Yiannis Bratakos

Greetings! Since the government isn’t producing much news for this column, except for Olgara, who popped up in court again yesterday with her signature black shades, “clarifying that she doesn’t make statements for the sake of her children”—who, if I’m not mistaken, are still babies, but anyway—I’ll move on to the PASOK-SYRIZA scene where things are more fun.

Government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis announced adjustments to the Cabinet on Monday following the resignation of two ministers last week - Minister of State Stavros Papastavrou and Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister Yiannis Bratakos.

The resignations of the minister of state, Stavros Papastavrou, and the deputy minister to the prime minister, Yiannis Bratakos, last Thursday has been attributed to their attendance at the "wrong" social event.

The event turned out to be more than just social, as four days later it led to the ouster of two of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' closest associates.

Two ministers have resigned from the government.

Minister of State Stavros Papastavrou and Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister Yiannis Bratakos submitted their resignations to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The prime minister thanked them for their cooperation and accepted their resignations, a statement from his office said.

The Greek government will announce on Monday its decisions on how to tackle the perennial problem of sports-related violence, following the serious injury of a police officer in clashes with hooligans during a volleyball match earlier this week.

On the one hand, a recount of what has so far been achieved and the planning of the next steps. On the other hand, pre-election planning - the goals ahead of the polls, the rhetoric, and the New Democracy stratgey overall.
