New Greek government puts ministerial cars up for sale
The new Greek government has decided to sell most ministerial cars in order to save money for the debt-stricken country.
According to a press report, one of the first official cars to go under the hammer is the car, an expensive BMW, used by former Deputy PM and leader of Pasok Evangelos Venizelos.
To Vima quotes the Minister of Administrative Reform Giorgos Katrougalos saying that the government «intends to collect money by selling the ministerial cars».
The report says that ministers do not require official cars, as most of them use private transport means.
Minister of Finance Yanis Varoufakis, for example, is using taxis or his own motorbike and PM Alexis Tsipras is using a black Audi with Thessaloniki plates.
