Greece’s new Prime Minister names cabinet

Greece’s new Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis named his cabinet on Monday.

Mitsotakis’ conservative New Democracy party won an outright majority with 158 seats in the 300-seat legislature.

The newly-formed cabinet includes 51 ministers and only five women.

Greeks hope the new government can make the country’s economy work better after Greece emerged from the close surveillance of its international lenders last year.

Christos Staikouras was appointed as finance minister, while Nikos Dendias will head the foreign ministry.
