Greek Government Overhaul Amid EU Farm Subsidy Scandal
The Greek Prime Minister has reshuffled his cabinet after two ministers resigned. Their departure follows a European Union investigation into the misuse of agricultural subsidies. The EU's anti-fraud office is probing allegations that Greek officials mishandled funds meant for farmers. The financial aid was part of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. The scandal led to the resignation of the Minister of Agricultural Development and the Minister of the Interior. The Prime Minister moved quickly to appoint replacements and reorganize key positions. This cabinet reshuffle aims to address political instability caused by the probe. The government has stated its full cooperation with EU authorities. Further details from the fraud investigation are expected in the coming weeks.
