Key Changes in the Cabinet
- Kostis Hatzidakis will take on the role of Deputy Prime Minister, overseeing ministries related to economic affairs and playing a critical role within the Maximos Mansion. He will work closely with Minister of State Akis Skertsos, responsible for monitoring government operations.
- Kyriakos Pierrakakis will move to the Finance Ministry, a position he was widely expected to take after his Tuesday meeting with the Prime Minister.

Nikos Papathanasis will likely remain as his deputy, continuing his work on the Recovery Fund.
- The reshuffle may also trigger further ministerial moves, such as Sophia Zacharaki potentially heading the Education Ministry and Eirini Agapidaki taking charge of the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family Affairs.
