Prime Minister Kyriakom Mitsotakis agreed to his subordinate’s request to step down. Officially, the reason for Mitarakis’s departure from the cabinet is called “personal circumstances.” At the same time, his removal is associated with the fact that a high-ranking official was on vacation at a time when the country was literally on fire. According to some reports, the minister was resting on Patmos.
Giannis Ikonomou, who previously headed the education department, became Greece’s new Minister of Citizen Protection.
