A new Cabinet arising from a sweeping reshuffle by Prime Minister
George Papandreou, announced shortly after midnight, was sworn in at
noon on Tuesday.
After the customary swearing-in ceremony, which was officiated by
Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece and held in the presence
of President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias and the premier, the new
ministers, seven alternate ministers and 24 deputy ministers -- 48 in
total -- were expected to head to their respective ministries to take

ministry -- and deputy minister Elpida Tsouri were not sworn in, and
