Prime Minister Kyrakios Mitsotakis has decided to proceed with a government reshuffle on Monday, the first working day of the new year. There is little information about how extensive the reshuffle that will be announced at 12 o’ clock noon will be.
Some ministers are to move to other ministries and some will go home. At the same time, “new blood” is supposed to come from the New Democracy parliamentary group.

One of these ministers announced on Saturday morning the upcoming gradual opening of retail stores. Two hours later the government spokesman announced new strict lockdown.
Scenarios about the cabinet reshuffle were strong in the last two days, and the crucial phone calls must have taken place in the last hours.
