The political leaders have already been appointed, as has Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The prime minister invoked the founding declaration of the ND in order to… plead with the MPs to vote for the bill.
Addressing the ND dissenters in a harsh tone, he emphasized that “to those who are worried about our own area, let me remind them, let me remind us, about the core of our ideology, what our founding declaration, written 50 years ago, said. To always consider all citizens, not only equal before the laws but also with equal rights. To preserve from tradition, said our founding declaration, what time has proven useful. And finally to advance with bold and safe steps in the new and constantly evolving ones”.
