Politics
Louka Katseli was appointed as a Minister for Labour and Social Security in September 2010 following a cabinet reshuffle,[2] having previously served since the October 2009 installation of George Papandreou's socialist government as Minister for the Economy, Competitiveness and Shipping.
Prior to her first cabinet appointment, Louka Katseli had been the spokesperson for Economics for the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK).[3]
On 20 October 2011, Katseli was expelled from the ruling PASOK by Papandreou after she fulfilled a pledge and voted against a single article calling for the liberalisation of labour regulations, in a tight, heavily protested vote for an austerity program bill.[4] Following a vote of confidence in which she supported Prime Minister George Papandreou she was brought back into the party fold.
