It’s in progress meeting to elect the President and the Presidium of the Parliament. Voted as Speaker of Parliament for one day Konstantinos Tasoulaswho was elected with 270 votes out of 296.

This parliament is fleeting,on behalf of the Declared Power and the Power of the Majority“, – stressed the chairman of the parliament. Konstantinos Tasoulasimmediately after his re-election by the House of Representatives in the polls on May 21, 2023.

This “fleeting” parliament is not a stigma for him, as follows from some formulations about the parliament of one day or about the deputies of certain hours, Mr. Tasulas noted. The “transience” of the parliament is dictated by the highest institutional priorities and the priorities that constitute the gains of a democratic state, Mr. Tasulas pointed out.

In particular, he referred to the Constitution of 1864, which for the first time established the principle of popular sovereignty: “Since then, the supreme organ of the state has been the people, and not the supreme ruler,” Mr. Tasoulas said, adding: “Within the institutional threads of this Constitution, in August 1875. Declared principle. It was born from the famous speech from the throne of George I, who said that the necessary qualification of the governments that he would convene in order to entrust their government was the declared confidence of the parliamentary majority. Since then, 100 years have passed before the proclaimed principle was expressly enshrined in the 1975 Constitution. The corollary of the proclaimed principle is the majority principle, which is a parliamentary conquest and a clear preference for the constitutional legislator.”

“In the name of the principle of the proclaimed and the power of the majority, these two leading parameters of the parliamentary system, this parliament is fleeting,” Mr. Tasoulas explained, promising that it will serve to prepare him for the next one, which will respond to the People’s Mandate of June 25.

I am sure, said Mr. Tasoulas, “that the words of the Primate of the Greek Church, Blessed Jerome, will be heeded: the next Parliament will be fruitful, fruitful and creative. And I think that from today we all understand that the “transiency” of this period does not in any way reduce the significance of your election,” Mr. Tasulas said, addressing the deputies.
