Greece's conservative government has announced a major cabinet reshuffle as it works to address declining approval ratings and a rise in support for far-right parties.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Friday named new finance and transport ministers and handed other key portfolios to younger officials in a reshuffle designed to shore up support for his government after mass protests over a 2023 train crash.

Weeks after thousands protested over Greece's worst rail disaster in 2023 which killed 57, mostly students, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis named new finance and transport ministers and handed other key portfolios to younger officials.
