As was expected the economist Yanis Varoufakis was given the key position of Finance Minister, and another influential economist, Nikos Dragasakis was appointed Deputy Prime Minister... Via The TOC, Alexis Tsipras has reorganized the government, merging several ministries and creating new bodies, such as the Anti Corruption office to be led by Panos Nikoloudis.

As Varoufakis previously explained, The Troika is trying to suffocate us and to put pressure on the democratic choice by telling us: either you follow our requirements, or you will be cast into hell. They actually have their own threats as exogenous circumstances of the situation, as they are simply part. They are trying to terrorize the Greek voters. Doesn't seem like much middle-ground there. But if no agreement is possible, or found? So I say this clearly: “Death is preferable. “The real deficit in Greece, it is a dignity deficit. It is because of this lack of dignity that we have accepted stupid measures and this has fueled a vicious cycle of indignity which itself maintains discontent, fear and resentment. All this is not good. We must regain our dignity, spirit, October 28, 1940 made ??us say “no” to the ultimatum of Mussolini’s Italy. At this time, we do not have the means to say “no” and yet we did. (Note: 28 October 1940, the Greek dictator Metaxas refused by a “no” legendary submit to the Italian ultimatum In the war that followed, the Greeks pushed the Italian army. ). We must recapture the spirit of 28 October. * * * Deputy Ministers: Nadia Valavani Kostas Mardas Ministry of Health and Social Security Minister: Panagiotis Kouroublis Deputy Ministers: Andreas Xanthos (Health) Dimitris Stratoulis (Social Security) Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity Minister: Panos Scourletis Deputy Ministers: Rania Antonopoulou (Unemployment) Theano Fotiou Ministry of Defense Minister: Panos Kammenos Deputy Ministers: Kostas Isichos Nikos Toskas Ministry of Foreign Affairs Minister: Nikos Kotzias Deputy Ministers: Nikos Chountis (European Affairs) Efkleidis Tsakalotos (International Relations) Ministry of Justice Minister: Nikos Paraskevopoulos
