TL;DR Summary

Kyriakos Mitsotakis has been sworn in as Greece's prime minister for a second term after his conservative New Democracy party won a landslide victory in the country's elections. Mitsotakis has pledged to accelerate institutional and economic reforms, including investing in the public health system and improving railway safety. However, the election also saw the return of the far-right to parliament, with three small nationalist parties gaining nearly 13% of the vote. Mitsotakis is expected to unveil his new cabinet in the coming days.
