Parliament approves government proposal for parliamentary probe into past health sector spending
The proposal concerns the period 1997-2014.
New Democracy’s proposal to extend the period under investigation from 1996 until today received 107 votes in favour and 151 against (21 “present”) and was therefore rejected. During the vote, the parties voted as follows:
SYRIZA and ANEL lawmakers approved their own proposal and rejected ND’s. ND lawmakers voted against SYRIZA’ANEL’s proposal and approved its own. The Democratic Coalition said they support their partys proposal which was not included in the vote because it didn’t garner the required number of signatures to be tabled. Its vote was registered as “present” for both proposals. Golden Dawn, the Communist Party and Potami approved both proposals and the Centrists’ Union voted “present” in both proposals.
The presiding Speaker Giorgos Varemenos suggested that the parliamentary committee be made up of 23 members and conclude its work within three months from the start of deliberations. The parties will now have to present the names of the lawmakers who will participate in the committee by April 21.
