The no-confidence debate lasted 34 hours, one of the longest, as informed by the Speaker of the House, that have been held on no-confidence motions.

The debate concluded with the statement of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis who focused on the comparison of the actions of the N.D. and SYRIZA governments.
