Greek PM Plans Cabinet Reshuffle Amid Protests Following Deadly Train Crash

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is poised to announce a cabinet reshuffle in response to significant public protests following the 2023 train disaster that resulted in 57 fatalities. The anticipated changes include the replacement of Finance Minister Kostis Hatzidakis and the resignation of Transport Minister Christos Staikouras, with a deputy minister likely to be appointed to oversee railway reforms. This reshuffle comes after the government faced record-low approval ratings and successfully survived a no-confidence vote. The ongoing public anger has been fueled by the slow progress in addressing the safety issues highlighted by a state inquiry into the tragedy. Mitsotakis aims to restore public trust and improve safety measures in the nation's transport infrastructure. The official announcement is expected to take place today at noon.
