Greece's ruling New Democracy party has submitted its proposals for constitutional revision to Parliament, signed by 155 MPs. The proposals include bold reforms across various fields, such as the law on ministerial responsibility.
The Conference of Presidents in the Greek Parliament is set to begin the procedures for a constitutional review next Thursday. This marks the official start of the process to amend the country's constitution.
A Greek parliamentary representative stated that merely declaring support for cooperation is insufficient, and action is required. He noted that SYRIZA possesses the ideological and political tools to reignite a significant progressive change.
