Creation of Super-Ministry for Civil Protection and Crisis Management

September 18, 2025

The government adopts a French model for better crisis management coordination, leading to the creation of a super-ministry for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Civil Protection. All related services will fall under this ministry, which will be responsible for fire management. Coordinator Andreas Grigoriou is being sidelined, with the EU expected to provide financial support. The implementation of these changes is guided by proposals from the French agency Expertise France. The processes for these changes will take time and require legal amendments.
