Ministerial post for Stylianides confirms dearth of capable people in ND, SYRIZA says
Main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance greeted the news that former Cypriot European Commissioner Christos Stylianides will be taking over the civil protection portfolio in the Greek government as confirmation of "a dearth of ND party members" capable of doing the job.
A party announcement said that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, "starting with the parody reshuffle, confirmed his failure and his attempt to slam his political opponents instead of address the climate crisis, attempting to steal an advisor of [SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras] and former member of the SYRIZA-P.A. government."
"Today, the 'transfer from Cyprus' of Mr. Stylianides and his rushed naturalisation so that he can become a minister in the Mitsotakis government has ensured the confirmation of the unprecedented dearth of top-flight ND party members," the party added.
