitsotakis has committed to legalizing same-sex marriage, and his administration is anticipated to present legislation allowing private colleges to operate in the nation. Both measures will almost certainly face opposition.
