“The draft law for same-sex couples is developing into a personal wreck of Kyriakos Mitsotakis”, underlines in a statement the SYRIZA-PS. “Hostage of the powerful far-right wing of his party, the so-called reformist prime minister is forced to put to a vote an incomplete plan. But he can’t convince her for that either ND parliamentary group, not even his ministers”, comments the official opposition and continues:

“In a sign of cowardice unprecedented for parliamentary ethics, he calls his MPs to abstain from voting! For his attitude, he is publicly and openly abandoned by the real leader of the extreme right wing of his party, Antonis Samaras!”.

“We understand the hostage taking of Mr. Mitsotakis by Mr. Samaras. We understand the difficulty of bringing the draft law to a vote. Let’s at least hope that Mr. Mitsotakis does not choose to abstain himself”, notes SYRIZA and concludes:

“SYRIZA – PS, as the only responsible and reliable progressive force in the country, does not play petty party games with an issue that concerns the equality of all citizens and the core of individual rights.”
