President Nikos Christodoulides made big changes in the government. He has four new ministers. Two other important people have new jobs. This is the second big change in his government. The president wants new ideas for energy, justice, and health. The new ministers will start their work soon.
This change happened in the middle of the president's term. It is a smart move to improve policies. The president thanked the old ministers for their hard work. Three people are leaving the government completely. These are the ministers for energy, labour, and social welfare.
One change happened because of a past problem. Marios Hartsiotis is no longer the justice minister. He made a mistake last summer. He said no one died in a wildfire. However, two people did die. Many people were angry about his words. Now, he has a different job.
The new team has new people. Michael Damianos is the new energy minister. Marinos Mousiouttas will lead the labour ministry. Konstantinos Fytiris is the new justice minister. Neophytos Charalambides will be the health minister. Clea Hadjistefanou-Papaellina is the new deputy minister for social welfare.
Some ministers are still in their jobs. Maria Panayiotou was also criticized for the wildfire. However, she remains the agriculture minister. The president is trying to balance new people with experience. We will see if the new team can do a good job for the country.
