Greek Parliament’s plenary session approved significant changes to the Greek constitution on Monday evening, based on proposals by New Democracy (ND) and SYRIZA which include regulations on the selection of Greece’s president, the right of Greeks abroad to vote at their countries of residence, and ministerial liability, ANA reports.
Ruling ND rejected Syriza’s proposals, while main opposition Syriza rejected the regulations on the Greek president and voting by Greeks abroad. Syriza supported the proposal it had jointly tabled with ND on doing away with a statute of limitations for ministerial liability. With 158 votes in the 300-strong parliament, ND passed several of its proposed revisions by majority vote.
