There is a "strong possibility" that Greek government will conduct a major cabinet reshuffle involving key ministers changing positions, in the light of the outbreak of devastating wildfires across the country, a source close to the Greek prime minister said on Friday.
Earlier in the day, the Greek prime minister's office announced that five deputy ministers would change their positions in the cabinet.
A new role was created for one of the deputy ministers to oversee matters of state and provision of assistance during natural disasters, which the government hopes will help to better coordinate relief efforts during disasters such as recent forest fires.
"After the crisis with the forest fires is over, after a few weeks there is a strong possibility for a larger reshuffle within the Greek government which it will include the top ministers, as the prime minister is not fully satisfied with the performance of some government members during the forest fire crisis," the source said.
