Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has chaired the first cabinet meeting of his new administration following his recent election victory.<br /><br /> The mandate we received can be summed up in one word: Work. Without selfishness. With a collective spirit. #Greece pic.twitter.com/p15PE16SZh— Alexis Tsipras (@tsipras_eu) September 25, 2015<br /><br /> Tsipras and his Syriza party have teamed up with the Independent Greeks party and hold a slim five seat majority in the 300 seat parliament.<br /><br /> Tsipras addressed his ministers: “We face the obligation to quickly implement what has been agreed. Implementation without delay is an immediate priority, and the first step is to very speedily conclude the first bailout review.”<br /><br /> The opposition New Democracy derided the cabinet as a ‘recycling of old faces in the same ministries’.<br /><br /> It is a tough and unpopular road ahead for Tsipras he must reform pensions and labour systems and oversee the recapitalisation of the banks and handle debt relief negotiations.
