Greece's conservative government has announced a major cabinet reshuffle as it works to address declining approval ratings and a rise in support for far-right parties.

New Transport Minister Christos Dimas, 44, will supervise an overhaul of Greece's railways. The government promised to modernize the railway network after the crash, but the safety gaps that caused the accident have not been tackled two years on, a state inquiry found last month.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Friday named new finance and transport ministers and handed other key portfolios to younger officials in a reshuffle designed to shore up support for his government after mass protests over a 2023 train crash.
