With the presence of the prime minister Kyriakou Mitsotakis and all political initials except Dimitris Koutsouba and Kyriakos Velopoulos at 11 am in the Plenary Session of the Parliament, the established consecration for the start of the new parliamentary session was held.
At the consecration, which was performed by the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, Mr. Ieronymos, the eyes of most MPs were focused on the PASOK parliamentary group, with Nikos Androulakis, appearing with the air of a winner, after his victory in yesterday’s first round internal party elections. Despite the fact that he did not want to make any statement to the journalists, the smiles of both the members of parliament who are on his staff and the president of PASOK were abundant, with the evening “derby” for second place between Doukas and Geroulanos being a key issue discussion in the wells of the green MPs, and not only. “Today is a bright sunny day for PASOK. May the 14th of October find us united to make our PASOK a great faction”, said Panagiotis Doudonis in the peristyle of the Parliament after the ceremony.
From the established ceremony all the co-candidates of Nikos Androulakis for the leadership of PASOK were absent (Geroulanos – Katrinis – Giannakopoulou), with Nikos Androulakis leaving the Plenary Hall to have a short four-four with the MP of Kozani from PASOK, Paris Koukoulopoulos.
In the government seats, next to the prime minister, the Ministers of the Interior Theodoros Livanios, Makis Voridis of State, Environment and Energy Theodoros Skylakakis and Development Takis Theodorikakos sat in order. “Let’s wish you all good strength, health, good work towards the course of all of us. A strong journey, a journey of love and above all a journey of hope. Be well”, Archbishop Hieronymos wished at the end of the ceremony.
According to information, during the ceremony, ND MP Domna Michailidou felt a sudden malaise which she quickly got over. After the consecration, the voting of new secretaries and deans followed with V. Ypsilantis (ND), V. Yogiakas (ND) and M. Kontotoli (SYRIZA) being elected deans, while Kefalogiannis, Hatzioannidou, Vrettakos, Koulkoudinas (ND), P Pappas (SYRIZA) and Christodoulakis (PASOK) secretaries. The draft budget for the new year is also expected to be submitted today.
