Vote of amendment on arrears to state likely to take place on Friday (24/10/2014)
The provision for the installments of arrears to the State, due to be tabled by the government, is likely to be voted on in Parliament on Friday.
This estimate is reinforced by the fact that the plenary accepted a main opposition SYRIZA's proposal to extend for one more day the debate on amendments attached to an Administrative Reform bill.
The initial planning of the legislative work provided that the discussion of the bill and the amendments would be completed on Thursday and no plenary debate had been scheduled for Friday.
However, as soon as the discussion on the articles of the bill started, the Parliament Vice-President Ioannis Tragakis, who was chairing the debate, announced that the request of SYRIZA MP Theodoros Dritsas for one more session has been accepted and suggested that this discussion take place on Friday.
Tragakis also informed the Parliament that if there was a request for a roll call vote, this would be conducted on Friday. Dritsas said that his party agrees to a session on Friday. Nevertheless, he reiterated SYRIZA's disagreement with the practice of submitting amendments for which there is no ample time for discussion and which are unrelated to the content of the draft law introduced by the government.
That being the case, it is estimated that the amendment regarding the arrears, attached to the Administrative reform bill, will be eventually submitted on Thursday.
