Greece faces constitutional votes and immunity debates
Greece faces several significant political developments. The Greek Parliament is scheduled for a second vote regarding constitutional amendments, a process marked by deep partisan divides. While the government seeks to advance these changes, the opposition remains largely resistant, with PASOK stating it will only participate in votes on specific articles it deems worthy of revision.
Separately, the Ethics Committee has recommended the lifting of parliamentary immunity for Zoe Konstantopoulou in two distinct cases. One involves a legal complaint from a police officer regarding personal data protection, and the second concerns a defamation lawsuit filed by the president of the Association of Judges and Prosecutors. The final decision on these matters rests with the Parliament's plenary session.
Recent MRB polling indicates a political landscape where New Democracy leads with 23.8% in voting intention, followed by the Greek Left Coalition at 14.3% and PASOK at 10.2%. In terms of leadership preference, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is favored by 23.7% of respondents, while Alexis Tsipras holds 14%.
