PASOK’s intention to file its constitutional proposal for the constitutional assignment, noting that an understanding will be sought with SYRIZA and the New Left to change Article 86 on the lifting of ministers’ immunity, was made known by the opposition party’s press spokesman Kostas Tsoukalas.

“We have already taken initiatives and have said which articles should be changed,” Tsoukalas told Alpha Radio, adding that “we will have our trial proposal for 86, a letter will be written to the democratic forces.” As he clarified, “we would like to have an agreement on this issue with parties of the democratic opposition,” naming SYRIZA and New Left, while for the Eleftherias Party he said “I don’t think we will send a letter.”

“Where we can find common ground, we have no problem finding it, where we don’t, PASOK will proceed with its own proposal,” he added in this context.

Outlining PASOK’s proposal for the article in question, he said that “the reform should be done in a way that will enhance equality, equality, and the credibility of the political system. I don’t think that the solution is the complete deletion of the article.”

He was also negative on the ND’s proposal to change Article 16, saying “we have a different view from the CoE, which found the law on non-state universities constitutional. To a government whose institutions do as they please, to a government that does not mean any change, we will not give a blank cheque but will have our own comprehensive proposal.”

For his part, Panagiotis Doudonis, speaking in the peristyle of the Parliament, said that “PASOK was the first to open the debate on the Constitutional Review. You see, we are much more interested in the institutions than those who violate them. We will participate in the relevant debate from our own starting point and to shape the relevant regulations and the relevant super-majorities in the second so-called revisionist Parliament in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution itself.”

Asked to clarify whether he did not see 180 MPs for the proposing House, Doudonis said, “I think let us stick to what I have stated, it is clear that Article 110 and the relevant majorities are clear.”
