Government of Greece (officially: Government of the Hellenic Republic,Greek:Κυβέρνηση της Ελληνικής Δημοκρατίας), Greek government or the Hellenic Government, is the government of the Hellenic Republic. Established in its present form in 1974.
Head of government is the prime minister as the President of the Government, which recommends ministers and deputy ministers to the President of the Republic for appointment. The prime minister, the ministers and the alternate ministers, belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Ministerial Council. The government ministers and alternate ministers usually all sit in Parliament, and are accountable to it. Deputy ministers are not members of the government, by law.
Other collective government bodies, except the Ministerial Council, are the Committee on Institutions, the Government Council for Foreign Affairs and Defence and others, including in particular government policy issues.

According to the 2011 census, Greece's population is around 10.8 million. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki, which is commonly referred to as the co-capital.

This Establishment Politician Just Became Prime Minister of Greece
Greece is poised to do something increasingly rare in Europe these days: elect an establishment politician as their next prime minister.
Despite presiding over a fragile economic recovery, Greeks appear to have grown tired of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his Syriza party, and are looking to shake things up during this Sunday’s legislative election.
All signs indicate Kyriakos Mitsotakis of the centre-right New Democracy party will come out on top.
If those projections hold and Greeks end up choosing the 51-year-old Mitsotakis on Sunday, voters won’t just be voting for a fresh face, they’ll be ushering in a return to establishment politics.
Unlike Tsipras, who rose to power on a wave of anti-establishment sentiment and anger towards the EU, Mitsotakis represents Greek political...

Will the prime minister of Greece form a new government? | Inside Story
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants to govern for another four years.
And voters appear to want him to lead as well.
But although The New Democracy Party was the clear winner in elections on Sunday with more than 40 percent of the vote, it failed to win an outright majority.
The party has promised to further lift the economy.
But voters, especially the young, say they've yet to see any benefits.
So what's next for Greek politics and is the opposition party still relevant?

Greek workers want to overthrow their government after a train crash
On Feb. 28, 2023, two trains traveling along the same track collided in Greece, killing 57 people—many of them students in their teens and 20s returning home from university in Athens. The deaths of 11 workers in the crash sparked two 24-hour strikes from the railway unions, followed by demonstrations across the country that have lasted for weeks and mobilized tens of thousands of people. Workers blame the crash on a lack of properly functioning safety and communication systems, as well as severe understaffing and underfunding of the railways—all originating from "Troika" (EU, IMF, and ECB) structural adjustment imposed on Greece in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Since 2010, Greek railroads have lost 3500 workers, a third of the rail network has been closed, and mass privatization ...

Greece is poised to do something increasingly rare in Europe these days: elect an establishment politician as their next prime minister.
Despite presiding over a fragile economic recovery, Greeks appear to have grown tired of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his Syriza party, and are looking to shake things up during this Sunday’s legislative election.
All signs indicate Kyriakos Mitsotakis of the centre-right New Democracy party will come out on top.
If those projections hold and Greeks end up choosing the 51-year-old Mitsotakis on Sunday, voters won’t just be voting for a fresh face, they’ll be ushering in a return to establishment politics.
Unlike Tsipras, who rose to power on a wave of anti-establishment sentiment and anger towards the EU, Mitsotakis represents Greek political aristocracy. His father Konstantinos was Prime Minister between 1990 and 1993.
“I think society realized that electing populists into power is not a solution to underlying economic problems. So essentially what is happening is the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction,” he told VICE founder Shane Smith during an interview at the New Democracy party headquarters in Athens.
He’s not shy about his establishment credentials either. One of Mitsotakis’s main campaign planks is convincing Greek’s that his financial stewardship can spur renewed confidence in the Greek economy, and lead the lenders who bailed out its economy to the tune of 240 billion euros over eight years to ease their strict requirement that Greece maintain a budget surplus of 3.5 percent.
“The key challenge is to restore high growth rates,” Mitsotakis said. “If the economy grows faster, our creditors are going to be happy because the debt is going to be repaid more easily.”
And to get the economy growing at a faster rate Mitsotakis is appealing to young Greek who left the country during the financial crisis to return.

