Main opposition discusses stance in omnibus bill debate
New Democracy’s leader Vangelis Meimarakis told the party’s parliamentary group on Wednesday to discuss solely the omnibus bill on prior actions which will be discussed at the parliament’s plenum on Thursday and the main opposition’s position during the debate.
The note was made by Meimarakis as the party prepares to hold elections for a new leader.
After a thorough briefing on the main articles of the bill by the relevant MPs, one of the candidates for ND’s leadership, Adonis Georgiadis, said the party should dismiss all the articles. “I don’t have any trust in the prime minister,” he said.
Second candidate Kyriakos Mitsotakis criticized the bill but said some articles that promote growth could be supported, such as the privatizations. Third candidate Apostolos Tzitzikostas noted the bill is 90 pct taxes that will destroy Greek society.
