Greek opposition leader's constitutional reform push

Entities: Nikos Androulakis · PASOK–Movement for Change · Kyriakos Mitsotakis · Article 110 · Greek Parliament

Overview

In early July 2026, opposition leader Nikos Androulakis urged the Greek government to introduce tax cuts, market reforms and an upgrade of the health system to address rising inflation. By late July, he shifted focus to constitutional matters, accusing Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of attempting to create an unchecked executive branch through a new constitutional draft. Androulakis criticised the handling of Article 110, which governs amendment procedures, calling the government's approach an “institutional coup” and calling for a qualified‑majority requirement to prevent unilateral changes. He urged broader political consensus for any constitutional revision.
