Government officials on the changes in the government structure: The prime minister, when making a decision, takes corrective actions in order to strengthen the effectiveness of government work

Government officials after the announcement of the changes in the government structure report the following:

“The prime minister, as he has shown in all the previous years, when he makes a decision, takes corrective actions in order to strengthen the effectiveness of government work. And in this case, he acted immediately and decisively to have a more dynamic start to the new year in critical areas.

In this context and given the priority given by the government to issues of citizens’ security, the head of the Ministry of Citizen Protection is assumed by Michalis Chrysochoidis, who has a wealth of experience in this field, while the deputy minister is assumed by an executive of the younger generation, the member of parliament Ilias Andreas Nikolakopoulos.

Head of the Ministry of Health, a sector in which the government also places great emphasis, is assumed by Adonis Georgiadis, a minister with reform experience, in order to advance the reforms that have already started in the previous months.

Minister of Labor, Domna Michailidou, who has successfully served in this ministry, takes over, while Deputy Minister of Education, with responsibility for Vocational Training, is taken over by State Member of Parliament, Ioanna Lytrivi, an executive with great expertise and experience in this field.

The government representative Pavlos Marinakis, also an executive from the new generation, is promoted to deputy minister in addition to the Prime Minister and together with the representation of the government, also assumes the responsibilities of the press. It should be noted that with the changes, one more woman assumes a ministerial position and another is added to the positions of deputy ministers, while 3 executives of the younger generation enter the ministerial structure. The number of ministers and deputy ministers is not increasing, since the Deputy Minister of Defense N. Hardalias has already been elected Regional Governor of Attica and has not been replaced.”
