The constitutional review, its range and its object were at the center of debate in the 10th Delphi Economic Forum held on April 9-12, 2025.

“The Constitution is there and is waiting for us to read it correctly. He has autonomy and can solve problems without revision, “the former President of the Republic noted, Katerina Sakellaropoulouadding that what is not easily revised is the attitudes.

Referring to the role of the PD, he stressed that he must be united and express the whole, noting that he is not an institutional counterweight. “If the political system judges it, it will take the risk. It is not our problem there, “said Ms Sakellaropoulou, and in relation to the possible creation of a constitutional court, he was in favor of the preventive control of constitutionality of the laws, because, as he said, it would not be a good solution to turn justice into an independent authority.

Asked by the discussion coordinator, Fai Makantasis, Dianeosis Research Director, for the interventions that may be required in justice, he replied that he was tired of hearing that justice is to blame for the problem of investment, at a time when there is no taxpayer. To conclude that whatever review to do, we will not see improvement, since the problem of justice is multifactorial.

To disintegrate the process of revising the Constitution, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, George Gerapetritisexplaining that it is not required to be sweeping or nihilistic. He was in favor of a more contemplative House and a administration that is closer to the citizen and more meritocratic, noting that we need a more independent justice.

Asked about the Ministers’ Liability Act, he replied that in practice preliminary committees have historically failed, as a process with relative rigor is transformed into purely policy.

At the same time, he expressed his reservations about the independent authorities, saying that he would not want a constitution of the independent authorities. Specifically, he said that we cannot remove matter from the accountant state power and transfer it to independent authorities, concluding that they must only operate where it is necessary so that the state does not arbitrarily.

At a different wavelength was the placement of Evangelos VenizelosVice -President of the Government & Foreign Minister (2013–2015), a peer professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki who noted that a revision that raises substantial issues cannot be made, as there are no political conditions for an increased parliamentary majority.

“We have a disposition of the Constitution, and when we depreciate it, we do not realize how big its unused deposits are,” the former deputy prime minister and former foreign minister said. Indeed, making a look back at the previous revisions, it stood out in 2001, as all the provisions were voted by an increased majority. He described the Constitution of 1975 conflicting, so that not all the basic political forces at that time accept it, and that of 1986, the object of a sharp conflict with the departure of the opposition.

“We can live a joy without review,” he noted George DellisProfessor of Public Law at the Law School of the University of Athens, adding “if we go ahead, the anxiety is that the review discussion begins and push the world to anti -systemism”. He clarified that a possible improvement is not only for additions but also to shrink some exaggeration.

Asked about linking the Constitution to the economy, he said that many critical constitutional authorities come through Brussels, citing Article 106 on the role of the state in the economy that has never changed and asking, if revised, to say the self -evident that the state is coordinating the economy to a free market.
