Dimitris Papadimitriou

A day of great joy was described today by the Consul General of  Ambassador Konstantinos Koutras, as Dimitris Papadimitriou, whose fate had been missing since September 5, was found and reunited with his family.

Hours of agony continue for the family of 78-year-old Greek from Kozani, whose traces were lost while he was on an excursion to Constantinople.

The phone-tapping scandal may determine the outcome of the next election in Greece. It ought not to reverse the changes made to the institutional support around the prime minister. The latter should not be a matter of party or factional politics; rather, they concern the ability of a government - of any color - to deliver its policies.

Dimitris Papadimitriou's 14 new "Symphonic Miniatures" are to be performed as a suite titled "Dream Peddlers" in an interactive concert by the ERT National Symphony Orchestra at the Onassis Cultural Center on February 15 and 16.

Six new members of the cabinet were sworn in at the Presidential Mansion on Thursday after a mini-reshuffle that was prompted by the resignation of two ministers earlier this week.

Ioannis Dragasakis, formerly the deputy prime minister, was sworn in as economy minister, taking over from Dimitris Papadimitriou, who resigned on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras gave his cabinet a moderate overhaul on Wednesday, appointing Deputy Prime Minister Yiannis Dragasakis to the post of economy and development minister and bringing in veteran leftist Fotis Kouvelis as alternate defense minister.

The reshuffle was triggered by the resignation of two ministers earlier this week over a row involving state benefits.

Deputy Prime Minister Yiannis Dragasakis is to assume the portfolio of the Economy and Development Ministry after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was forced to moderately reshuffle his cabinet on Wednesday, following the resignation of two ministers this week. 

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is expected to proceed with a mini-reshuffle in the coming days after losing two ministers from his government in as many days. 

Another three members of the SYRIZA-led government requested state rent subsidies, Skai has reported following the resignation of Alternate Social Solidarity Minister Rania Antonopoulou in a benefit row and that of her husband, Economy Minister Dimitris Papadimitriou.

Economy Minister Dimitris Papadimitriou has resigned hours after his wife, Alternate Minister for Social Solidarity Rania Antonopoulou, stepped down on Monday afternoon following revelations that she received 23,000 euros in state rent subsidies for an apartment in the chic Athens neighborhood of Kolonaki.
