SYRIZA claims strategic victories over Greek government

The SYRIZA-PS party announced two strategic victories following parliamentary interventions regarding a bill for servicers. According to party officials, the government was forced to withdraw Article 23 and expand the list of articles subject to a roll-call vote.

Party spokesperson Giorgos Panagiotopoulos stated that the pressure from a group of SYRIZA MPs led to the withdrawal of Article 23, meeting demands from bar associations. Additionally, the party successfully gathered 19 signatures to mandate roll-call votes for Articles 22, 24, and 30, which the party claims are protective of funds but burdensome for borrowers.

Spokesperson Dimitris Melidis also noted that SYRIZA-PS has been the only party to propose an investigative committee covering the period from 2015 to the present.
