This is “the big reshuffle”, according to Ta Nea. The Athenian daily’s front page shows prime minister George Papandreou’s “3 aces +1” after his cabinet reshuffle on 6 September. Finance minister George Papaconstantinou will remain in office to straighten out the nation’s accounts, backed up by new ministers of the interior, development and health. This shake-up, Ta Nea explains, reflects the PM’s change of strategy to gain time in the struggle for economic recovery and take on the social discontent and widespread strikes against the austerity plan imposed by the EU and IMF.
