PASOK’s parliamentary group is expected to vote against the amendment tabled last night in Parliament for the Unknown Soldier. At the Coordinating Committee meeting held via zoom yesterday, those of the MPs who were installed appeared negative and waited to study the amendment, which was finally tabled late in the afternoon.

In the PASOK parliamentary group, the logic prevailed that the government poses false dilemmas to divide the Greek people and that feuds with government ministers are an internal issue of the ND that should not affect the public sphere. The line was given by PASOK’s press representative, Kostas Tsoukalas, in his reply to the government representative.

“Mr. Marinakis once again set off on the path of division and toxicity. He reached the highest point of irresponsibility to use national issues as a tool to attack PASOK. With the sole aim of settling the internal ministerial conflicts, the government chose again to divide the Greek people over the Monument to the Unknown Soldier by posing false dilemmas and to attack the parents of the Tempos”, noted the PASOK press representative.

There were also voices that underlined that the amendment has issues of unconstitutionality with the ban on gatherings, and it is possible that this matter will be brought to the Parliament today by PASOK, who will take a fighting position, with Nikos Androulakis preparing for a strong presence in the Plenary and, after all, an attack on the government spearheaded by the amendment for the Unknown Soldier.
