Parliament rejects ND proposal for inquiry into 3rd memorandum
Main opposition New Democracy΄s proposal to set up a Parliamentary examining committee to look into the events that led to Greece signing a third memorandum with its creditors, as well as the imposition of a bank holiday and capital controls, was rejected by a majority of MPs in Parliament on Tuesday (26/07/2016).
The proposal failed to collect the 120 votes needed under Parliament rules for a committee of inquiry to be set up, with the final count showed 155 votes against, 96 votes in favour and 20 votes of 'present'. The proposal was rejected by MPs of the SYRIZA-ANEL coalition and the Centrists' Union and supported by ND, Democratic Alliance and Potami MPs, as well as the independent MPs Haris Theoharis and Leonidas Grigorakos.
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and Golden Dawn both abstained, voting 'present'.
