The president of main opposition New Democracy, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, stressed the need of voting a new Constitution, speaking on Monday at an event organized by the Centre for European Constitutional Law – Themistocles and Dimitris Tsatsos Foundation.

“The new Greece that we envision needs a new Constitution,” Mr. Mitsotakis noted stressing that “the crisis was created by politics and politics will get us out of the crisis, with the help of a new constitution”.

In this context, Mr. Mitsotakis submitted several proposals for the creation of a new Constitution, which among others would upgrade the role of the President of Hellenic Republic and would attract investments with secured tax and insurance environment. He also stressed the need for a constitution that protected a government’s term in power and the stability of governing cycles, which he said should be increased to five years from four.
