Dmitris Kairidis<\/b> proposes institutional changes through Constitutional Review<\/b>, while supplementing the section<\/b> presented by the Parliamentary Group<\/b> of ND<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The need to strengthen the autonomy of the people’s representatives in the legislative work was underlined by the parliamentary representative<\/b> of the party, speaking to the radio station Parapolitika 90.1. <\/p>\n
Kairidis<\/b> focused on the importance of legislative initiative<\/b>, noting that interventions by members of parliament should not depend solely on government approval. “I share the need to upgrade the role of the member of parliament. When an MP submits an amendment, for example, it should be debated and should not need the minister’s approval, and should also be voted on. We must now move within the framework of the Constitutional Review<\/b>,” he said.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the seasoned politician rejected scenarios of intra-party friction<\/b>, assuring that the government majority<\/b> remains alert<\/b> in the face of challenges. Commenting on the internal balance<\/b> of the party, he noted that “the majority is not fragile and never has our parliamentary group been more solid.<\/b> Remember in the 1990s what was happening in our parliamentary groups and compare it to today, I think we are rather sluggish.”<\/p>\n
On the occasion of tomorrow’s meeting of the parliamentary group of the New Democracy Party and whether he shares the criticism of his fellow MPs<\/strong><\/p>\n D.KAIRIDIS<\/b>: I share it. I share the need to upgrade the role of the MP. When a Member of Parliament submits an amendment, for example, it should be debated and should not need the minister’s consent and should be voted on. We must now move within the framework of the constitutional revision towards further upgrading our parliamentarianism.<\/p>\n D.KAIRIDIS<\/b>: It is good that we are meeting, we should meet more often and more de-dramatized<\/p>\n DIM: Has the executive state as a model failed after seven years?<\/strong><\/p>\n D.KAIRIDIS<\/b>: No, of course the executive state gave us 41% , the Greek people rewarded it in the 23rd elections and now I imagine it will be the same.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Asked if there are cells of over-concentration of power in unelected people in the Prime Minister’s entourage<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n D.KAIRIDIS<\/b>: There are and will always be irregularities as long as the problems exist and you have to provide solutions, and obviously wear and tear and complaints and things that can be done better after 7 years. We must always marry technocratic knowledge with politics. Politics will say together with the people because politics is a public function, if you don’t have the people with you what can you do with good technical knowledge. What needs to be done in our country from a certain point onwards we know the point is to be able to take it to the people and have the people with us and that is the constant battle. We need the combination of knowledge but we need the combination of knowledge but also the combination of politics.<\/p>\n Asked if he thinks that the period of introspection will end tomorrow or they are going into an election period with a fragile majority<\/strong><\/p>\n D.KAIRIDIS<\/b>: The majority is not fragile and never has our parliamentary group been more solid. Remember in the 1990s what was going on in our parliamentary groups and compare it with today, I think we are rather sluggish<\/p>\n Asked if the absence of Mr Karamanlis<\/strong><\/p>\n KIRIDIS<\/b>: It is emotionally costly for the party’s image<\/strong><\/p>\n KIRIDIS<\/b>: It is emotionally costly. For me it is an asset, he is very much loved by the base of the party, but he has taken care to distance himself from the party without hurting it.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dimitris Kairidis proposes institutional changes through the Constitutional Review, while at the same time defending the unity of the …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
