The first page of the Greek Government Gazette Α 236 - 28.11.2020 including the Presidential Decree No. 98 with which the Executive State was established

The Executive State (Greek: Επιτελικό Κράτος, "Epiteliko Kratos") is a governance system of the Hellenic Republic established by the First Cabinet of Kyriakos Mitsotakis in August 2019 with the Law 4622/2019, the first to be validated during that Parliamentary Period.[1][2]

Description

Secretariats

The Executive State is a centralised governance system,[3][4] characterised by the establishment of "the Presidency of the Government", an autonomous public service with approximately 440 personnel (340 permanent and 100 nonpermanent positions), whose running cost was 184.800 euros in 2020.[5] The Presidency of the Government is controlled by the Prime Minister and consists of a group of Secretariats:[5][6][7][8]

  • General Secretariat of the Prime Minister
  • General Secretariat of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs
  • General Secretariat for Coordination
  • Special Secretariat for an Integrated Information System of Monitoring and Evaluating Governmental Action
  • General Secretariat of Communication and Information

ERT, AMNA, EYP

Most notably, with the Law 4622/2019 the Hellenic Broadcasting Corportation (ERT), the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA) and the National Intelligence Service (EYP) were passed under direct control of the Presidency of the Government, whose head is the Prime Minister. More specifically, the General Secretariat of Communication and Information was given the supervision of the ERT and AMNA[9] and the National Intelligence Service came under the sole control of the Presidency of the Government.[5]

National Transparency Authority

The Law 4622/2019 also included the establishment of an Independent Authority named the "National Transparency Authority",[10] which incorporated five formerly separate auditing departments and an anti-corruption body, with the aim of tackling corruption and ensuring transparency and accountability throughout public life.[11]

Inter-ministerial personnel

With the Law's article 104, provision was made for a group of inter-ministerial employees specialising in Public Policy Analysis, the Legislative process, and Digital Policy Analysis.[12]
