The new Greek government was announced by spokesperson Olga Gerovasili, Friday at 10pm. Minister of Education Nikos Filis was left out of the new government, paying the price for his open disagreement with the head the Greek Orthodox Church, Archbishop of Athens Ieronymos. Dimitris Papadimitriou, from the Levy Institute took over the Ministry of Finance and Development, while Kostas Zouaris from the minor coalition party ANEL will assume the post of Deputy Minister of Education and Religious Affairs, while his fellow MP Vasilis took over as Deputy Minister for Agricultural Development and Food.
