Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos will perform the duties of Labour Minister Zeta Emilianidou who is being treated abroad after suffering cerebral aneurism, the government announced on Thursday.
In a brief statement, government spokesman Marios Pelekanou announced President Nicos Anastasiades had decided to assign the duties of the labour minister to Karousos, for as long as Emilianidou “is unable to perform her duties”.
The labour minister continues to be hospitalised in critical but stable condition in Athens.
Media reported that the next few days will be critical while the results of a CT scan she underwent this morning were expected.
In an announcement on Wednesday, the health ministry reminded that Emilianidou, 67, underwent surgery to supress the aneurysm she suffered on Sunday night and remains sedated.
Emilianidou was initially admitted to a private hospital in Nicosia after experiencing severe headaches and then due to the seriousness of her condition was transferred to a specialised hospital in Athens. Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas and some of her relatives travelled to Athens with her.
The president was informed from the first moment.
