Eight parties in Parliament, 25 independent MPs, a change of baton in the position of the opposition, the creation of a new parliamentary group (new left) and the dismantling of another (Spartans) compose an extremely complex setting that in many cases in the last 24 months has been as “red”. OPEKEPE, Tempe, the recent submission of no confidence against the government have been the occasion of stormy meetings and the ingredients of an explosive “cocktail” that clearly shows the way to changes in its regulation Parliament. Is the multifaceted representation? If there were less parties things would be better? Since the popular verdict resulted in this composition in 2023 no one can claim. The opposition cannot be represented by a strong pole, and democracy, through the ballot box, has led to today’s Parliament which must be accepted by everyone.

The plenary and the discussions held there was strongly tested and during the Memorandums with government and opposition to contradict particularly high tones and Golden Dawn representatives since the summer of 2012 to test Parliament’s strengths. Toxic discussions, institutional aberrations and the constant violation of the time of speech are still the rule today. Before the House closes for the summer, two events were even more concerned. The “controlled” by many solution to the letter voting chosen by the majority for OPEKEPE in the absence of “blue” MPs from the plenary, as well as the referral of Zoe Konstantopoulou to the Committee on Ethics for inappropriate conduct.

Today’s House Regulation, with some corrections and interventions, was formed about four decades ago when there were only four parties. New Democracy, PASOK, KKE and Coalition. It is obvious that conditions and times have changed. Both at numerical and in parliamentary representation. The basic “correction” that is expected to exist has to do with the breach of the speech time of the MPs and the leaders of the parties. It is something that the prime minister himself is determined to support first in order for the endless monologues in plenary to end. The design is the microphone to “close” the bureau. Those who have attended the European Parliament meetings know exactly that this system should operate. Of course there will be a speaker’s warning so that he can manage his speech and what he definitely wants to include in his placement. Speaking to Open yesterday, Nikitas Kaklamanis stressed that “this cannot continue. There will be a warning of a relative tolerance that will be specific and this will relate from the Prime Minister to the last MP. “

Speaking times, some modifications may be made. In this context, there are also changes to have the tightening of penalties for those who show behavior that do not match parliamentary morals. The insults, the characterizations that do not contribute to political culture, the day -to -day interventions, voices and holidays should be addressed in order for the House of Representatives to change significantly for the better.
