PM Tsipras sents letter to Parliament head requesting immediate convening of plenum
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras sent a letter to Parliament President Zoi Konstantopoulou on Tuesday requesting the immediate convening of the parliament’s plenum to debate and approve the agreement achieved between Greece and its lenders, so that the loan installment can be disbursed, government sources said.
In order to avoid justified reactions to the pressing timeframe, the letter said, the premier expressed his intention to submit tonight the relevant draft bill so that it can be distributed in time to lawmakers. It would also allow the relevant committees to convene on Wednesday and complete the process with the debate in the plenum on Thursday, August 13.
