Greek Prime Minister Plans Cabinet Shake‑Up as Farm Aid Scandal Widens

 

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis takes part in a joint press conference at Paphos military airport.


Greece’s government is bracing for a significant political reset as the prime minister prepares to reshuffle his cabinet following a growing scandal over alleged misuse of European Union agricultural subsidies.

The controversy erupted after investigations suggested that individuals with no farming activity may have improperly received EU aid intended for agricultural producers. The revelations have triggered public criticism and placed pressure on the government to demonstrate accountability.

According to reports, the planned reshuffle aims to restore public trust, tighten oversight of subsidy programs, and reinforce the administration’s commitment to transparency. Several ministries connected to rural development and financial management are expected to see changes, though official details have not yet been released.

The scandal has also prompted renewed calls for stricter monitoring of EU funds across member states, highlighting long‑standing concerns about fraud and bureaucratic loopholes in agricultural support programs.

As the government moves to contain the fallout, political analysts suggest the reshuffle may serve both as damage control and an attempt to reassert stability ahead of upcoming policy battles.
