Greek Prime Minister Reshuffles Cabinet Following Rail Disaster Fallout

Kyriakos Mitsotakis appoints new finance and transport ministers as public anger and protests over the 2023 train crash persist.

The cabinet reshuffle includes Kyriakos Pierrakakis, a popular former digital governance minister, as the new finance minister.
Christos Dimas has been named the new transport minister, tasked with modernizing Greece's railways after the 2023 crash that killed 57 people.
The reshuffle follows mass protests marking the second anniversary of the Tempi rail disaster, with public distrust in the government growing.
A recent inquiry highlighted unresolved safety issues in the rail network and shortcomings in the crash investigation, fueling public outrage.
Political analysts question whether the reshuffle will restore public confidence, as approval ratings for Mitsotakis' government continue to decline.
