What is the most significant change in the Prime Minister's office since 2019?

"Five years after the first Mitsotakis government, the changes in the neoclassical building on Herod Atticus Street are more numerous than in the cabinet, where the same people are largely rotating in key ministries. The departure of Alexis Patelis and his replacement by Michalis Argyrou adds another piece to this puzzle, which is largely different from the one that started in 2019.", "Only Akis Skertsos, Thanassis Nezhs, Thodoris Kontogeorgis, and Kyra Kappi remain consistently in Maximos Mansion since 2019.", "The Prime Minister's office has seen significant turnover in key positions, including government spokespeople and diplomatic staff, while some core members have remained constant. This suggests a balance between maintaining experienced personnel and adapting to evolving needs."
