A statement from Yiannis Antonios’s office provides the first clue about the upcoming cabinet reshuffle. Maria Panagiotou is on her way out of the cabinet; she has been preparing to return to the classroom since September.  

“With a great deal of certainty, the fact before us at this moment is that the Minister of Agriculture, who has accepted an appointment in Education, will have to be replaced.” ^{Yiannis Antoniou} Discussions took place between the president and the minister, who placed herself at his disposal, telling him that if he wanted her to remain in her current portfolio, she would do so. It should be noted that she accepted the appointment so as not to miss her last chance under the secondary education regulations.

“The drive and intention are here every day. All ministers know from the moment we take office that we are here for a limited time. No one knows, except the president, when the term will end.” ^{Maria Panagiotou}
: “I’ll stand by him”

The Minister of Transportation, who is among those rumored to be leaving, states that he has stood by the president and will continue to do so, no matter what the president decides.
 
“We will never discuss this with the president. The president will make the decisions. We are soldiers. We will play our part until the president tells us otherwise.” ^{Alexis Vafeadis}

Final Touches

Nikos Christodoulidis is preparing to announce the reshuffle within the next few days. Sources suggest it will happen by the middle of next week.  

“The fact that people are being removed doesn’t mean they haven’t been successful.” ^{Konstantinos Letympiotis}

The changes will definitely not take place on July 20 due to the somber anniversary of the invasion. Even if a reshuffle is planned for this weekend, based on the announced schedule, the ministers of education, justice, and the Deputy Minister to the President will not be affected, as they will officially represent the government at the anniversary events. These names were not on the list of changes anyway. The ministers of the interior, finance, foreign affairs, and immigration also remain in their posts.
