The next parliamentary process is completed. Similar results are expected: the proposal for a vote of mistrust is rejected to the government, but distrust remains.
The government confirmed the parliamentary cohesion, waging a tense struggle with the opposition, but it was not worried about the final result. The only disagreement was the exclusion of a member of the parliament shortly before the end of the session for an unacceptable remark, which was immediately eliminated so that there was no trace left, Writes CNN GREECE.
The opposition tried to “press” the government, and at times it succeeded in it, but this did not violate the parliamentary equilibrium. The strategy of opposition parties is not one. The Votum of Dorrotion, perhaps, was filed with the signatures of four parties and several independent deputies, but the cooperation ended on this. No one believes that there is a fragmented front of the opposition that threaten the government.
In the process of debates in parliament, everyone measured forces, knowing in advance that there would be no changes. The vote of no confidence is rejected, but distrust still prevails in Greek society. As all public opinion polls show for many months, distrust is mainly aimed at the government, but also affects the opposition.
Before politicians express their satisfaction with the result or the content of the debate, it would be nice to pay attention to society. It does not apply to these parliamentary procedures with great interest. The trust in political personnel is seriously undermined, and this will not change either by voting in the parliament hall, nor a voting vote.
Politics may have many questions regarding what position they should take in the future, but there is no doubt one thing: society requires answers.
The Greek parliament rejected the vote of no confidence in the government and Prime Minister Kiriakos Mitsotakis. 136 deputies spoke “for”, 157 – “against”.
The parliamentary group “New Democracy” (156) and independent deputy Haris Katsvardas voted against a vote of no confidence. The deputies from the Paco parties, Siriza, the “New Left” and “Polysis Eleftersis” voted for this proposal. Former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, Marios Salmas (independent, from ND) and five deputies of the Spartates party abstained from voting.
The debate before the vote went for three days and differed in the intensity of passions. The opposition accuses the government of delaying the investigation of the railway disaster, the largest in the history of the country: in 2023 57 people were killed.
The opposition said that the ministers were unable to eliminate the critical shortcomings of the transport system and now hide important evidence and evidence.
In February, all Greece passed Protest shares With the requirement to find the perpetrators in the disaster and seriously reform the country's railways. During the debate near the parliament building, manifestations were also completed, ending in unrest.
