Congratulations to the Leader of PASOK George Papandreou for getting together what I think is a very competent cabinet. Full marks for ensuring tha 40% of all Ministers are women and at least one third are Macedonian (largest province of Greece is Macedonia) also great news that my all time favorite Theodoros Pangalos (otherwise known for his abrupt manner towards American Presidents) has been given the job of Deputy. Brilliant news that my own friend Damanaki Daskalopoulou (responsible for the 2004 Athens Olympics) has been given a key role in the cabinet. Sad that Dora Bakoyianni (ex foreign minister under the now dead conservative government) will no longer be around. Perhaps she should consider joining PASOK? She did some good work in trying to get the return of the Parthenon marbles stolen from Hellas and kept by the curators of the British museum. That work needs to continue. But thank God that we have a Socialist Hellas again!!
