Greek Government Reaches Anti-Racism Bill Agreement
An anti-racism bill that was met by differing opinions by the two ruling parties of Greece, has finally reached a provisional agreement.
According to reports today, the bill has been stalled for a year-and-a-half, and is now predicted to hold a legislative vote on August 26th and 27th.
The draft bill mandates harsher consequences for racist individuals, including racial violent crimes, gay rights and for those who downplay the Holocaust, according to Ta Nea and reported by Kathimerini.
However, the two parties have not come to an agreement, regarding rights for same-sex couples. It has been put off the table for now, even though many appeals have come forth by gay partnerships.
