The government is investing in the departure of the House of Representatives and at the start of the established August break to depreciate the powerful vibrations brought about by the handling of the vote for the proposals for a pre -trial investigation yesterday in the early morning.
If the initial concern of the government, which led to strong rumors of leaving the vote in the past few days, was that there would be differences and leaks in vote, which would bring the majority to defense against criticism from the opposition,
Continuing the harsh controversy yesterday shows that the issue will continue. Of course, the government defends the options made and rejects the objections to unconstitutional approaches and violating the House of Representatives. However, he is called upon to manage three different fronts.
The first concerns the interior of Parliamentary group of ND The prevailing climate is not particularly positive and criticisms are expressed about what happened at the plenary session and the image presented by the majority, which showed to resort to tactics to overcome the Skopelos of the pre -trial. It is a question of whether after what happened the unhappy Members are decreasing or increasing. The climate and reactions that Members will receive from the electoral base in the coming days, in the summer excursion to their regions, will judge much for their moods during the return after August 15th.
The second front is that with the opposition. The government majority is now without allies and interlocutors in the House, as they seem to be “opposite”, while what happened at the pre -trial meeting has caused great tension. The government has sought to close the issues related to OPEKEPE before the summer break. However, opposition parties insist that they do not recognize the outcome of the vote, regard it as non -appearance, and explore the moves they can proceed, to keep the matter in the spotlight and bring it back to the House.
The third front concerns the interpretation of forecasts of the Constitution and the Regulation of the House. Evangelos Venizelos made the start yesterday and triggered a public confrontation with the government over its choices and handling. And it is expected that there will be a continuation in the coming days.
On the part of the government, they provided, of course, answers, presenting their own reading about the predictions of quorum and letter vote. However, it is not pleasant and certainly not productive politically to maintain such a public debate.