On Feb. 28, 2023, two trains traveling along the same track collided in Greece, killing 57 people—many of them students in their teens and 20s returning home from university in Athens. The deaths of 11 workers in the crash sparked two 24-hour strikes from the railway unions, followed by demonstrations across the country that have lasted for weeks and mobilized tens of thousands of people. Workers blame the crash on a lack of properly functioning safety and communication systems, as well as severe understaffing and underfunding of the railways—all originating from "Troika" (EU, IMF, and ECB) structural adjustment imposed on Greece in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Since 2010, Greek railroads have lost 3500 workers, a third of the rail network has been closed, and mass privatization has swept the industry. TRNN reports from Greece as workers and students march to demand all essential social services such as transportation and education are made free and placed under social and workers' control. This video is part of a special Workers of the World series on the cost of living crisis in Europe.

Greece is poised to do something increasingly rare in Europe these days: elect an establishment politician as their next prime minister.
Despite presiding over a fragile economic recovery, Greeks appear to have grown tired of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his Syriza party, and are looking to shake things up during this Sunday’s legislative election.
All signs indicate Kyriakos Mitsotakis of the centre-right New Democracy party will come out on top.
If those projections hold and Greeks end up choosing the 51-year-old Mitsotakis on Sunday, voters won’t just be voting for a fresh face, they’ll be ushering in a return to establishment politics.
Unlike Tsipras, who rose to power on a wave of anti-establishment sentiment and anger towards the EU, Mitsotakis represents Greek political aristocracy. His father Konstantinos was Prime Minister between 1990 and 1993.
“I think society realized that electing populists into power is not a solution to underlying economic problems. So essentially what is happening is the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction,” he told VICE founder Shane Smith during an interview at the New Democracy party headquarters in Athens.
He’s not shy about his establishment credentials either. One of Mitsotakis’s main campaign planks is convincing Greek’s that his financial stewardship can spur renewed confidence in the Greek economy, and lead the lenders who bailed out its economy to the tune of 240 billion euros over eight years to ease their strict requirement that Greece maintain a budget surplus of 3.5 percent.
“The key challenge is to restore high growth rates,” Mitsotakis said. “If the economy grows faster, our creditors are going to be happy because the debt is going to be repaid more easily.”
And to get the economy growing at a faster rate Mitsotakis is appealing to young Greek who left the country during the financial crisis to return.

Voters are expected to give former Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s conservative party a second term in office.
While Greeks re-elected the conservative New Democracy government by a resounding majority in May, Mitsotakis refused to form a coalition government, triggering a second vote.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants to govern for another four years.
And voters appear to want him to lead as well.
But although The New Democracy Party was the clear winner in elections on Sunday with more than 40 percent of the vote, it failed to win an outright majority.
The party has promised to further lift the economy.
But voters, especially the young, say they've yet to see any benefits.
So what's next for Greek politics and is the opposition party still relevant?

On Feb. 28, 2023, two trains traveling along the same track collided in Greece, killing 57 people—many of them students in their teens and 20s returning home from university in Athens. The deaths of 11 workers in the crash sparked two 24-hour strikes from the railway unions, followed by demonstrations across the country that have lasted for weeks and mobilized tens of thousands of people. Workers blame the crash on a lack of properly functioning safety and communication systems, as well as severe understaffing and underfunding of the railways—all originating from "Troika" (EU, IMF, and ECB) structural adjustment imposed on Greece in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Since 2010, Greek railroads have lost 3500 workers, a third of the rail network has been closed, and mass privatization has swept the industry. TRNN reports from Greece as workers and students march to demand all essential social services such as transportation and education are made free and placed under social and workers' control. This video is part of a special Workers of the World series on the cost of living crisis in Europe.

Government of Greece (officially: Government of the Hellenic Republic,Greek:Κυβέρνηση της Ελληνικής Δημοκρατίας), Greek government or the Hellenic Government, is the government of the Hellenic Republic. Established in its present form in 1974.
Head of government is the prime minister as the President of the Government, which recommends ministers and deputy ministers to the President of the Republic for appointment. The prime minister, the ministers and the alternate ministers, belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Ministerial Council. The government ministers and alternate ministers usually all sit in Parliament, and are accountable to it. Deputy ministers are not members of the government, by law.
Other collective government bodies, except the Ministerial Council, are the Committee on Institutions, the Government Council for Foreign Affairs and Defence and others, including in particular government policy issues.
