PASOK is expected to take a negative stance in the vote in Parliament on the postal vote in the European elections and referendums, unless the party’s proposals are adopted.

The president of PASOK, Nikos Androulakis, speaking at the plenary session of the Parliament, said that his party had set as a condition, the provision of the right to vote by mail to domestic residents, only to those categories of citizens who objectively cannot vote (students, seasonal workers, people with disability etc.).

“Congratulations are due to the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for managing to shake the consensus majority in the air within a few hours. This methodology reveals how the ND perceives the role of the parliament. We have shown our intentions in practice. We want consent. We also did it in the summer when we voted in favor of the unconditional participation of emigrants,” Mr. Androulakis emphasized, adding that “the vote of emigrants was guaranteed by law thanks to the votes of PASOK. Swe agreed on the principle and on the present bill. But your arrogance. he is a very bad counselor. You translate the consent of the parties as a blank check. The rest of the parties as accomplices, even the president of the parliament who was declared the defender of the government. let’s see unreliability step by step.”

Mr. Androulakis spoke of surprise: But it cannot be done on the leg and the whole process was bypassed. Immediately withdraw the amendment and we will be open to discuss how the letter will be applied to the national ones as well, but when we see it in practice in the European elections” and added “If this system fails in the European elections what will happen? This shows incredible sloppiness. Seriousness is needed on this top issue. We owe this arrangement to the younger Greeks.”

In particular, he said: “Why is the right to vote by mail given to people who do not have any problems and live next to the ballot box. It gives the right to millions of Greeks even if there is no catch. For us, postal voting is only useful when there is a serious and objective obstacle. That is why we tabled a relevant amendment. All of these are easy to cross automatically and instantly. I can’t imagine that in a digital superstate such elements cannot be automatically cross-referenced.

The issue of abstinence is treated with ethics and credibility. Leave the technical means. Other are the problems of the political system.

We gave you a hand of consent and yesterday you answered us with contempt. The time will come when you will pay. Today we give you one last chance to withdraw the amendment you brought from the window. We are ready and positive in principle for a n/s that makes it possible to vote by mail for all those who are abroad but also for those who are inside the country with conditions. In such a law, PASOK is positive, in everything else the means of postal voting is instrumentalised”.
