New Greek ministers sworn in after Tsipras reshuffle
- 9 years ago
New ministers in the Greek government have been sworn in after a reshuffle within Syriza’s ranks following a rebellion over tough bailout terms.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras sacked several dissidents from his cabinet in a move that marks a split with his party’s main leftist faction.
Despite the revolt, parliament approved the bailout which requires more painful measures in return.
The newly-appointed Labour Minister George Katrougalos says the
government, elected on an anti-austerity platform, will fight for an agreement that is “socially just”.
The new Energy Minister Panos Skourletis, a close Tsipras ally, says the reshuffle marks the government’s adjustment “to a new reality”.
