The state of hard confrontation, the toxicity environment and the often extreme polarization that dominates the political scene are not the most ideal conditions for the discussion of a constitutional review with good omen. The constitutional review process is activated by this House that is considered the proposal, as it will highlight the proposed articles of the Constitution, which should be voted on by the next House, which is the revisionist.

The critical numbers of the process are the 151 and 180. Articles that will be candidate to review should receive from this House 180 votesso they can be revised by the next House by simple majority 150. If they pass by simple majority from this House, then their revised version should gather 180 votes to the next to pass.

The fierce conflict focusing on the Tempe case leaves no room for optimism for convergence and achieving an increased majority by this House. It seems that the constitutional review process itself will most likely be used for a blame game Among the parties over who bears the responsibility of toxicity and inability to understand.

Yesterday, the Kyriakos Mitsotakis At the meeting with the President of the Republic, not accidentally made sure to point out that “Because we live in an environment of very high polarization and intensity, I think not with the responsibility of the government but with the selection of many opposition parties, I want to reiterate and invoke your previous status, that constitutional revisions have always been an opportunity for discussions that were not intended to build. Exactly because this is imposing the Constitution itself, so I hope the parties will come to this debate with the required institutional responsibility. ”

One day earlier he had expressed hope the PASOK To show an institutional attitude, to be serious and operate responsibly in the debate on the constitutional review.

The prime minister’s paranormalism for ‘Bridges’ and ‘Institutional responsibility’ They will find it difficult to find the opposition. An opposition that blames the government majority of unconstitutional practices and manipulations in relation to the Tempe case and how it managed the pre -trial investigation for the Christos Triantopoulos and probably repeat them in the case of Kostas Karamanlis. They are unlikely to recognize an institutional role in the government in terms of discussion of review when they believe and proclaim that they behave unconstitutionally. In the case of PASOK, the criticism of unconstitutional approaches on the part of the Government are also extending to the handling of the spy and in relation to the way the Independent Authorities operate.

After all, the opposition party has long been rushed to clear up and even on the occasion. Article 16 of the Constitutionin which he agrees that he will not give a white check of 180 votes at this stage. That is to say, it is not going to leave the configuration of the content of the revised article in the next parliamentary majority.

Beyond the content itself of the changes, which will surely be field of conflict and confrontationit is not certain that the political system will be able to overcome and escape the toxicity and polarization in which it has been moving for a long time.
