Earlier this week, the Cabinet approved the 2025 hiring plan, which applies to all public sector agencies and various sectors and specialties.

On Monday morning, Education Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis provided further clarifications regarding the new school regulations, particularly concerning the ban on mobile phone use by students. He explained, “The display and use of mobile phones are prohibited. It can remain in your pocket, but this applies even during breaks, and the penalty is a one-day suspension.”

At the gym, he was welcomed by Infrastructure and Transport Minister Christos Staikouras, Penteli Mayor Natassa Kosmopoulou, and the school’s director. A representative from GEK Terna, responsible for the restoration, presented the reconstruction plan, expected to be completed in six months. Other school facilities in the area will be repaired by the start of the school year.

Today’s meeting in Penteli, led by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, will resemble a mini-Cabinet session. It will take place this afternoon and will include several ministers, deputy ministers, general secretaries, the Governor of Attica, and mayors from the affected areas.

The return of Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the Maximou , after the short vacation of the government team, signals the start of intense meetings in preparation for the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), which is traditionally the political milestone of the year.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has reshuffled his government, his spokesman announced on June 14, following disappointing results for his right-wing New Democracy (ND) party in last week's European Parliament elections.

The posts of interior, migration and labor ministers changed hands, as did the agriculture and rural development portfolios.

The email addresses of thousands of Greek voters abroad were leaked between May and June 2023, an Interior Ministry internal audit has found.

The inquiry was ordered after New Democracy MEP Anna-Michelle Asimakopoulou sent a mass email to Greeks abroad as part of her re-election campaign in June's European elections. She since withdrew her candidacy.

The Interior Ministry's Internal Control Unit is poised to unveil its findings regarding the leaked emails of Greek voters abroad, declared Deputy Minister of Interior, Theodoros Livanios.

The Greek Health Ministry and the Civil Protection bureau issued a COVID-19 orange alert (moderate risk) today after the appearance and expected spread of the more transmissible Delta variant, which was isolated in India, especially on the island of Crete, which has the most confirmed cases.

Α meeting will be held at the Civil Protection's operatin center on Thursday to discuss the state's preparation ahead of the imminent cold front that is expected to hit a large part of the country in the following days.
