Parliament president Zoi Constantopoulou have raised the issue of past bills’ validity, speaking at the first press conference held since she assumed her duties, on Wednesday. The president said that some bills had not collected the 151 majority votes, given also that jailed deputies of the extreme-right Golden Dawn party were not given permission to be present during the voting. Asked if steps are to be taken on the matter, she said that, “there will obviously be initiatives you will be informed about”. The practice of forwarding bills under emergency procedures, frequent in the last parliamentary period, will not be repeated in this Parliament, Constantopoulou stressed as well. The same applies for the practice of attaching amendments to entirely unrelated bills, she added. The Parliament president also spoke on the parliamentary committee on German World War II reparations, noting that a special meeting would set up coming Tuesday evening for upgrading the committee. “It is a historical obligation of this Parliament to bring this mission to its conclusion", she said.
