Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis unveiled a broad cabinet reshuffle Friday as he seeks to shore up his government following major protests over its handling of the deadliest train crash in the nation’s history.

The changes include the appointment of Kyriakos Pierrakakis as finance minister, while his predecessor and close Mitsotakis ally Kostis Hatzidakis will become the government vice president. Other key ministries with new leadership include those for energy, shipping and migration.
