Government sources: Political agreement to prevent members of criminal organizations from entering parliament, instead of sensationalism

by

Political reconciliation has been a government pursuit for weeks, sources say, after SYRIZA sources announced that a separate legislative proposal would be tabled

The need wider political consensus in order to prevent criminal organizations from being represented in the Greek parliament, government sources point out. Earlier, corresponding sources of the official opposition had made it known that SYRIZA intends to undertake its own legislative initiative.

On this basis, government sources state that the political system, as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has emphasized, must exhaust the leeway given by the Constitution so that criminal organizations are not represented in the Greek Parliament and add: “In this context, he sought for weeks a broader political agreement based on a specific legislative proposal. This understanding will continue to be pursued with an open spirit of dialogue. Statements and actions for the sake of political impressions do not help. It is a demand of the democratic world to reach an agreement on this major issue and the government will pursue it by exhausting every possibility.”
