Discussion over bill on second prior actions package approved
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The discussion over the bill on the second package of prior actions with an emergency procedure was approved by majority.
Government parties SYRIZA, Independent Greeks (ANEL) and opposition parties New Democracy, Potami and PASOK voted in favour. However, they accused the government of forcing the Parliament to vote under pressure.
Golden Dawn and communist party KKE spoke of unacceptable procedures.
Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos defended the government's request to discuss the bill with an emergency procedure stressing the need to conclude the deal as soon as possible. Furthermore, he stated that the controversial issues relating to early retirement and farmers have been removed from the bill.
It is extremely important for the bill on the prior actions to pass so that the negotiation starts next Friday.
