Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras reshuffled his cabinet late on Friday, removing ministers who have expressed opposition to the austerity measures and economic measures demanded by Greece’s international creditors, but retaining his ministers of finance and foreign affairs.

The dramatic changes made in what critics have described as a “Troika-friendly” cabinet are seen as a bid to speed up reforms that Athens has committed to under its latest international bailout deal, as well as to bolster the government’s flagging popularity.

Notably, energy minister Panos Skourletis, who opposed the privatization of Greece’s electric power system, was replaced by the more moderate economy minister, Giorgos Stathakis, while labor minister Giorgos Katrougalos, faulted for the slowness of his efforts to reform Greece’s bloated pension scheme, and education and religious affairs minister Nikos Filis, who had had repeated clashes with Archbishop Ieronymos on a range of issues, were also removed. Key aide Dimitris Liakos, who oversaw the prime minister’s economic office, was tapped to supervise the enforcement of Greece’s bailout program.

Other cabinet members who retained their ministries included defense minister Panos Kammenos, foreign minister Nikos Kotzias, tourism minister Elena Kountoura and Migration Minister Yiannis Mouzalas.
