New ministers sworn in

The President swears in three new cabinet members and shifted another to a different portfolio in a mini-reshuffle triggered by a walkout by his coalition partner.

The three new ministers are award-winning researcher Philippos Patsalis (Health), academic Costas Kadis (Education) and economist Marios Demetriades (Communications). Former Communications Minister Tasos Mitsopoulos has now moved to defence. “Your appointment is not a random one, it is down to your excellent academic and technocratic achievements and distinguished presence in Cypriot society,” Anastasiades told his new ministers.
