The PNP will concern the reinstatement of a provision that SYRIZA had repealed in 2018
Additional security measures in terms of the legal attachments of the National Intelligence Service is provided for by the act of Legislative Content to which the prime minister referred earlier in his message Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The PNP will concern the reinstatement of a provision that had been repealed by SYRIZA in 2018so that the requests of the National Intelligence Service are approved by the Appellate prosecutor, in addition to the EYP prosecutor.
“This has to be done and it will be done immediately with PNP» said Mr. Mitsotakis characteristically. Mr. Mitsotakis emphasized that the connection to Mr. Androulakis’s mobile phone, even though everything was done legally, was a mistake. As he said, in fact, characteristically “it was a mistake, I did not know about it and I would never allow it”.
Legislative acts are provided for directly by the Constitution, the relevant provisions of which stipulate that:
Article 44 §1
In extraordinary cases of extremely urgent and unforeseeable need, the President of the Republic may, following a proposal by the Council of Ministers, issue legislative acts. These acts are submitted to the Parliament for sanction in accordance with the provisions of article 72 paragraph 1, within forty days of their issuance or within forty days of the convening of the Parliament in session. If they are not submitted to the Parliament within the aforementioned deadlines or if they are not approved by it within three months of their submission, they cease to be valid from now on.”
Article 48 § 5
“After the measures of the previous paragraphs come into force, the President of the Republic, following a proposal by the Government, may issue legislative acts to address urgent needs or to restore the functioning of constitutional institutions more quickly. These acts are submitted for sanction to the Parliament within fifteen days of its convening in session and cease to be valid from now on, if they are not submitted to the Parliament within the above deadlines or are not approved by it within fifteen days after they were submitted.”
Therefore, for the production of these legal acts, the “normal” legislative procedure1 is not followed, i.e. the passing of the (standard) law by the Parliament and its issuance and publication2 by the President of the Republic. On the contrary, in this case the production of law is done exceptionally by the complex body consisting of the Council of Ministers (which is also the exclusively politically responsible one) and the President of the Republic; the acts of this body, the aforementioned p., have the same force as the formal law. However, the Parliament is invited to ratify, by now formal law, the p.n.p. within forty days from its issuance (or from the convocation of the Parliament in session, if it is not already in session). If the p.n.p. if it is not submitted to the Parliament for sanction or is not approved by it within three months of its submission, it ceases to be valid for the future (that is, without overturning its consequences up to that point). The sanctioning law of the p.n.p. can freely change its content, limiting or expanding it.
